Estonian IT Centre (RIT) offers key government cloud services on OCI
RIT provides shared ICT services for critical central government operations using Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer and Oracle EU Sovereign Operations.
“Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer provides us with advanced Oracle Database performance and high availability to support critical government applications. This service helps the Estonian government gain cloud benefits while meeting regional data residency and access regulations. This is something we were not able to achieve with conventional public cloud resources.”
Estonian IT Centre (RIT) oversees the implementation of Estonia's government cloud and provides public e-services and solutions. Its ambitious goal is to transform Estonia into the most digitally advanced country in the world. Given its management of sensitive data, digital sovereignty is critical. Because RIT manages sensitive data, it requires a highly available and scalable platform to help enforce compliance with data security and residency regulations in Estonia and the EU. Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, deployed within the customer’s data center and operated by the Oracle EU Sovereign Operations team, helps ensure that sensitive citizen data is stored and processed within EU borders, while delivering the flexibility and efficiency of a cloud environment.
