“We wanted to improve our network and take advantage of migrating to the Cloud. Orixcom were able to streamline our connections, so we no longer needed two separate networks and their solution allowed us to realise significant cost savings. We were very satisfied with their approach and decided to take advantage of another product, Cloud Connect, to enhance our network upgrades even further.”

Challenges
-
Uninterrupted application availability
Flydubai operates 24/7 and requires continuous uptime for mission-critical airline applications. Any downtime directly impacts operations and customer experience. -
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.
-
Insufficient network redundancy
Existing IP transit providers lacked the global redundancy and failover capabilities necessary to support Flydubai’s real-time, latency-sensitive applications. -
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.
