The activities and projects that we will implement together with Cisco are in line with the Group's broader objective of contributing to the digitization of the country ”said Carlo d'Asaro Biondo, CEO of Noovle.
Meanwhile, Tim prepares for the race that the Draghi government will launch for the management of the cloud. ( Here the in-depth analysis by Start on how Tim, Leonardo, Fincantieri and Fastweb move with Google, Microsoft, Aws and Oracle ). In fact, the process for the creation of the National Strategic Pole, the cloud destined to store all the PA applications and citizens' data, will start by July.
All the details.
THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN TIM AND CISCO
The collaboration between Tim, Noovle and Cisco will make it possible to offer innovative, integrated and end-to-end solutions to large companies, SMEs and PAs, reads the release.
The parties will leverage their respective infrastructures and skills, making use, among other things, of the Cisco Co-Innovation Center in Milan dedicated to Cyber Security and Data Privacy and the TIM Group sales network, distributed throughout the country.
WHAT NOOVLE WILL DO
At the same time, Noovle will make available its multi-cloud services and solutions, as well as its own data centers and around 1,000 dedicated professionals. Furthermore, the signatories of the agreement undertake to jointly design solutions for the latest generation of cloud security, ensuring maximum alignment with European regulations.
“The partnership with Cisco will allow us to accompany companies in the challenge of digital transformation through advanced multi-cloud services that ensure efficiency, cost benefits and security,” said Carlo d'Asaro Biondo, CEO of Noovle. "We provide the public and private sectors with automated platforms and cloud solutions that allow the management of customer needs, from connectivity to services".
INTEGRATE NETWORK AND CLOUD
"Together, we want to ensure that the cloud combined with the network is a solid strategic platform, on which Italian companies can count to face the challenge of relaunch – transforming the need to adapt to new scenarios and hybrid work environments into a lever. competitiveness ”commented Paolo Campoli, Cisco Vice President, Global Service Provider. “We must therefore develop a secure and highly automated infrastructure to integrate network and cloud, which guarantees security to the applications and services it supports, for any user, anywhere, with any tool. It is a fundamental step in helping companies and the country to take full advantage of digital leverage ".
IN THE CONTEXT OF GAIA-X
The partnership will also benefit from the experience in the cloud of the Tim Group that adheres to the Gaia-X project , for the creation of a European infrastructure for sharing and accessing data, pursuing the objective of data sovereignty (Digital Sovereignty).
IN VIEW OF THE RACE FOR THE NATIONAL STRATEGIC POLE
And speaking of data sovereignty, in our country the process for the creation of the National Strategic Pole, the cloud destined to store all the PA applications and citizens' data, will start by July.
The Recovery Plan allocates 900 million to the operation and the Minister of Digital Transition, Vittorio Colao, intends to close the transfer to the 'cloud' by 2022.
NOT ONLY TIM-GOOGLE ON THE RACE, BUT ALSO FINCANTIERI-AMAZON AND LEONARDO-MICROSOFT
The tender that the government is preparing will then have to select the cloud manager. All the tricolor giants of the sector are in the running, starting with Tim who gave life to Noovle to whom he conferred his data centers and entered into a strategic partnership with Google. But Fincantieri, in alliance with Amazon, and Leonardo together with Microsoft also moved. And Fastweb and Oracle could be on the way, and it is very likely that the executive, whoever wins, will still expect a public-private partnership, with the participation of subjects such as CDP or Sogei.
As reported by Il Sole 24 Ore, “the national strategic pole will be a set of four physical data centers with the potential to use cloud services ”.
