This time the solution provider will focus on security and performance of the Carrier.

HP is working with Gulf Air, Bahrain’s national carrier, for the supply and support of their innovative enterprise IT infrastructure, with a special focus on security and performance.

Gulf Air has introduced several improvements in its IT operations, including the recent introduction of private cloud computing for quicker and more efficient business operations, resulting in enhanced customer service. They have also adopted several ‘green IT’ solutions, including a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient data center that is recognized as one of the most environment-friendly in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

At a recent visit to the Gulf Air headquarters in Muharraq, Bahrain, a senior HP delegation, led by Eyad Shihabi, managing director, HP Middle East, met with the airline’s executive management team, led by Maher Salman AlMusallam, Gulf Air Acting CEO, to review the existing architecture and plan ahead for enhancement.

Gulf Air A/CEO Maher Salman AlMusallam commented on the two organizations’ lengthy association, saying: “Thanks, in part, to HP’s superior levels of security and performance, Gulf Air sees a reliable partner in HP upon whom we have depended over the years to support the airline’s critical environments. Our relationship is a testament to the airline’s commitment to constantly improve and innovate in our operations and provide the latest and best technology solutions in the interests of our passengers.”

Omar Draghmeh, managing director, HP Bahrain and Kuwait, said, “As primary infrastructure providers for Gulf Air’s IT division, we are happy to work alongside the airline as they continuously seek to enhance their IT services. HP brings significant value to this pursuit through our vast global and regional experience.”
