Qatar Airways’ Primary and Back-up Data now Hosted on Pioneering Ooredoo Facility
Ooredoo and Qatar Airways have expanded their strategic partnership, with the national airline moving both its primary and backup data to Ooredoo’s cloud-hosting platform.
As part of the migration, Qatar Airways has moved its systems and infrastructure to the Ooredoo Data Centre. The move to Ooredoo’s first-of-its-kind cloud-hosting platform will enable Qatar Airways to deploy the latest generation of cloud backup and security solutions quickly and cost-effectively, in a flexible and scalable manner.
The opening of the hosting area in Ooredoo’s Qatar Data Centre 5 (QDC5) in Mesaimeer was attended by senior officials from both companies including Sheikh Saud Bin Nasser Al Thani, CEO, Ooredoo Qatar; His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways; and Waleed Al Sayed, COO, Ooredoo Qatar.
Sheikh Saud Bin Nasser Al Thani, CEO, Ooredoo Qatar, said: “Ooredoo has a strong working relationship with Qatar Airways and this partnership gives us a perfect chance to demonstrate our leadership in the field of data storage and business technology through our work with one of Qatar’s leading companies.”
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “This move demonstrates the confidence and commitment we place in Ooredoo as a business partner, and it is my hope that this partnership will continue to grow over the years to come, as our airline continues its global expansion.”
The cloud-hosting platform, which was launched recently in partnership with Microsoft offers a host of features including advanced cyber security, customer relationship management and file-sharing applications all on Ooredoo’s bigger and faster network.
