The existing National Data Centre was established 15 years back. The data centre needs to be upgraded to today’s standards to which would facilitate decentralized governance and transform data management to provide government owned cloud services for government agencies.

Furthermore, given the current direction of government to embrace digitization in service provision, this upgrade has become all the more important.

This project aims to provide necessary infrastructure for the government to host automation solutions, online services and file storage services, and consolidate and strengthen human resources required to manage the government IT network.

Key components:

• Requirement analysis and design study
• Construction of the Data Centre building
• Procurement of necessary equipment
• Commissioning of a Tier 3 Data Centre
• Capacity building and training of staff
