Mobily programme develops computing services in Saudi

RIYADH, January 13, 2015

Saudi Arabia-based telecommunication operator Mobliy’s programme for cloud computing has contributed to the development of computing services in the kingdom.

Mobily relied in providing this first programme of its kind in the region on qualifying a high reliability infrastructure where the investments amounted to SR5 billion ($1.3 billion), including the establishment of 42 data centres in the different regions of the kingdom.

It has also entered into global partnerships such as Virtustream , Oracle, IBM and Intel.

The programme was designed to improve the delivery of service to the market, and it is also regarded the first market cloud computing platform in the region where it has a portfolio of various services provided.

It also allows partners to use their own solutions and applications and acquire new vision about Mobily’s innovative systems that provide the customers ready-made technical solutions.

About 30 partners have already joined this programme since it was launched in June last year.

These partners were classified into different categories namely: merging and systems integration partner such as SBM, EXA Serve and Nesma companies; consultant partner and applications' partner such as ICT Systems, Xceed, Mena Itec, Naseej and other companies. Benefits offered to each category vary according to its category, allowing greater flexibility to this programme.

The partners offer technical solutions and necessary applications for governmental departments such as ministries of health and education which allow these fundamental departments to overcome all encountered obstacles through technical and untraditional solutions.

This can be witnessed in projects like the electronic school executed through Mobily’s partnership with ICT Systems and execution of social networks analytical project through Mobily’s partnership with Xceed company.

The cloud computing partners programme represents the corner stone that allows Mobily to enter into strategic alliances to execute several mega projects such as infrastructure projects for ministries of health and education, recovery of data in case of technical disasters in addition to project management.

This allows Mobily to be a major player in providing integrated communications and information security services in the Kingdom and also to be a global leading service provider in this sector. - TradeArabia News Service
