In line with its role as a Strategic Partner for Smart Dubai Office, du has announced a new partnership agreement that will see the UAE telco assume responsibility for migrating the data centres of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority to Dubai Pulse Cloud. DCAA will also join the brand’s blockchain network having selected du Blockchain Edge to host its own node. The two entities announced the partnership during a signing ceremony at GITEX Technology Week 2020, which takes place from 6-10 December at Dubai World Trade Centre.
Following integration with Dubai Pulse Cloud, du will manage, monitor, operate, and deliver all infrastructure and production components, supporting critical functions and enabling DCAA services to be operational and accessible 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Business continuity and enhanced security will be guaranteed regardless of any social or environmental challenges, while DCAA will also benefit from significant operational expenditure savings. Investing in new resources and infrastructure planning will no longer be necessary due to cloud migration, and the governing body can instead focus on solutions and applications.
In joining the Blockchain network, DCAA will also enjoy Infrastructure as a Service and Blockchain Platform as a Service, with du managing the components and operating model. DCAA will leverage Blockchain Edge capabilities to achieve scalability, provide seamless digital services, and increase efforts centred around business needs and demands. Furthermore, the ability to exchange data digitally with greater security will also be provided through integration with the unified business registry network.
As a cloud-based platform, Dubai Pulse offers virtual solutions that cater to web, application, database, and shared services, as well as a highly-secured environment. On the other hand, du Blockchain Edge transforms and empowers organisations, digitalising ecosystems and providing the tools to customise Blockchain networks with easy-to-manage features.
