Multi cloud management - stage picture

Multi-Cloud for the Public Sector

Strengthening digital sovereignty with a multi-cloud approach

Strategic Use of Multi-Cloud in the Public Sector

The public sector relies on the use of cloud environments for the networked, scalable operation of IT applications. This is countered by high demands on sovereignty and security. With the German Administrative Cloud Strategy, the federal and state governments are addressing precisely this area of conflict and demanding more independence and the ability to switch to cloud use.

 

Arvato Systems supports the public sector on its path to greater sovereignty by integrating a multi-cloud approach. Depending on the technical requirements and protection needs, we transfer your applications to suitable cloud environments. We provide you with integrated support from the development of the target image to the migration of your applications and the operation of your multi-cloud architecture.

Effectively Implementing Multi-Cloud in the Public Sector

Your challenge

Workloads are distributed across different platforms, and standards and security requirements are not harmonized across the board. Migrations are time-consuming and interfaces and network connections are inconsistent. At the same time, the requirements for sovereignty, verification and the ability to switch in line with the management cloud strategy are increasing.

The target image

Together, we develop target architecture and cloud governance, establish landing zones, network and identity integration and implement migration waves. We integrate platforms such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud as well as private cloud options and support sovereign cloud scenarios in the public sector. Operation, monitoring and service levels are set up uniformly.

Our solution

Offerings such as the sovereign DELOS Cloud provide the ideal bridge between contemporary IT architecture and the specific needs of the public sector. Together, we develop a needs-based multi-cloud architecture and integrate targeted, sovereign options.

Benefits of Multi-Cloud for the Public Sector

Increase changeability

Multi Cloud reduces dependencies through standardized architecture and operating principles. This preserves switching options and procurement capability in the long term.

Securing sovereignty

We integrate superior cloud options into the target image and implementation and align data storage, access and operation according to protection requirements and specifications.

Standardize operation

Standardized service processes, monitoring and security standards create transparency and stability across multiple cloud platforms.

Our Services for Multi-Cloud in the Public Sector

Development of a strategic multi-cloud approach

We work with you to develop a target vision and governance for multi-cloud in federated structures. We define guidelines for security, data storage, identities, network and verification and determine which workloads are operated in public, private or sovereign environments. Building on this, we structure a migration portfolio and a roadmap that takes migration capability and operation into account from the outset.

Ensuring connectivity and interchangeability

Together, we set up a standardized basis for several cloud environments. This includes clear rules for access, identities and security requirements as well as standardized procedures for connection, traceability and key management. This makes migrations consistent, evidence easier to maintain and new services can be introduced more quickly and in a controlled manner.

Cross-platform migration and operations management

Together, we plan migration waves, secure handovers and standardize operations across multiple cloud environments. We establish service levels, monitoring, incident and change processes as well as cost and capacity control. Security requirements are enforced during regular operations and optimizations are carried out continuously. In this way, Multi Cloud remains manageable and delivers the desired modernization and sovereignty in the long term.
