Multi-Cloud System In Government Sector | |
| Sumita Pawar |
Bahrain's Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA) has launched a project to modernise its private data centre, making it the first country in the region to implement a multi-cloud and hybrid cloud system in the government sector.
 |
The project aims to enhance the ability of the authority to host government systems and services, in addition to scaling for future growth in iGA and enhancing business continuity for government services within the internal cloud computing environment of the authority.
It will also increase the efficiency and effectiveness of government systems and services by supporting the development process and further reducing operational costs.
The project is being implemented in coordination with the US company VMware, a leader in the field of providing multi-cloud and hybrid cloud computing services.
Through this project, the authority aims to enhance direct response during emergency situations via the established data centre for disaster recovery, in addition to its development of a national system for backup as part of its continuous efforts to ensure smooth business continuity of the government data network.
The launch of this project comes as a result of the Kingdom's leadership directives and support for the digital transformation and its adoption as the first pioneering country to implement such a trend in the region.
