MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND EDUCATION TRANSFERS ITS IT SYSTEMS TO “GOVERNMENT CLOUD”

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.

The Ministry of Science and Education is the latest state institution to transfer its information systems and resources to the “Government Cloud.”

The Department of Informatization of the Education System under the Ministry partially migrated its information systems and resources to the Baku Data Center, operated by “AzInTelecom” LLC under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport. By utilizing the Colocation service within 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 “AzInTelecom” LLC, operating under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, is the organization responsible for the “Government Cloud” project. As part of this initiative, IT systems of state institutions are fully or partially migrated to AzInTelecom’s data centers in Baku and Yevlakh. This migration leads to reduced IT costs for government agencies and increased productivity of information systems. The project also enhances the security of information systems, establishes a stable and sustainable IT infrastructure, and provides 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, which meet the standards of the “ISO 20000,” “ISO 22301,” and “ISO 27001” certifications.
