Sovereign cloud for government and public sector undertakings
Host citizen services, department applications and data platforms on infrastructure in India, operated by an Indian company, with each department on its own isolated network.
In short
What does Neon Cloud offer government departments and PSUs?
Neon Cloud is a sovereign cloud: infrastructure in India, operated by an Indian company, with data and backups kept in India. Departments and PSUs get virtual machines, managed Kubernetes, storage and private networks priced in rupees, a separate VPC for each department or project, and managed services that cover patching, monitoring, change approvals and evidence for audits. Share your procurement route and documentation needs, and we'll tell you plainly what we can provide.

The challenge
What does the public sector need from a cloud?
Public systems carry public data and public accountability.
Sovereignty and control
Public data should stay in India, with a provider that operates under Indian law and jurisdiction.
Separation between departments
Each department, project or vendor needs its own network and access rules, so a problem in one system stays contained.
Services citizens can rely on
Portals for applications, payments and certificates see their heaviest days around deadlines, and must stay available.
Accountability for every change
Audits mean every change should be approved, recorded and traceable to a named person.
How Neon Cloud fits
Which Neon Cloud services fit public sector projects?
Infrastructure, security and operations from one provider, billed in rupees.
Isolated VPCs
A private network for each department or project, with security groups, a redundant virtual router option and site-to-site VPNs to offices.
Virtual machines
Linux and Windows VMs in five families for portals, databases and applications, with high availability included.
Managed Kubernetes
Run modern citizen-service platforms on Neon Kubernetes Engine, with role-based access for each team.
Firewalls and security monitoring
Dedicated firewalls with intrusion prevention, next-generation antivirus on each VM and SOCaaS security monitoring.
Managed operations
Neon RMM for monitoring, patching and backups. The Enterprise tier adds change approvals, DR drill support and compliance evidence reports.
Storage and archives
NVMe volumes for databases, and S3-compatible object storage for records, scanned documents and backups.
Reference architecture
What does a typical government setup look like?
Citizens reach the portal through a firewall and load balancer; each department runs in its own private network, and offices connect over encrypted tunnels.

Managed services run patching, monitoring and change approvals, with reports ready for audits.
Security and compliance
How does Neon Cloud support data sovereignty in the public sector?
Sovereignty is about where data lives, who operates the platform and which laws apply.
- Data and backups stay in India, on infrastructure operated by an Indian company.
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and SOC 2 Type II audited, with the certificate and report available under NDA.
- Each department or project on its own VPC, with access by role, multi-factor sign-in and an audit log of every change.
- SOCaaS collects logs centrally and keeps them for 180 days, the period CERT-In's 2022 directions require, to support incident investigation and reporting.
- Personal data processed in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, with a data processing agreement on request.
Procurement rules differ by department and scheme. Share your tender or procurement requirements and we'll confirm which ones we meet before you commit.
