Cloud services

The request is to explore potential solutions for the Government Leased Cloud Infrastructure (GLCI). In addition, enhance the delivery of digital services to Papua New Guineans and businesses in the country.

The scope of the RFI includes several critical aspects that the interested CSPs must address;

1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Providers are expected to present their IaaS offerings and demonstrate how they align with the government’s overarching objectives in adopting cloud technologies.

Minister for Information, Communication and Technology (ICT), Timothy Masiu made this announcement.

He said there has been progress with the government’s digital transformation efforts regarding the IGIS project and IGIS data center.

He said the ICT Department since March has taken steps to start moving government agencies to the cloud.

The ICT Department will coordinate the project and provide the virtual cloud arrangements so the government can move away from the legacy problems associated with the on premise owned and operated infrastructure model such as IGIS.

As the largest Telecommunications and Entertainment Company in Papua New Guinea, it is well-known for its wide network coverage, providing internet connectivity to all sizes of businesses across all of PNG.
