Viviamo in un mondo sempre più digitale e un’efficace gestione dei dati è oggi un requisito essenziale per qualsiasi organizzazione. Per erogare servizi digitali sicuri e innovativi ai cittadini, la Pubblica Amministrazione ha bisogno di accelerare il passo nel percorso verso la digitalizzazione. Per questo MongoDB, già scelto scelto come unico database NoSQL all’interno del Polo Strategico Nazionale (PSN), è adesso disponibile all'interno della convenzione Consip, "Bando Licenze Software Multibrand 6 - Lotto 2", con un basket di 25 milioni.

Consip è la centrale acquisti della Pubblica Amministrazione italiana. Attraverso gare e convenzioni con i principali fornitori di prodotti e servizi IT, Consip mette a disposizione delle Pubblica Amministrazione contratti e condizioni d'acquisto vantaggiose, nel pieno rispetto delle normative sugli appalti pubblici.

Da ora in poi, per un anno, tutti gli enti della Pubblica Amministrazione potranno acquistare MongoDB in modo semplice e veloce e adottare così una tecnologia flessibile e dinamica senza la necessità di indire nessuna gara.

Il database Nosql per la Pubblica Amministrazione:

La Pubblica Amministrazione deve gestire un’enorme quantità di dati di diversa tipologia che devono essere sempre disponibili e sicuri, pensiamo ai servizi sanitari o all’anagrafe. Un database scalabile e flessibile è essenziale per garantire un accesso rapido e senza rischi alle informazioni e per supportare lo sviluppo di applicazioni e servizi digitali avanzati.

L’architettura di MongoDB, basata sul document model, consente di archiviare, recuperare e analizzare i dati in modo efficace e la sua capacità di scalare in modo orizzontale garantisce prestazioni elevate anche durante carichi di lavoro molto intensi. Lo testimoniano i progetti realizzati ad esempio con Roma Capitale e LazioCrea.

Relational Migrator

Molte pubbliche amministrazioni utilizzano ancora database relazionali per gestire i propri dati. Tuttavia, negli ultimi anni, i database NoSQL come MongoDB stanno diventando sempre più popolari anche nel settore pubblico per la loro flessibilità e scalabilità.

Per supportare la migrazione da relazionale, MongoDB ha rilasciato Relational Migrator, il tool che analizza automaticamente lo schema e i dati presenti nel database relazionale e genera uno schema MongoDB equivalente, occupandosi di tradurre tabelle, chiavi esterne e altre strutture proprie dei database relazionali nel modello documentale di MongoDB.

Lo strumento si occupa anche di migrare effettivamente i dati dal database relazionale a MongoDB, gestendo in modo trasparente la conversione dei dati nel nuovo formato. Gli amministratori possono eventualmente intervenire e ottimizzare lo schema generato prima di completare la migrazione.

MongoDB Relational Migrator, il tool per migrare i workload da relazionale a MongoDB.

Relational Migrator supporta i principali database relazionali come Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL e Microsoft SQL Server, permettendo quindi di migrare dati e applicazioni a MongoDB in tempi rapidi e senza impattare le normali attività operative.

La convenzione Consip

L'inclusione di MongoDB nella convenzione Consip segna un nuovo importante traguardo per la Pubblica Amministrazione italiana. Le agenzie governative e le organizzazioni pubbliche ora possono acquistare licenze e servizi MongoDB in modo più facile e conveniente tramite convenzione.

MongoDB esordisce in convenzione Consip con un basket di 25 milioni, questa la necessità stimata ad oggi, e un lotto interamente dedicato, il numero 2. Le licenze e i servizi MongoDB saranno acquistabili tramite Italware, System Integrator con oltre 35 anni di esperienza nel settore ICT.

Cosa è incluso nella convenzione

  • NTSE (Named Technical Services Engineer)

  • Dedicated Consulting Engineer

  • Major Version Upgrade

  • Performance evaluation and tuning

  • Atlas rapid start

  • Atlas search fondation, migration and optimization

  • Kubernetes readiness

  • Formazione e-learning

La convenzione Consip sarà attiva per un anno, fino a fine ottobre 2024.

