Elitery, in partnership with AWS, has hosted a webinar titled “Disaster Recovery: A Comprehensive Solution in Maintaining Business Continuity in the Era of Digital Transformation with Reference to Government Regulations and Compliance” on Wednesday, June 8, 2022.
The webinar began with an opening speech by Mr. Sarwoto, the Chairman of the Indonesian Telematics Society. He emphasized the importance of Disaster Recovery in Indonesia, noting that disasters can occur at any time due to system failures or human error. Furthermore, Indonesia’s geographical position increases its risk of experiencing disasters.
The webinar was moderated by Mr. Fanky Christian, Chairman of the Jakarta APTIKNAS, and organized by PT Adhouse Clarion Events as part of the Digital Transformation Indonesia Conference and Expo (DTI-CX) series. Let’s take a look at a summary of each speaker’s discussion.
Application of SPBE and Development of the National Data Center
The first speaker in this webinar was Mr. Aris Kurniawan, the Head of Innovation, Development, and Harmonization of SPBE Applications, representing the Director-General of APTIKA from the Ministry of the Republic of Indonesia. He discussed the digital transformation of government, SPBE (Electronic-Based Government System), and the National Data Center. This upcoming National Data Center aims to meet the SPBE needs of every city and province by introducing data redundancy to ensure a resilient system through a hybrid cloud setup.
Benefits of Cloud Computing for the Public Sector
The second speaker was Mr. Dr. Muhammad Yopan, a representative from AWS Indonesia. He explained several benefits and advantages of cloud computing technology for the public sector in Indonesia, such as:
- 1. Efficiency and cost savings
- 2. Reliability
- 3. More focused work as there’s no concern with on-premise servers
- 4. Numerous innovations
- 5. Quick execution since everything is on-demand
- 6. Data security
- 7. Increased public trust
He also elaborated on the application of cloud computing technology in various public sectors, including the Communications and Information Technology Offices of Bali (Diskominfos Bali), and West Java (Diskominfo Jabar).
The Importance of Disaster Recovery in Reference to Government Regulations
The third speaker was Mr. Kresna Adiprawira, the President Director of Elitery. He discussed the importance of Disaster Recovery in relation to government regulations.
Article 40, paragraphs (1) and (4) of Presidential Regulation No. 95 of 2018 on the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE)
He talked about the significance of security and providing backups for SPBE applications.
Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 4/POJK.05/2021
Implementation of Risk Management in the Use of Information Technology by Non-Bank Financial Services Institutions.
In line with the above two regulations, Elitery offers Elicovery Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). Elitery ensures that every business can meet the requirements of regulatory compliance.
DRC Requirements to Support Applications in the Scope of Diskominfo Central Java
The fourth speaker, Mr. Iswahyudi from Diskominfo Central Java, presented on the development of applications within the Central Java government. One of the challenges in this development is the need for each system and application to be integrated with each other. With numerous servers and inadequate human resources, a solution for a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) is required. Thus, each main system within the Central Java government will eventually utilize DRC.
Testimony from Dapen BI on Elitery’s Elicovery Disaster Recovery as a Service
The next session was a discussion between Mr. Dhemil Hikmi, a Solution Architect at Elitery, and Mr. Muhammad Bahesti, the Head of IT Team at Dapen BI. Here, Mr. Bahesti explained the reasons or triggers for Dapen BI needing a Disaster Recovery as a Service solution.
One of the reasons is the regulation of the Financial Services Authority Number 4/POJK.05/2021, which requires the implementation of a DRC in financial institutions. Dapen BI officially chose the Elicovery DRC solution and service because it meets several requirements such as an SLA of around 99%, adequate infrastructure, the type of replication tools, data security, proactive communication and 24×7/365 support services to avoid the risk of downtime.
