Cloud-based services for electronic civil registration and vital statistics systems.

Cloud-based services for electronic civil registration and vital statistics systems. J Health Popul Nutr. 2019 Oct 18;38(Suppl 1):24 Authors: McDowall B, Mills S Abstract This paper examines the hosting options for electronic civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems, particularly the use of data centers versus cloud-based solutions. A data center is a facility that houses computer systems and associated hardware and software components, such as network and storage systems, power supplies, environment controls, and security devices. An alternative to using a data center is cloud-based hosting, which is a virtual data center hosted by a public cloud provider. The cloud is used on a pay-as-you-go basis and does not require purchasing and maintaining of hardware for data centers. It also provides more flexibility for continuous innovation in line with evolving information and communications technology. PMID: 31627751 [PubMed - in process]
