The public sector firms will now have Cloud support provided by tech giant Microsoft, as the permission was granted to it by the government. Microsoft will use Azure cloud services under the government’s cloud computing initiative, GI Cloud (Meghraj).
Stevan Vidich, principal programme manager at Microsoft, said: “Making government services available to citizens online is a key part of the Digital India programme which aims to ‘transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.’ With the MeitY accreditation, referred to by MeitY as empanelment, Microsoft is now positioned to fully partner with India’s public sector organisations as they move to reshape India’s economic landscape.”
Meghraj was launched in 2014 by the UPA government to accelerate the delivery of e-services in the country while optimising its spending on information and communications technology.
Azure will help public sector organisations in India to make use of services such as infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), disaster recovery-as-a-service, dev/test, virtual desktop-as-a-service, and managed backup.
