Cairo – Mubasher: Telecom Egypt announced its collaboration with IBM and Red Hat in developing an open, hybrid cloud strategy that will modernise operations and accelerate the digital transformation journey.
The telecom operator “will adopt IBM Cloud Pak for Automation built on Red Hat OpenShift, to become more efficient, flexible and future-ready to support core operations and enable new digital services,” according to a statement on Tuesday.
IBM Cloud Pak for Automation will help the company upgrade its network operations to deliver faster and more secure services to its clients.
Telecom Egypt also asked IBM and its partner ecosystem to create the first data centre with access to all the global submarine cable systems that land in Egypt.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has led organisations to rethink their business processes, and we have, therefore, chosen IBM Cloud Pak for Automation to develop our network performance and provide our customers with reliable services throughout this period in which the demand for telecom networks has doubled,” Adel Hamed, Telecom Egypt’s Managing Director and CEO, said.
