HyperOffice is listed under AWS' service providers section on its website
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Cloud communication and collaboration software provider HyperOffice announced on Thursday that its software is now available through AWS GovCloud.
This announcement comes less than a week after Amazon Web Services launched its Oregon cloud computing region.
According to the press release, Amazon’s AWS GovCloud offers public sector agencies a selection of cloud based infrastructure and organizational applications.
HyperOffice says its solution complies with regulations like ITAR and HIPPA and fulfills government specific security requirements through certifications like FISMA, SAS-70, ISO 27001, FIPS 140-2 compliant end points and PCI DSS Level 1.
“We are all aware of the tremendous pressure on federal and state budgets,” Farzin Arsanjani, president, HyperOffice said in a statement. “Getting rid of costly and outdated legacy systems and shifting to cost effective cloud based systems will be high on the agenda of every public sector organization and government agency, whether local, state or federal.”
“The White House recognizes this opportunity. Vivek Kundra’s ‘cloud first’ initiative directs federal IT managers to look at lightweight internet based systems, especially in productivity and collaboration, to reduce costs and improve service delivery,” he added.
HyperOffice enables public sector organizations and agencies to move email, documents, projects, calendars and more to the cloud and access them from a centralized cloud-based suite.
Amazon launched GovCloud in August 2011 to help US government agencies move sensitive workloads to the cloud while complying to all regulatory requirements. GovCloud gives customers control over the placement of their resources and is accessible to US persons only.
The WHIR interviewed vice president, global public sector Teresa Carlson about Amazon’s purpose-built cloud.
