The implementation of Presidential Decree No. 718, issued on
June 3, 2019, by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham
Aliyev, on the development of the “Government Cloud” (G-Cloud) and
the provision of cloud services, is ongoing.
Under the Decree, the Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency (AYNA) is
the latest government institution to transfer its information
systems and resources to the “Government Cloud”. The Agency has
fully migrated its information systems and resources to the Baku
Data Center operated by “AzInTelecom” LLC, one of the companies of
AZCON Holding. As a result, AYNA has ensured high availability of
its critical systems.
AzInTelecom provided AYNA with cloud services, including Virtual
Server – IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) and Backup – BaaS
(Backup-as-a-Service). In addition, the Agency is also provided
with SPLA-licensed Microsoft products and SIP telephony
services.
Within the framework of the project, the full or partial
migration of state institutions’ IT systems to the Main Data Center
in Baku and the Backup Data Center in Yevlakh is carried out. As a
result of the migration, institutions benefit from reduced IT costs
and improved performance of their information systems. The process
also ensures enhanced information security, a more resilient IT
infrastructure, high-quality service delivery, and 24/7
monitoring.
It should be noted that “AzInTelecom” LLC is the first organization
in the South Caucasus region to obtain the “TIER III”
certification, which defines international standards for cloud
services.
