Federal Act on Geoinformation (GeoIG)1. July 2008Art. 1 Aim

„This Act has the aim of ensuring that geodata relating to the territory of the Swiss Confederation is made available for general use to the authorities of the Confederation, the cantons and communes, the private sector, the public and to academic and scientific institutions in a sustainable, up-to-date, rapid and easy manner, in the required quality and at a reasonable cost.“

Law & Cloud

Definition of «Cloud Computing»Fraunhofer-Institut, November 2010

„Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned at reasonable cost and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.“

a perfect match (based on our use case)

Advice:Establish a Real-time Cloud expense monitoring with «Billing Alerts» from day one of your Cloud projects!

But be aware that:• Cloudability is running on top of AWS• It’s still beta

Conclusion from 3 years of operation in the «Public Cloud»

• Risk of «Data Loss» and «Unavailabilty» is mitigated more affordably in a Cloud than On Premises (at least in our specific use case)

• Thanks to the «Cloud», our customers benefit of a performant, flexible and affordable data infrastructure
