Challenges
Uninterrupted application availability: Wasl aimed to shift its Disaster Recovery (DR) setup from on-premise to the cloud, but faced significant hurdles.
Insufficient network redundancy: Existing IP transit providers lacked the global redundancy and failover capabilities necessary to support Flydubai’s real-time, latency-sensitive applications.
Risk of service outage: To mitigate the risk of internet outages, Flydubai needed highly available, diverse, and high-capacity bandwidth that could seamlessly take over during failures.
Limited peering relationships: Poor peering with major cloud and content networks resulted in suboptimal performance and reliability, affecting Flydubai’s ability to deliver seamless digital services.
