The implementation of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev No. 718 dated June 3, 2019, on the creation of the Government Cloud (G-cloud) and the provision of “cloud” services, continues.
Ministry of Science and Education was the next state institution to transfer its information systems and resources to "Government Cloud."
The Department of Informatization of the Education System under the Ministry partially transferred its information systems and resources to the Baku Data Center operated by "AzInTelecom" LLC under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport. By using the Colocation service in the "Government Cloud" project, the Department of Informatization of the Education System migrated its resources, ensuring high availability of critical systems.
It should be noted that the organization responsible for the "Government Cloud" project, implemented by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, is "AzInTelecom" LLC, operating under the ministry. Within the framework of the project, the IT systems of state institutions are fully or partially migrated to AzInTelecom's data centers in Baku and Yevlakh. The migration of government agencies to the "Government Cloud" leads to a reduction in current IT costs and an increase in the productivity of information systems. This process facilitates further security of information systems, the establishment of a stable and sustainable IT infrastructure, and high-quality services with prompt coordination and 24/7 monitoring.
"AzInTelecom" LLC is the first organization in Azerbaijan and the South Caucasus region to obtain the international compliance certificate "TIER III." Additionally, it operates two data centers located in Baku and Yevlakh, both of which meet the standards of the "ISO 20000," "ISO 22301," and "ISO 27001" certifications.
