NOP is a complex of integrated information systems designed to provide executive authorities of various levels, local governments, commercial organizations and individuals with services according to the cloud computing model.

Prerequisites

The creation of the NOP is a priority area of ​ ​ the Information State subprogram of the State Program of the Russian Federation "Information Society (2011-2020)"

The State Program defines a whole range of problems related to the informatization of executive bodies, which are an obstacle to the effective implementation of their functions, or show that budget funds, in the general picture, are not spent in the most optimal way:

• significant differences between public authorities in the use of information and communication technologies in their activities
• the need to ensure equal access to information resources, the development of digital content, the use of innovative technologies and a radical increase in the efficiency of public administration while ensuring security in the information society
• unnecessary infrastructure support costs, as each organization owns its own dedicated infrastructure and has to provide its own support
• low utilization of server capacities, since dedicated servers are purchased based on peak loads of each department and, accordingly, their capacities remain unused most of the time
• increased software development costs, since each organization finances the development of applications for its own needs and taking into account its own requirements, without having information about the existence of similar developments in the interests of other organizations
• incompatibility of software and hardware solutions, impossibility of data exchange between various state information systems
• lack of general requirements for the management of the implementation of individual programs and projects for the implementation of information and telecommunication technologies at the level of state authorities

Goals of creation

• Reduction of budget expenditures for optimization of activities of executive authorities and subordinate institutions
• Increasing the level of informatization of local governments
• Significantly reduce initial investments and provide free access to standardized services and software applications to individual entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized businesses
• Increasing the share of domestic developments in the services provided under the cloud computing model in the Russian Federation

Application Rental (SaaS)

A service model for providing the consumer with access to various applications operating in the cloud infrastructure. Applications can be of different types and are available from user devices running different operating systems. Users can access applications through dedicated software clients (including mobile platforms) or through a web browser

Within this service model, authorized users can access general-purpose applications and various specialized systems

General-purpose applications include systems widely used in the activities of organizations, for example, such as: office applications, accounting systems, project management applications, applications for providing unified communications.

Specialized systems include both typical systems for automating the activities of executive authorities or commercial organizations, and unique systems developed in the interests of a particular organization. The tasks of supporting and operating such systems are assigned to the Platform Operator and the system developer. Specialized systems of this kind may include: "Information system of an educational institution," "Medical information system," "Document flow of executive authorities and local self-government," etc.

Cloud Virtual Capacity Lease (IaaS)

Service model where a customer is provided with a virtualized technology infrastructure where they can deploy and execute arbitrary software, including operating systems and server applications

Within the framework of this service model, users have the ability to order virtual servers with predetermined characteristics (the so-called standard configuration servers) or servers, when ordering which the user can configure the necessary parameters: the operating system, the number of processor cores, the amount of hard disk and RAM

The virtual server is available at an IP address over the Internet for management and operation

Developer Platform Lease (PaaS)

A service model in which the consumer is provided with an environment for deploying and executing code, generated or purchased applications, on a cloud infrastructure, using platform-supported tools and programming languages with integrated eGovernment Infrastructure services

Within the framework of this service model, the following is provided:

• a team management system that supports the software development lifecycle
• database management systems
• web and application servers
• tools for developing and testing applications

2012: The secret of Rostelecom's "cloud" brand

The brand concept, name and identity for the national cloud platform launched by Rostelecom on the o7.com website in March 2012 were developed by the branding agency. BrandLab

"O7" is a formula that consists of two components: "O" - clouds and "7" - the code of Russia, "explained in BrandLab. The name is literally "saturated with oxygen -" O7 "is permeated with ease, innovation and dynamics," the agency said.

According to Alexander Eremenko, Managing Director of BrandLab, "naming was not an easy process, because it was necessary to create a name that would be well received both in Russia and abroad. At the same time, there are no "magic" words in Russian that could reveal the idea of ​ ​ "cloudiness" and innovation at the same time. And the English Cloud is already widely used by other developers, and in Russian it is associated more with the highlander Duncan MacLeod. "O7"in this respect is a real find. "

"The spirit of the formula" O7 "manifested itself in the visual concept of the brand. The trademark "O7" resembles a cloud, its plastic, dynamic shape symbolizes the advantages of a cloud platform - transformability and rapid implementation of even the most complex IT services, "explains BrandLab

For the cloud brand, BrandLab also developed the design of the www.o7.com portal, presentation materials and the design of the main services - "O7. Medicine, "" O7. Education, "" O7 . Housing and communal services, "" O7. City, "" O7. Business "and others.
