Government cloud
The Estonian Government Cloud supports the modernisation and renewal of existing information systems, allowing the government to embrace opportunities offered by cloud technology. This will allow more agility in the provision of e-services by government agencies and critical service providers to residents and e-residents.
The solution will help to integrate the existing siloed IT infrastructure of the Estonian public sector into shared pool of resources. The Estonian public institutions will gradually transit from existing legacy systems to a new Government Cloud solution, which has been developed in accordance with the national IT Security Standard (ISKE), to ensure the compliance with safety and quality requirements. For example sensitive personal data is stored and handled with confidentiality, and integrity.
To accommodate physical security requirements, the Estonian Government Cloud will be deployed in two locations, having one location outside of the capital. This will allow to manage data and information systems in a distributed manner. To support the Estonian “digital” independence and uninterrupted operation of public IT services in state of emergency there is a long-term plan to establish e-embassies outside Estonia in friendly foreign countries.
The Estonian Government, represented by the State Infocommunication Foundation (RIKS), and a consortium of private sector companies including Cybernetica, Dell EMC, Ericsson, OpenNode and Telia, have developed the Estonian Government Cloud.
All consortium partners are responsible for specific contributions:
- State Infocommunication Foundation (RIKS) – data centres and management of customer relations;
- Cybernetica – ISKE certification process;
- Dell EMC – hardware;
- Ericsson – project management, hardware and software;
- OpenNode – technical leadership and cloud orchestrator (self-service portal and service store);
- Telia – operations, cloud related products and services
