Pittsburgh announced today a $4 million pilot partnership with Google Cloud to migrate its legacy IT infrastructure to the cloud.
The migration work is expected to take about a year of the four-year agreement, said Heidi Norman, acting director of the city’s Department of Innovation and Performance. The move will happen in three phases. The first will involve moving IT tools and applications that the department uses to monitor and manage the infrastructure. After that will be compute and storage capacity, followed by lifting and shifting other on-premises applications to the cloud. The migration will help the Department of Innovation and Performance support the city s 19 departments with creating and scaling citizen-facing services for mobility, transportation, infrastructure, public safety and more.
