Public Sector Cloud Computing
What are operators of vital importance?
In France, where our company's head office is based, operators of vital importance (OIV) are organisations that provide essential public services to a country. They are also referred to as operators of critical infrastructure, and are associated with sectors such as food supply, healthcare, water supply, telecommunications and radio broadcasting, space and research, manufacturing, energy, transport, finance, civil administration, military activity, and the justice system. French law requires for these organisations to identify critical IT systems, and deploy cybersecurity programs.
OVHcloud operates in strict compliance with each country's local regulations. We are conscious of the fact that UK public sector organisations, their equivalents in other countries, and operators of vital importance all require a rock-solid cloud computing strategy to meet the complex challenges associated with compliance and security.
By working with trusted providers, a growing number of companies are tackling the concerns they have about using the cloud in the public sector. Players like OVHcloud already have a proven track record in addressing these needs successfully by supporting customers in managing their transition, and helping them harness all the benefits that the cloud can offer for the public sector.
Why do public sector organisations and operators of vital importance have specific requirements?
Like businesses, public sector organisations seeking to migrate to the cloud have very specific expectations. Government, healthcare and education organisations face significant challenges — protecting data privacy, security, establishing a budget, and much more. With this in mind, a cloud-based approach can offer a number of advantages for the public sector.
Data security and personal data protection are always vital, no matter which sector a business is operating in. However, public sector organisations must be particularly vigilant, because their work is very closely tied to public confidence. Sensitive data like financial or medical files are at the forefront of this. By adopting a cloud computing strategy with OVHcloud, these structures can rest assured that their data is protected and secure. Our solutions are protected by the most advanced firewalls, with strict access controls. We also guarantee total confidentiality and isolation in the cloud.
Public sector organisations also rely on operating budgets and limitations, which require IT systems to be managed rigorously. They need to offer services that can be scaled and improved to fit the needs of a growing population. Since OVHcloud offers flexibility in both its solutions and its contracts, users can operate with total peace of mind and plan a realistic, manageable budget.
