MEEZA & Commvault have expanded their partnership to accelerate the cloud-first agenda as Qatar prepares for the transformation of its IT sector.
Together, Commvault and MEEZA are advancing Qatar’s aim to become a smarter digital nation and support the Vision 2030 sustainable economic agenda. Qatar is promoting digital investments in order to develop a knowledge-based economy, with technology heavyweights such as Cisco, HPE, and Microsoft increasing their cloud service services to Qatar.
MEEZA, a Qatar Foundation joint venture, intends to accelerate the country’s and region’s adoption of cloud computing by providing world-class managed IT services and solutions. To that end, as part of MEEZA’s increasing Cloud portfolio, our partnership has launched a live cloud service called Backup-as-a-Service, which is now available to all of our clients. MEEZA’s services include Managed IT, Data Center Services, Cloud Services, and IT Security Services, as well as Smart City Solutions expertise. MEEZA’s IT team chose Commvault to provide enhanced, flexible data protection as part of an endeavor to digitally modernize the business.
Faisal Al Kuwari, MEEZA CTO said, “Our partnership with Commvault aims to bring the best IT and Intelligent Data Services to our operations. Businesses in Qatar and the region can expect to benefit from these solutions that will channel greater opportunities, power agility and scalability, and with enhanced service levels. We are pleased to have Commvault on board as our partner to take MEEZA’s mission further.”
Nader Kassir, Country Manager, Gulf & Levant at Commvault, added: “Commvault has been working closely with organizations in Qatar since 2015. We have established strategic partnerships with government sporting entities, large news network providers, and numerous other businesses in the country. We are proud to be working with MEEZA, which implements Commvault’s core tailored backup as a service offering, a platform to scale MEEZA’s software and storage premium services as the organization continues to expand.”
As more Microsoft Azure cloud data centers open in Qatar in 2022, Commvault is preparing to expand its enterprise-grade SaaS data management offerings in Qatar with the introduction of MetallicTM, an award-winning backup-as-a-service offering for SaaS and Microsoft applications like Office 365, Dynamics, and many others, giving customers a further layer of protection in their data.
