Amazon and Google beat out Microsoft, Oracle and IBM in the
tender for the four phase project known as "Nimbus", the Finance
Ministry said on Wednesday.
They will establish local cloud sites in Israel with an
initial investment of 4 billion shekels ($1.2 billion). These sites will keep
information within Israel's borders under strict security guidelines.
The four phases of the project include acquisition and
construction of cloud infrastructure, formulating government policy for
migrating to the cloud, integration and migration, and control and optimisation
of cloud activity.
Nimbus is a multi-year flagship project intended to provide
a comprehensive solution for the provision of cloud services to the government,
the defence system and other groups in the economy, the ministry said. -Reuters
Another tender process is under way to address the third
part of the project, in which dozens of local suppliers will be selected to
assist in the migration of government systems to the cloud and the development
of systems in the cloud environment.
