Ooredoo has announced the launch of a new Smart Solution - Out of Country Disaster Recovery - for enterprises and other major companies as part of its ongoing plans to enhance data security for all businesses across Qatar.
The Out of Country Disaster Recovery service provides businesses with peace of mind, linking their data centres with managed hosting and co-location support to three global sites in East Asia (Singapore), Europe (London), and America (Santa Clara), Ooredoo has said in a statement.
By providing companies with an instant link to top-tier data centres around the world, the service means that companies can be sure they will always have access to their systems and the capacity to recover all data - even if their own data centre is damaged by fire, flood or natural disaster, according to the statement.
Speaking on the occasion of the launch yesterday, Ooredoo chief new business officer Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad bin Nasser al-Thani said: “Today, we launch a genuinely world-class solution, which enables companies to link with three data centres around the world and fully secure their companies. Ooredoo is determined to secure our customers’ assets and provide them with access to the latest and most innovative services – and the launch is a sure sign for our customers that we are truly striving to offer the latest and the best.”
A comprehensive Disaster Recovery solution is becoming mandatory for companies as part of compliance and data protection regulations in Qatar and around the world, as firms guarantee to protect and recover any lost data.
The new Smart Solution, which is bolstered by global connectivity options, including MPLS, Global Dedicated Ethernet and Internet VPN services, means that businesses can protect their primary data in the event of an emergency, including natural disasters, cyber attacks and total system failures.
Ooredoo’s new Smart Solution will also provide support for fixed, mobile and Internet users, and enables instant data replication across international borders.
Through Smart Solutions like Disaster Recovery, Ooredoo delivers the most up-to-date cyber security solutions to Qatar. The Ooredoo Smart Solution offers protection for customers’ data at globally recognised and tier-III+ data centres, which all have the full ISO, SAS70 and ITIL certifications, the statement adds.
