MANAMA, December 20, 2016

Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, has selected Dell EMC’s market-leading Data Domain and Data Protection Suite solutions to create a highly scalable protection and availability foundation for supporting data growth.

Gulf Air aims to leverage the backup and recovery capabilities offered by this solution to help meet its data accessibility requirements.

As an international carrier serving 40 cities in 23 countries across three continents, Gulf Air is driven by huge volumes of user-generated data - further expected to grow by 12 percent in the next 18 months.

With the modern passenger in mind, Gulf Air optimizes the data to develop an array of products and services. To meet this end, efficient backup and recovery with resilient protection storage is key to fuelling the national carrier’s business ambitions, a statement said.

Thus, IT forms the bedrock for Gulf Air’s data-driven business operations, ensuring the smooth and uninterrupted provision of services for its passengers around the globe.

Gulf Air opted to deploy a highly scalable and sophisticated Dell EMC data protection solution to power the IT transformation of its existing storage infrastructure, reduce related costs, future-proof it with advanced efficiencies and safeguard critical data and processes. This will also facilitate business continuity and growth.

Dell EMC’s data protection and availability solutions comprise Dell EMC Data Domain protection storage and Dell EMC Data Protection Suite software to ensure advanced data protection in addition to achieving the highest levels of data availability around the clock.

Dr Jassim Haji, director IT, Gulf Air said: “As a national carrier with a long heritage of delivering exceptional passenger satisfaction, we are committed to providing our customers with leading-edge products and services– which can be hampered by a lack of real-time data access. Data protection and availability solutions help ensure that our current IT environment not only facilitates a high level of data availability, but also extends enhanced data protection and recovery at industry-leading speed. With an eye on the needs of the future, we are immensely pleased to continue working with Dell EMC.”
