eTalk: Digital Embassy

By Gilles Feith, Luxembourg’s Government Chief Information Officer and Director of the Government IT center, Luxembourg

The digitalisation of our society is following Moore’s law, and therefore our life becomes increasingly dependent on digital solutions. Today, citizens and companies can manage their life or their business online. The same goes for nations: More and more administrative procedures are created exclusively in digital form, to the point where paper copies do not exist anymore. This, in turn, creates an increasing need to safeguard a nation’s digital data. The data embassy concept bridges a gap between the tried and tested analogue concepts of our society and their new digital equivalents. A data embassy grants the privileges established by the 1961 Vienna convention on diplomatic relations into a data center space, a powerful new concept backed by state of the art infrastructures. In this context, the availability of Tier IV datacenters is one vital element, as is connectivity. Luxembourg has invested heavily in terrestrial and satellite communications and the data embassy concept benefits from these infrastructures.

 

  • The data embassy concept bridges a gap between the tried and tested analogue concepts of our society and their new digital equivalents.
