Cloud and Data Center deployment for the Canadian government

Written by STAGIL | Jul 11, 2022 2:25:02 PM

Government agencies using Atlassian applications have discovered more ways to leverage the flexibility and functionality of Atlassian workflows. It usually begins with a department or team implementing an instance of Jira or Confluence to solve a specific problem or to manage an agency program. Based on that initial success, other teams request Atlassian applications to help them manage their mission-critical agency work. But there is often the question of whether it’s best to deploy Atlassian on-premises or leverage the power of the Atlassian cloud.

Challenges

Expanding Atlassian deployments enterprisewide helps create agency efficiencies, but it can also push agencies toward a tipping point. As user counts increase, agencies may find they need to consider broader platform support. Should they migrate to an Atlassian data center or the Atlassian cloud? Which is the better configuration to maintain performance, security, and high availability for my agency? It often comes down to individual agency mission requirements and regulations like data residency.
