To promote the use and manufacturing of electric vehicles (EVs) in Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath government is currently focusing on the enhancement of ‘EV Upyog’ portal. The government intends to engage a software development agency in order to get several attractive features added to the portal.
As per the intention of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the process of hosting of the EV Upyog portal on cloud server and its integration with the official website of ‘Invest UP’ has been started.
Uttar Pradesh Development Systems Corporation Limited (UPDSCL) has started the process of hiring a software development agency for one year to upgrade the portal.
It is noteworthy that a cloud server is a pooled, centralised server resource that is hosted and delivered over a network — typically the Internet — and accessed on demand by multiple users.
Cloud servers can be located anywhere in the world and deliver services remotely through a cloud computing environment. In contrast, traditional dedicated server hardware is typically set up on premises for exclusive use by one organisation.
In some cases though, cloud servers can also be configured as dedicated servers by a cloud provider.
The EV Upyog portal will boast of various features such as cloud storage, database capabilities, networking options, and specialised software. Cloud servers prove to be better from a cybersecurity point of view, including cost-effectiveness, scalability, integration, API convenience, and reliability.
A detailed action plan has been prepared by UPDESCO to host the EV Upyog portal on a cloud server and integrate it with the Invest UP website. According to this, the software development agency will be entrusted with this job for a year. This cloud server and integration process will be carried out by the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) Empaneled Service Provider.
It will be done through 12 units with 4 cores, 32GB RAM, 50GB SSD, Window Server 2019, one static IP and 1TB bandwidth and technical support. The software development agency to be hired will develop and operate this infrastructure and complete technical processes along with taking care of its maintenance for a year.
