YOUR CHALLENGES

OUR SOLUTIONS

Aging IT Infrastructure

Some government IT infrastructures are outdated and accumulating technical debt, which limits the quality of services offered to citizens and the capacity for innovation.

Modernization of Infrastructure

Migration to an on-premises hyperconverged infrastructure or to Edwin, R2i’s 100% Canadian cloud, in single-tenant mode.

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) brings control, scalability, and reduced infrastructure costs. Edwin in single-tenant mode offers a level of sovereignty, security, and control equivalent to that of on-premises infrastructure, with the flexibility, scalability and economic efficiency of the cloud.

Security

Protecting sensitive citizen data and ensuring the continuity of government operations against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats are top priorities to maintain public trust.

Cyber Resilience

Implementing cybersecurity measures is essential to protecting environments.

However, in the event of a successful attack, it is just as important to be prepared to rapidly respond to incidents, while respecting data sovereignty and residency.

Data Sovereignty and Residency

It is imperative that Canadians’ data remain in Canada and be subject to its laws, in order to ensure privacy protection and national security.

Dedicated Canadian Sovereign Cloud

While on-premises infrastructure is the ultimate fortress, Edwin’s single-tenant option offers the key benefits of the cloud: flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Edwin hosts data and applications in exclusively Canadian data centers, guaranteeing backups and disaster recovery, with all copies remaining in Canada.

Case study

The sovereign cloud in single-tenant mode for a government organization

A provincial government agency has an aging on-premise IT infrastructure. This situation results in high maintenance costs, increased security risks, and difficulties in securely sharing data with other organizations.

Challenges

The provincial government agency faces several major challenges: ensuring the confidentiality and sovereignty of highly sensitive information, complying with provincial privacy laws, and modernizing its infrastructure to enable innovation in citizen services, all within a limited budget.

IT solution implemented

The government agency is working with R2i.ca to migrate its applications to the sovereign Edwin cloud, in single-tenant mode. The solution includes a fully managed Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) with advanced security measures, end-to-end encryption, and a disaster recovery plan that ensures data remains in Canada.

Results

Migrating to R2i's sovereign cloud has significantly reduced operational costs by eliminating the need to maintain expensive physical infrastructure.
Security and compliance have been strengthened to ensure citizen data is protected to the highest standards.
The government agency now benefits from an agile and scalable platform, enabling it to develop and deploy new digital services for citizens more quickly.
