Kazakhmys, the world’s largest copper producer, has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Kazakh IT company Freedom Cloud to implement advanced digital technologies in its operations. The agreement outlines plans to modernize Kazakhmys’ IT infrastructure, introduce cloud-based solutions, and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into production processes.
Company representatives say that transitioning to a cloud architecture will allow computing and network resources to be consolidated into a unified digital system, enhancing data protection and ensuring uninterrupted operation of critical systems.
Nurakhmet Nuriev, Chairman of the Board of Kazakhmys Corporation LLP, emphasized that the company is ready to outsource non-core IT functions to professional service providers without compromising system reliability.
A pilot project will be launched from January to June 2026 to test the new cloud infrastructure and digital services.
Freedom Cloud will provide Tier III infrastructure with backup systems, cybersecurity safeguards, and 24/7 monitoring. The infrastructure will support AI-driven production management tools and DevOps practices to accelerate the rollout of digital solutions.
“We are creating an infrastructure that will enable Kazakhmys not only to increase operational efficiency, but also to set an example for the entire mining and metallurgical industry in the use of AI and cloud platforms,” said Freedom Cloud CEO Temirlan Zinalabdin.
