GEC NEWS WIREAl Noor Hospital will relocate its disaster recovery operations from a hosted facility in Jebel Ali, allowing the group to reduce operating costs, manage resources more effectively
Noor Hospitals Group is extending its networking system with the deployment of Avaya SDN Fx technology at a purpose-built data center in its new hospital in Al Ain. The project is being delivered by Avaya partner, PACMDS.
When the new data center is completed, Al Noor Hospital will relocate its disaster recovery operations from a hosted facility in Jebel Ali, allowing the group to reduce operating costs and manage resources more effectively. The Avaya SDN Fx technology has reduced the time taken for Al Noor to achieve a return to operations in the event of an outage from a period of hours to just minutes.
Al Noor began deploying Avaya’s fabric technology in 2014, based on the Virtual Services Platform 9000 core switch platform. Avaya SDN Fx offers a future-proof foundation for today’s megatrends—network virtualization, cloud, mobility, and video—while simplifying the network and reducing operational costs.
Wissam Ismail, IT Director, Al Noor Hospitals, said “The Avaya SDN FX technology delivers the high availability and resiliency that we require from our network and will allow us to add applications and solutions in future, enabling business transformation.”
Mohammed Areff, Vice President, Middle East, Africa and Turkey, Avaya, commented “By deploying Avaya SDN Fx, Al Noor has the versatility to quickly and easily deliver new services and applications for the benefit of its patients and its staff.”
