Batelco, Tata sign pact to expand

Manama : Batelco, and Tata Communications have signed an agreement strengthening their partnership to extend the reach of their global data centre, cloud and connectivity solutions to their customers. Batelco has chosen Tata Communications as a cloud partner to ensure high levels of flexibility and reliability for its customers through Tata Communications’ IZO Cloud Enablement Platform.  

The agreement was signed by Batelco Chief Global Business Officer Adel Al-Daylami and Tata Communications’ Senior Vice President for Middle East, Central Asia and Africa Radwan Moussalli, on the side-lines of International Telecoms Week (ITW) which took place in Chicago, USA. 

Batelco Bahrain CEO Muna Al Hashemi said, “Our global expansion strategy is designed to strengthen our global portfolio of services by ensuring the provision of reliable solutions both into and from Bahrain,” 

Adel Al-Daylami said, “The new agreement is also beneficial in supporting Tata Communications’ requirements for reliable connectivity in the Middle East region as part of the company’s IZO Internet WAN service.” 

Tata Communications’ IZO Cloud Enablement Platform empowers enterprises to connect and build their cloud, their way – be it private, public or hybrid. It is supported by Tata Communications’ leading global infrastructure. Today, over 25 per cent of the world’s internet routes travel over the company’s network, which is the largest wholly-owned subsea cable network in the world.

The agreement allows Tata communications to extend its data centre footprint in locations like Bahrain, Jordon, among others enabled by Batelco. This allows Tata Communications’ customers to have a one stop, seamless solution for their network, cloud and colocation requirements.
