Ooredoo has entered a strategic partnership with Qatar Airways, and Fortinet, a global provider in cybersecurity, to implement a hybrid multi-cloud environment to strengthen and fortify its position in an increasingly digital world.
The collaboration will entail Ooredoo working with Qatar Airways on designing and developing a state-of-the-art hybrid multi-cloud environment, which will combine the technological and commercial benefits of public cloud infrastructure with the security and agility of private ones, offering the company a competitive advantage in enhancing customers’ experiences and cost efficiency.
