- Iran’s information technology organization is looking for new cloud computing providers
- The bidder will be evaluated, classified and then tank for suitability
- Other areas are also modernizing technical piles
The Iranian government is clearly looking for cloud computing suppliers as it bids to rebuild its technical piles.
The nation has announced a plan to evaluate cloud providers, grade and rank to determine that major government services would be the best suit to host, with a plan to create a panel of at least three qualified cloud operators that are considered fit for purpose.
Iran’s Information Technology Organization (ITOI) is now ready to assess potential cloud providers based on three different standards-ISO 27017 (Cloud Safety Control), ISO 27018 (individually identified information protection), and NIST SP is related to the 900-145, which US Cloud Computing Definition.
Iran is welcoming dialects for its next big cloud provider
Adopting Iran’s NIST standards may be surprising to view the country’s ongoing tensions with the US, but its recognition of these well -considered standards is good news for the protection of the data of citizens.
ITOI is now inviting IAAS, PAAS or SAAS, as well as provider offering private, public, hybrid or community cloud models.
Under the new scheme, services such as security, monitoring, support and cloud migration are also being welcomed, successful candidates are to be awarded the Cloud Services Rating Certificate, eventually to be listed as authorized providers that may be for an opportunity for major Iranian government contracts.
However, this process may not be so simple for Iran – many countries have made trading illegal with Iran, or have imposed major restrictions.
Nevertheless, Iran’s efforts to modernize their tech stacks show the ongoing tendency worldwide, with many other fields looking to diversify. European countries have started looking for local or open source options for the choice of Microsoft, while the US government has continued to pursue a plan designed to save considerable cash on IT contracts through centralized, mass purchasing.
