Ooredoo on Saturday announced that its latest cloud-based data protection solution - the Ooredoo Cloud Backup Service for large-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small offices - will be available for free on a 30-day trial basis to maintain business continuity during the Covid-19 situation.
As enterprises in Qatar continue their operations remotely, having much of the workforce working from home could result in extra security challenges as part of business practices. To help address some of these challenges - primarily, corporate data being stored on desktops and laptops, or servers being unprotected - Ooredoo is offering its customers access to its enterprise-grade Cloud Backup service for a free 30-day trial, the company has said in a statement.
The Ooredoo Cloud Backup Service provides a "flexible, secure and always-on backup and disaster recovery solution, available at any time and from any location, delivered from Ooredoo’s Tier 3-certified Qatar Data Centre", the statement notes.
Ooredoo Qatar COO Yousuf Abdulla al-Kubaisi said, “At Ooredoo, we are proud to be playing a part in upholding business continuity amid the global pandemic. For the next month, businesses in Qatar can try backing up their data in the cloud for free, providing an extra protection for their business-critical data, which can be easily recovered from the self-service portal.”
Using the Ooredoo Cloud Backup Service, enterprises can safeguard crucial data – files, databases and applications – from any physical or virtual machine in their networks. This means that in response to human error, server or disk failure, or natural disaster, organisations can promptly and securely recover data, through a smart and intuitive interface.
Ooredoo’s business customers "can rest assured that the cloud backup platform is hosted in Ooredoo’s secure Tier 3-certified Qatar Data Centre and the data resides in the State of Qatar in compliance with customers’ data privacy requirements", the statement adds. Further, the Cloud Backup Service is provided as a managed service backed by Ooredoo’s industry leading SLAs.
Business customers can leverage the Ooredoo Advantage, "making Ooredoo 'Best for Business' thanks to its breadth and depth of talent, best fixed and mobile networks, broadest portfolio of ICT services and solutions, and for being a trusted partner for 60 years".
