AWS and SAP NS2 give public sector cloud clients the edge
Data security , compliance and edge processing power are essential for tech development in the public sector . AWS , SAP NS2 and Verizon have the solutions
Private sector companies are rapidly adopting the cloud and rushing to migrate their data and applications into a global , distributed system . Similarly , public sector organisations across the world are looking to procure cloud technologies to accomplish their complex missions with limited resources .
The rapid digitalisation of government services has transformed the way the public sector interacts and exchanges data with each other and with their communities . When it comes to the cloud , public sector organisations are increasingly turning to Amazon Web Services ( AWS ) to serve citizens more effectively , accelerate innovation and digital transformation , and further enable their missions .
“ Government agencies and defence departments are increasingly using data to improve the quality of citizen service and mission outcomes ,” says Dominic Delmolino , Vice President , Worldwide Public Sector Technology & Innovation at AWS . “ These customers really want to take advantage of cloud technologies like artificial intelligence , machine learning and analytics for better insights and responses wherever their data is stored and processed .”
Data residency policies and guidance can require that data is processed and stored in an IT system that must remain within a particular country , state , or even city limit . This has led to a focus on edge computing , which allows clients to process data close to the point at which it is originally generated and logged , which also helps overcome problems with low latency .
AWS and SAP National Security Services ( SAP NS2 ) jointly deliver solutions , helping government agencies and defence departments address data residency , compliance , and edge computing challenges with Verizon ’ s 5G networks .
Together , AWS , SAP NS2 , and Verizon help government agencies and defence departments securely store and process data wherever the data needs to reside , in the cloud or at the edge . This enables rapid analysis of data to make critical decisions when every millisecond counts or data residency is crucial .
