Implementation of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev No. 718, dated June 3, 2019, on the establishment of the Government Cloud (G-cloud) and the provision of cloud services, is ongoing.

The Intellectual Property Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan is the latest state institution to transfer its information systems and resources to the Government Cloud.

The agency’s systems and resources have been fully migrated to the Data Center of “AzInTelecom” LLC, located in Baku. “AzInTelecom” LLC has provided the Intellectual Property Agency with cloud-based solutions, including virtual servers (IaaS — Infrastructure-as-a-Service) and data backup (BaaS — Backup-as-a-Service). As a result, the agency has ensured high availability for its critical systems.

It should be noted that “AzInTelecom” LLC, operating under the Azerbaijan Transport and Communications Holding (AZCON), is the organization responsible for the Government Cloud project. Under this initiative, the IT systems of state institutions are being fully or partially migrated to AzInTelecom’s data centers in Baku and Yevlakh.

The migration of government agencies to the Government Cloud contributes to reduced IT costs and increased productivity of information systems. This process enhances the security of information systems, ensures the establishment of a stable and sustainable IT infrastructure, and enables the provision of 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.”