Vantaggi per la PA

L'adozione di MongoDB offre numerosi vantaggi alla Pubblica Amministrazione, tra cui:

  • Maggiore flessibilità ed efficienza nello sviluppo di applicazioni digitali

  • Possibilità di gestire grandi volumi di dati in modo scalabile

  • Servizi cloud-native per alte prestazioni, disponibilità e sicurezza

  • Supporto per architetture moderne e approccio API-first

MongoDB Atlas AWS CloudFormation and CDK Integration Expansion

At MongoDB, we meet our developers where they’re at and offer multiple ways to get started and work with MongoDB Atlas . Since our GA launch of the MongoDB Atlas integration with the AWS CloudFormation Registry at the start of this year, users have had the freedom to manage their MongoDB Atlas resources using familiar YAML or JSON CloudFormation Templates. This provided developers and DevOps teams the core Infrastructure as Code (IaC) benefits: enhanced automation, version control, infrastructure consistency, and improved compliance. In addition to these updates, we went further and announced support for CDK at MongoDB.Local NYC in June 2023, which allowed development teams to leverage MongoDB Atlas resources natively in the language of their choice: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, and C#. Today, just ahead of AWS re:Invent , we are excited to announce several key improvements and expansions to our AWS CloudFormation and CDK integrations that we hope will continue to make developers' lives even easier. New MongoDB Atlas resources on the AWS CloudFormation Registry Nine new MongoDB Atlas Resources have been published including Federated Database Instance , Serverless Private Endpoint , Programmatic API Keys Management , MongoDB Atlas Gov Support , and MongoDB Atlas Organization Management . This brings the total MongoDB Atlas Resources count on CloudFormation Registry to 42 and allows developers to do more with MongoDB Atlas and AWS CloudFormation. AWS region expansion Are you a developer based in or have your end customers in Hyderabad India , Melbourne Australia , Spain , Switzerland , or the UAE ? The good news, we have published all 42 Atlas Resources in each of these new AWS regions as well. Benefits include reduced latency and improved compliance with data sovereignty regulations. This brings the total MongoDB Atlas availability from 22 to 27 AWS regions on the AWS CloudFormation and CDK. New CDK level 3 resources The CDK provides different levels of abstraction for defining cloud resources: L1 constructs, which are direct mappings to AWS CloudFormation resources, and higher-level constructs like L2 and L3, which can provide high levels of abstraction. L3 constructs, also known as "Design Patterns" or "High-Level Constructs," combine multiple resources together in commonly used architectures with intelligent defaults, saving developers from manually having to glue L1 and L2 constructs together each time. Hence, we are happy to announce several new AWS CDK L3 resources including support for MongoDB Atlas Serverless . Migration to the Atlas Go SDK Lastly, we are delighted to have migrated our AWS CloudFormation resources to the new Atlas Go SDK . This is the middle layer that translates AWS CloudFormation calls to the Atlas Admin API (which is ultimately responsible for provisioning your MongoDB Atlas infrastructure). This migration goes a long way in accelerating our internal development velocity and enabling us to publish more MongoDB Atlas Resources on AWS CloudFormation soon after they go GA. Learn more about the key benefits of the Atlas Go SDK . Start building today These MongoDB Atlas integrations with AWS CloudFormation are free and open-source, licensed under the Apache License 2.0 . Users only pay for underlying MongoDB Atlas and AWS resources created and can get started building with the Atlas always-free tier ( M0 clusters ). Getting started today is faster than ever with MongoDB Atlas and AWS CloudFormation. We can’t wait to see what you will build next. Learn more on our MongoDB Atlas and AWS CloudFormation page.

