Monaco Cloud, a VMware Sovereign Cloud
provider, delivers the Principality with digital infrastructure and
services that meet the highest international security and
compliance standards.
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced that the Government of
Monaco has adopted a VMware Sovereign Cloud, provided by Monaco
Cloud. This deployment marks a significant step toward bolstering
the Principalities’ data security and confidentiality credentials
and accelerating its digital services targets.
A VMware Sovereign Cloud is a service that helps customers
assure sensitive data is better protected, compliant, and resident
within the national territory and subject to the laws of that
country. Adopting a VMware Sovereign Cloud by the Government of
Monaco is driven by a rapid increase in the nation’s digital
capabilities. This approach enables the Government to safeguard its
critical data assets while harnessing the power of cloud technology
to modernize public services, enhance citizen experiences, and
create greater economic value for Monegasque businesses.
Monaco Cloud, a VMware Sovereign Cloud partner, will operate the
Government’s sovereign cloud to help rapidly accelerate Monaco’s
‘Extended Monaco’ program, designed to make digital technology the
foundation of all public policies and services. As a VMware
partner, Monaco Cloud will support the Government’s goals,
guaranteeing that data is stored in Monegasque territory, and all
data processing is carried out within the country. With a VMware
Sovereign Cloud, Monaco can move one step closer to becoming a
robust digital hub, creating services through Monaco Cloud and
leading projects in e-health, e-education, and smart cities.
The key benefits to the Government of Monaco are:
- Accelerated digital transformation. A VMware Sovereign
Cloud empowers Monaco to deploy innovative digital services quickly
and securely, to create improved and engaging experiences for its
citizens, and competitive advantages for businesses.
- Enhanced data security. VMware Sovereign Cloud is
designed so that all sensitive and critical data remains within the
Principality’s borders. The sovereignty over data is crucial for
compliance with data protection regulations and safeguarding
business and national interests.
- Guaranteed resiliency. Monaco Cloud’s infrastructure is
based in Monaco and the data stored is subject to Monegasque law.
To help enable the Government to swiftly recover and resume
operations and services in the event of an unforeseen disruption,
data will also soon be backed up to a site owned by Monaco’s
e-Embassy in Luxembourg.
- Economic benefits to organisations including smaller
businesses. Many small companies lack the necessary security
and data compliance expertise in-house. The sovereign cloud
capabilities and digital services delivered by Monaco Cloud will
provide these businesses with higher levels of security and
economic value by enabling them to focus on their core business and
not infrastructure.
Jean Charles, CIO for the Government of Monaco,
says: "VMware’s sovereign cloud strategy and services align
perfectly with Monaco's commitment to a more secure, digitally
advanced government and nation. Monaco stands as one of the
countries with the highest level of security in the world. The
Principality of Monaco aims to establish itself as a robust digital
hub, just as it has been a strong financial centre, and data
confidentiality and security is paramount to this. This is a story
about enabling growth, efficiency, and secure digital
transformation for all enterprises in Monaco. We are currently
experimenting with AI to see how our services can benefit, but our
journey into the future is marked by careful steps, but with a
vision that's bold, inspiring, and transformative.”
Stéphane Caillet, Chief Business Development Officer at
Monaco Cloud, says: “Monaco Cloud was born out of delivering
excellence in data security and confidentiality for Monaco, with
ambitions to deliver these cloud services beyond our national
borders. The services we can offer through a VMware Sovereign Cloud
will help to accelerate the Principality’s digital transformation.
Data security for Monaco Cloud is by design–we adhere to the
highest data compliancy regulations within Monaco. Digital
technology is now at the heart of every economy, and it's essential
to be a significant player in the field.”
Monaco Cloud is a joint venture with the Government of Monaco,
established to provide digital services to the Government and with
an ambition to deliver services to businesses across Europe and
internationally. As a non-EU country, Monaco is not governed by
international data sharing regulations. However, the company meets
the Principality’s legislation and the highest data compliancy
regulations to offer services beyond its national borders.
Laurent Allard, Head of VMware Sovereign Cloud, VMware,
said: “The Government of Monaco is fiercely ambitious when it comes
to delivering digital services across its own departments and to
its citizens and businesses, and has recognised that a sovereign
cloud is the accelerator of these ambitions. As our VMware
Sovereign Cloud partner, Monaco Cloud can help deliver these
digital services to help the Government of Monaco drive innovation
more securely while complying with data privacy laws.”
VMware Sovereign Cloud partners provide sovereign capabilities
to nations to help ensure classified data is protected, compliant,
and resident within the national territory and subject to the laws
of that country. Being within a sovereign jurisdiction, sovereign
clouds are exempt from foreign jurisdictional control and managed
by national citizens with the relevant national security clearance
offering more securely operated cloud infrastructure and cloud
modernization services.
About the Government of Monaco’s Extended Monaco Programme
With the Extended Monaco Programme, Monaco Government is setting
out to combine the best that digital technology can offer and to
apply it simultaneously to all of its public policies and its
economy. It was launched by HSH Prince Albert II in April 2019, and
is led since then by Frederic Genta, Member of Government in charge
of Attractiveness and Digital Transformation.
This new model advocates a responsible and protective digital
universe that is at the service of human. Created to benefit both
Monégasques and those who choose the Principality as their place of
residence, for their business or for tourism, it is based on three
main priorities:
- Enhancing an already exceptional quality of life;
- Inaugurating a new cycle of economic prosperity;
- Boosting the value of the civil service.
