New Horizon has successfully signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Financial Monitoring Unit, marking a major step forward in advancing Pakistan’s digital transformation initiatives. Under this agreement, New Horizon delivered VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 to FMU, making it the first organization in the country to deploy this latest iteration of VMware’s cloud infrastructure platform. This deployment establishes FMU as a pioneer in adopting secure, scalable, and software-defined infrastructure, enabling improved operational efficiency, enhanced performance, and greater system resilience.
The deployment of VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 introduces a fully integrated software-defined environment that combines compute, storage, networking, and cloud management in a single platform. By leveraging this infrastructure, FMU can now streamline operations, improve data processing capabilities, and ensure that its critical financial monitoring services remain agile and secure. The platform also supports advanced automation and management capabilities, allowing FMU to optimize workloads and scale resources according to operational demand without compromising security or compliance standards.
The MoU signing ceremony was attended by representatives from the Broadcom–VMware team, including Charles Paik, Cheryl Chang, and Syed Maaz Ud Din, whose presence highlighted the strategic importance of this deployment. Their engagement reflects a shared commitment to innovation, technical leadership, and building enterprise-grade infrastructure that aligns with global best practices. Collaboration between New Horizon and VMware ensures that FMU benefits from both regional implementation expertise and international technology standards, creating a robust foundation for future digital initiatives.
This milestone underscores the growing importance of modern, software-defined solutions in public sector organizations tasked with managing critical financial data. The partnership demonstrates how strategic technology adoption can enhance governance, operational oversight, and secure handling of sensitive information. By integrating VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 into its infrastructure, FMU now has the ability to implement advanced monitoring, security protocols, and automation, while maintaining flexibility to adapt to evolving operational and regulatory requirements.
Beyond technical capabilities, the initiative represents the combined efforts of New Horizon, FMU, and VMware to foster a digitally empowered public sector. The deployment reflects a broader vision of creating resilient, agile, and secure IT ecosystems capable of supporting complex workflows and enabling effective decision-making. This collaboration serves as a reference point for other organizations seeking to modernize infrastructure and demonstrates the value of software-defined platforms in enhancing operational performance while maintaining compliance and security.
The successful MoU and deployment signify a concrete step toward building a modern, secure, and future-ready digital foundation for FMU, reinforcing the role of strategic partnerships in delivering enterprise-grade cloud solutions within Pakistan’s public sector landscape.
