The Swiss Sovereign Government Cloud Approach
The shift to cloud infrastructure for governments and authorities is both essential and challenging. At Phoenix, we understand the unique demands faced by governmental bodies during this transition. Navigating stringent data protection regulations, fortifying against cyber threats, and ensuring seamless integration pose significant hurdles. We specialize in developing and managing every facet of the Swiss Sovereign Cloud, offering a secure, compliant, and scalable platform.
Challenges
Transitioning to cloud-based data storage, navigating stringent data protection laws, ensuring security, and adapting to a new operational paradigm are key challenges for governments and public authorities. Skill gaps, financial considerations, and interoperability issues add complexity, but successful adoption promises efficiency gains, scalability, and collaboration opportunities, requiring a strategic approach.

Cloud Tier Model
The Swiss government is pursuing a hybrid multi-cloud strategy, continuing to rely primarily on its own data centres and services from federally owned private clouds. These are complemented by public cloud services, which are obtained from a number of public cloud providers.
The federal government's ‘Public Clouds Bund’ project provides its administrative units with the possibility of obtaining public cloud services if required. The decision as to whether an application runs in a private or public cloud rests with the departments. However, the DTI Sector does provide recommendations and tools.
