Abstract

This chapter provides analysis of cloud technologies as a current trend in the development of IT infrastructure, to focus on their main characteristics, their security levels and the increased requirements they must meet when used in defence and security. The main standards and requirements that modern data centres have to meet to ensure a high level of availability of the IT services provided are considered. Specific requirements have been formulated for building a sustainable system of modern data centres for defence and security needs, and attention has been paid to data protection when using cloud technologies. A solution is proposed for implementing cloud technologies, along with an approach for building an integrated system of data centre for the needs of defence and security in organizing collaborative work between officials within the organization.
