Jaleel Holdings adopts managed cloud services for best-in-class availability

UAE-based investment company Jaleel Holdings is implementing managed cloud services with BIOS, a cloud service provider in the UAE.

Jaleel Holdings has interests in multiple sectors, especially fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). Headquartered in Dubai, Jaleel Holdings owns Jaleel Cash & Carry, the largest FMCG wholesaler in the UAE, Jaleel Distribution and J Mart supermarkets. Jaleel Holdings has also interests in the education and industrial solutions sectors.

As part of its growth strategy, Jaleel Holdings will connect several sites across the UAE to CloudHPT in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The company runs 24x7 operations across a wide range of industries, and works with very large number of transactions each day, so
full-time infrastructure and application availability is critical.

"BIOS is proud to execute the latest technology innovations in the cloud service sector and provide Jaleel Holdings with a reliable and constantly developing service that will help them grow across the UAE markets," says Dominic Docherty, Chairman at BIOS.

CloudHPT is the first and only Cisco-powered cloud in the UAE which utilises Cisco UCS technology. Built on high-performance technology (HPT), CloudHPT uses VMware and Cisco's application-centric infrastructure to deliver an advanced cloud platform in the Middle East.

The locally-based servers of CloudHPT allow BIOS to provide around-the-clock monitoring, analysis, service management and offer complete availability of hosted applications.

The total availability protection suite service (TAPS) by BIOS provides production hosting in Dubai with disaster recovery services to Abu Dhabi while protecting the business continuity of the holding. Part of the agreement between BIOS and Jaleel holdings includes the hosting of SAP HANA, Nav, iRetail, and other critical business applications.

A newly-developed database as a service (DBaaS) will be a leading factor for the successful cloud service operations of the UAE cloud provider. DBaaS provides BIOS with the required technical resources to support various types of databases and provide fully managed infrastructure and application layer services.

"We're looking forward to growing profitability and reaching peak performance with the help of the managed cloud services by BIOS. We believe cloud services are the future of IT-driven businesses and we're excited to implement the innovations of cloud computing into our daily operations to guarantee consistency in growth across multiple markets," says Sameer K. Mohamed, MD at Jaleel Holdings.

"Many organisations are holding back on cloud computing citing security reasons, higher operational cost and local regulatory requirements. But cloud has emerged to solve these challenges, offering companies a more agile infrastructure that enables them to address ever-evolving regulatory requirements, while addressing sophisticated threats with specialised security expertise relentlessly tracking on the threat groups around the world. With a strong team of BIOS, I'm sure my team can now focus on innovative ways to reach and work closely with our customers, onboard them across multiple channels, understand and help them - all in a more secure way," added Venu Gomathy, Head of IT at Jaleel Holdings.
