I'm also proud to say that ODP being the first CSP (Cloud Service Provider) has managed to add a value to the Omani market by introducing a rich cloud service portfolio where corporates can benefit the IT cost saving aspects with a great performance enhancement and allow corporates to focus more on their core business. Today we are providing to NLIC DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service) in a private cloud topology which is part of ODP cloud service offerings. Successful organizations such as NLIC, who have a steady customer base, need to have a plan in place in the unfortunate event of a disaster so that it does not experience any IT downtime which could affect its customers.

When companies start relying on cloud-based services, they no longer need complex disaster recovery plans." said Parvez Husain, Head of Business Development, Oman Data Park
