Over the past decade, the IT industry has seen the rise of cloud technologies because they offer better value for money, are more scalable, and in some cases are more reliable than providing those IT services on premise. Additionally, the available human resources for development and maintenance are limited within the Agency, and using managed platform and software services could address some of these concerns. These cloud technologies offer potential solutions for offloading the Data Centres in the Agency’s technical sites and dedicating their capacity for CBS environments or CBS data the Agency has to have on-premise to comply with its regulatory framework. The proposed strategy is designed to complement and enhance the Agency's future sourcing strategy, providing a framework for making informed decisions about infrastructure investments and service procurement.
In response to these evolving demands and opportunities, this document describes the Agency CBS Cloud Strategy: A Hybrid Multi-Cloud Hosting Framework. This strategy aims to streamline the IT infrastructure provision through a hybrid approach, balancing on-premise and cloud hosting solutions. The objectives are to accelerate system development and time-to-market, optimize IT resource management, ensure continued compliance with relevant regulations, and maintain robust security measures.
This strategic initiative represents a pivotal step in transforming the Agency's IT infrastructure, enhancing its development capabilities and operational efficiency. By embracing a hybrid model, the Agency positions itself to meet current challenges while preparing for future demands in the dynamic landscape of European justice and home affairs IT systems.
