Oman Data Park Set To Reap Benefits From Oil Price Slide

MUSCAT, Oman - Aug. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Muscat, Oman - Oman Data Park (ODP) expects to benefit from the environment of the industry and oil companies slashing costs in the wake of oil price decline.

ODP has a spectacular 60 per cent market share in the banking industry, while it expects to be able to multiply its current client-base in oil and gas industry from four to much more in this ensuing change of economic environment. It’s reported that three more clients from oil and gas industry are coming on board of its IT services.

When asked why oil and gas companies would look to their services, it has been said that corporates and government institutions should opt for their services rather than making large investment in building their own fully-fledged data centres and IT departments. This would save their investment and reduce their management migraine equally.

“We are noticing a change of attitude among companies and more of them are eager to switch over to ODP for its services,” said Park general manager Maqboul Salim Al Wahaiby. At present, Oman Data Park has around 200 clients and it expects to add more 50 by the end of this year.

Businesses in the Sultanate of Oman are beginning to realize that it is economical to use ODP’s Data Centre and IT Services rather than set up a fully-fledged IT department. Al Wahaiby explained it by saying that this would cut down their operational expenses dramatically while ensure quality of services.

ODP, an ISO27001:2013 Certified Data Centre, is a popular joint venture between Omantel and leading data centre firm 4Trust. The services it offers include co-location, managed hosting, cloud services, hosted applications and managed services. For industries like oil and gas and banking, quality is crucial and therefore ODP which is of a tier-3 standard has been a centre of choice.

Corporations can make use of ODP Data Centre and its IT Services by co-locating and purchasing managed services and cloud services. They can also be having local facility which they can easily visit and interact with its staff. ODP provides these services at rates which data parks in Europe and US usually charge.

Located at the Knowledge Oasis Muscat, ODP has another data park that replicates this one, in Wattayah securely located on top of a hill. “ODP is still working on plans to set up another facility outside Muscat,” said Al Wahaiby.
