Azerbaijan Tourism Board transfers all information systems to "Government Cloud"
Baku, October 18, AZERTAC
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 Azerbaijan Tourism Board is the latest state institution to transfer its information systems and resources to "Government Cloud." All of the board's information systems and resources have been placed in the Baku Data Center, operated by "AzInTelecom" LLC, under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport. By migrating its IT systems to the "Government Cloud," the Azerbaijan Tourism Board has ensured high availability for its critical systems. "AzInTelecom" LLC provided the Azerbaijan Tourism Board with cloud services, including Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) for virtual servers and Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) for backup solutions.
It should be noted that "AzInTelecom" LLC, operating under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, is responsible for the "Government Cloud" project. As part 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" reduces current IT costs and increases the productivity of information systems. This process also enhances the security of information systems, establishes a stable and sustainable IT infrastructure, and ensures 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 meeting the standards of the "ISO 20000," "ISO 22301," and "ISO 27001" certifications.
