A digital-first public sector needs simple, resilient, and affordable IT

ThinkOn is a Canadian-owned and -operated company, so we have a vested interest in protecting Canadian data. We are the only Canadian supplier with the contractual capability to sell cloud-based data management services to support both Federal Government Sensitive (PBMM) workloads as well as workloads from all levels of municipal, federal, and Indigenous government public sector entities in Canada—from healthcare and education to defense and policing.

To tackle growing data security concerns and further research and development (R&D), ThinkOn has opened a highly secure, state-of-the-art Global Security Event Operations Centre (SOC) run by an elite research and response team.

ThinkOn has a Digital Evidence Management (DEM) archive and a Digital Public Safety (DPS) R&D team for video analytics and archiving. The DEM archive provides secure hosting of vendor-neutral digital evidence content management and long-term digital evidence archiving for public safety organizations across Canada.

If it involves data, we have a solution that will help it thrive. With ThinkOn, public sector agencies across Canada can address digital service delivery objectives while adhering to regulatory requirements.

We need a trusted partner in the Federal Government to provide hosting of our applications while meeting the rigorous security standards required for Protected-B information and satisfying the ITSG-33 requirements. With ThinkOn, we can check all those boxes.

From Cloud First to Cloud Smart

J. Richard Jones speaks with Craig McLellan, CEO Of ThinkOn, about foreign cloud providers and the benefits of a Canadian-based solution.

Keeping Canadian data safe and sovereign

The Canadian cloud difference and the security and compliance pitfalls of public sector organizations relying on global CSP providers. 

The public sector faces unique challenges—but we get you

We’re the only CSP capable of offering sovereign cloud to the Government of Canada. Our services are built on a model that puts simplicity first, with no-surprise billing, no fees (ingress, egress or otherwise), and no vendor lock-in. We are a trusted partner who understands public sector needs and the critical nature of data supply chain protection for Canada’s future.  

Our Canadian Sovereign Cloud: Built by Canadians,
for
Canadian data

ThinkOn Sovereign Cloud ensures that data sovereignty, traceability, and supply chain management are in full compliance with Canadian regulations—critical for any government or public sector organization that works with sensitive or Protected-B data.

Familiar with VMware infrastructure? So are we 

VMware recognizes ThinkOn as their Canadian VMware Sovereign Cloud partner. The VMware Sovereign Cloud initiative helps customers engage with trusted national CSPs to meet geo-specific requirements around data sovereignty and jurisdictional control.

The Unusual Way Forward

ThinkOn is protecting businesses’ data as the world works from home, and Export Development Canada is helping them export their intellectual property to the globe.

Familiar infrastructure makes migration so much easier 

Over 90% of public sector workloads are built on VMware hypervisor technology. This means that ThinkOn’s cloud infrastructure, also built on VMware technology, allows for seamless migration of existing investments and application modernization options for existing legacy IT environments. Simple, straightforward migrations. Now that’s cloud smart.
