The Ooredoo Data Centre has received the prestigious ISO 22301 certification – Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS) certificate - at QITCOM following a rigorous auditing process conducted by global expert Bureau Veritas.
Achieving the globally recognised BCMS certification positions the Ooredoo Data Centre as a leading data centre in the region, ready to store and manage data of the world’s leading businesses.
Having the world-class facility on their doorstep is also important for local businesses in Qatar, as it means there is a data management facility capable of managing and storing their data to international standards, and able to grow and expand alongside their data management needs.
The certification is awarded to companies that can demonstrate they have full business continuity systems and processes in place, so that clients’ access to data will be uninterrupted even in the most extreme situations.
Sheikh Nasser Hamad Nasser al-Thani, chief new business officer for Ooredoo, said: “Achieving this certification shows our customers and future clients that the Ooredoo Data Centre has taken the necessary steps to prepare for the unexpected, and that our facility sits at the cutting-edge of the industry.
“We have invested significantly in systems to ensure superior standards across our operations, particularly in the field of security, which is an area of ever-growing concern for our customers.”
The Ooredoo Data Centre is one of the most “sophisticated and advanced” compliant data centres in the region. The facility has been designed in compliance with world-class carrier standards and provides local and regional organisations with a full range of services, including hosting & co-location, web content delivery, data backup & restoration, business continuity & disaster recovery, IT security and infrastructure monitoring & management.
Leveraging the capacity of the Ooredoo Data Centre, Ooredoo also offers business customers a host of business data security options, including Ooredoo’s new Cloud Security, which enables protection from cyber attacks, viruses, malwares and emerging cyber threats.