3 Ways MongoDB EA Azure Arc Certification Serves Customers

One reason more than 50,000 customers across industries choose MongoDB is the freedom to run anywhere—across major cloud providers, on-premises in data centers, and in hybrid deployments. This is why MongoDB is always working to meet customers where they are. For example, many customers choose MongoDB Atlas (which is available in more than 115 cloud regions across major cloud providers) for a fully managed experience. Other customers choose MongoDB Enterprise Advanced (EA) to self-manage their database deployments to meet specific on-premises or hybrid requirements. To that end, we’re pleased to announce that MongoDB EA is one of the first certified Microsoft Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes applications, which provides customers even more choice of where and how they run MongoDB. Customer adoption of Azure Arc has grown by leaps and bounds. This new certification, and the launch of MongoDB EA as an Arc-enabled Kubernetes application on Azure Marketplace , means that more customers will be able to leverage the unparalleled security, availability, durability, and performance of MongoDB across environments with the centralized management of their Kubernetes deployments. We are very excited to have MongoDB available for our customers on the Azure Marketplace. By extending Azure Arc’s management capabilities to your MongoDB deployments, customers gain the benefit of centralized governance, enhanced security, and deeper insights into database performance. Azure Arc makes hybrid database management with MongoDB efficient and consistent. Collaboration between MongoDB and Microsoft represents an opportunity for many of our customers to further accelerate their digital transformation when building enterprise-class solutions with Azure Arc. Christa St Pierre, Partner Group Manager, Azure Edge Devices, Microsoft Here are three ways the launch of MongoDB EA on Azure Marketplace for Arc-enabled Kubernetes applications gives customers greater flexibility. 1. MongoDB EA supports multi-Kubernetes cluster deployments, simplifies management MongoDB Enterprise Advanced seamlessly integrates market-leading MongoDB capabilities along with robust enterprise support and tools for self-managed deployments at any scale. This powerful solution includes advanced automation, comprehensive auditing, strong authentication, reliable backup, and insightful monitoring capabilities, all of which work together to ensure security compliance and operational efficiency for organizations of any size. The relationship between MongoDB and Kubernetes is one of strong synergy. With Kubernetes, MongoDB EA really can run anywhere, such as a single deployment spanning on-premises and more than one public cloud Kubernetes cluster. Customers can use the MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator, a key component of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced, to simplify the management and automation of self-managed MongoDB deployments in Kubernetes. This includes tasks like creating and updating deployments, managing backups, and integrating with various Kubernetes services. The ability of the MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator to deploy and manage MongoDB deployments that span multiple Kubernetes clusters significantly enhances resilience, improves disaster recovery, and minimizes latency by allowing data to be co-located closer to where it is needed, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. 2. Azure Arc complements MongoDB EA, providing centralized management While MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is already among a select group of databases capable of operating across multiple Kubernetes clusters , it is now also supported in Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes environments. Azure Arc enables the standardized management of Kubernetes clusters across various environments—including in Azure, on-premises, and even other clouds—while harnessing the power of Azure services. Azure Arc accomplishes this by extending the Azure control plane to standardize security and governance across a wide range of resources and locations. For instance, organizations can centrally monitor all of the Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters using Azure Monitor for containers , or they can enforce threat protection at scale using Microsoft Defender for Kubernetes. This centralized control significantly reduces the complexity of managing Kubernetes clusters running anywhere, as customers can oversee all resources and apply consistent security and compliance policies across their hybrid environment. 3. Customers can leverage the resilience of MongoDB EA and the centralized governance of Azure Arc Together, these solutions empower organizations to build robust applications across a wide array of environments, whether on-premises or in multi-cloud settings. The combination of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced and the MongoDB Enterprise Operator simplifies the deployment of MongoDB across Kubernetes clusters, allowing organizations to fully leverage enhanced resilience and geographic distribution that surpasses the capabilities of a single Kubernetes cluster. Azure Arc further enhances this synergy by providing centralized management for all of these Kubernetes clusters, regardless of where they are running; for customers running entirely in the public cloud, we recommend using MongoDB’s fully managed developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas. If you’re interested in learning more, we invite you to explore the Azure Marketplace listing for MongoDB Enterprise Advanced for Arc-enabled Kubernetes applications. Please note that aside from use for evaluation and development purposes, this offering requires the purchase of a MongoDB Enterprise Advanced subscription. For licensing inquiries, we encourage you to reach out to MongoDB at https://www.mongodb.com/contact to secure your license and to begin harnessing the full potential of these powerful solutions.
