VMware has confirmed that the Government of Monaco is to adopt a VMware Sovereign Cloud, provided by Monaco Cloud.
This deployment marks a significant step toward bolstering the Principalities’ data security and confidentiality credentials and accelerating its digital services targets.
Monaco Cloud, a VMware Sovereign Cloud partner, will operate the Monaco Government’s sovereign cloud to help rapidly accelerate Monaco’s ‘Extended Monaco’ program, designed to make digital technology the foundation of all public policies and services.
Laurent Allard, Head of VMware Sovereign Cloud, VMware, said: “The Government of Monaco is fiercely ambitious when it comes to delivering digital services and has recognised that a sovereign cloud is the accelerator of these ambitions. As our VMware Sovereign Cloud partner, Monaco Cloud can help deliver these digital services to help the Government of Monaco Drive innovation more securely while complying with data privacy laws.”
Jean Charles, CIO, Government of Monaco, said: “VMware’s sovereign cloud strategy and services align perfectly with Monaco’s commitment to a more secure, digitally advanced government and nation. Monaco stands as one of the countries with the highest level of security in the world. The Principality of Monaco aims to establish itself as a robust digital hub just as it has been a strong financial center and data confidentiality and security is paramount to this.
Stéphane Caillet, Chief Business Development Officer at Monaco Cloud, said: “Data security for Monaco Cloud is by design – we adhere to the highest data compliancy regulations within Monaco.”
