The Algerian authorities are preparing to give the green light to the project for the construction of a digital data center by Huawei, the Chinese technological giant. This decision is part of a committed effort to digitize all sectors and strengthen the country’s digital infrastructure.
Indeed, during the council of ministers presided over by Abdelmadjid Tebboune, the urgency of digitization was emphasized. The high commissioner for digitization presented a progress report, prompting the president to order an acceleration of digitization at all levels.
Furthermore, the need to collect and store digital data securely was emphasized. The head of state demanded that each sector speed up the digitization of their data with a view to centralizing them in a data center.
Approval of the contract with Huawei
In addition, the council of ministers marked a significant step forward by approving the construction of a data center, with Huawei as a partner. This strategic choice stems from recognized expertise and established partnerships in Algeria.
The construction of the data center is part of an overall digitization project aimed at modernizing the country on scientific bases. This project will also help to combat bureaucracy and corruption through digitized and transparent processes.
Digital infrastructures, both technical and organizational, require significant investments. The creation of a government data center will strengthen the security of ministerial data and protect telecommunication infrastructures against cyber attacks.
In conclusion, Algeria is resolutely committed to the path of digitization to modernize its infrastructure and promote its economic development. The partnership with Huawei for the construction of a data center represents a major step in this transition towards a promising digital future.
