In addition to serving customers in Oman, the cloud footprint will also provide customers in surrounding GCC countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar with the ability to do out of the country in region Disaster Recovery as a Service.
“As well as having strong internal demand for cloud services that we are keen to serve, Oman has long been considered the Switzerland of the Middle East when it comes to telecommunications, making it an excellent location for in-region out of country Disaster Recovery for companies around the Gulf,” said Adam Wolf, Technical Director, BIOS Middle East.
The new cloud footprint in Muscat complements existing cloud footprints already available in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Jeddah creating the Middle East’s first truly Region-wide Cloud. With the move, the UAE’s #1 provider of cloud services now supports extended digital transformation services across the GCC. The new cloud zone enables companies in Oman to keep all their data within the borders of the country, meeting compliance requirements for many business sectors, while also accelerating their readiness towards meeting the goals of Oman Vision 2040.
