Data Center
The discriminating criterion would be the obligations set out in Law 35 & 64 as well as the compliance rules set out by AM (e.g. business unit code of conduct, etc.). In so doing, the choice of data center should be in Quebec. Here are the Quebec and Non-Quebec options.
Data Fabric
The preferred type of data management system would be a data lake, as the data will generally be raw, unstructured data. Because of their ability to scale at low cost, the data lake could also be used :
for data backup and recovery;
for scientific data mining.
In order to meet the need for automated data integration between milestones and within each milestone, as well as a requirement of information access commissions (Quebec / Europe) in relation to metadata, the type of data architecture based on the data factory would be preferred.
