Bahrain Airport Company (BAC), the operator and managing body of Bahrain International Airport (BIA), inaugurated a next-generation Containerised Data Centre (CDC), a portable and inherently scalable facility to host critical airport information systems that can be placed in any location where data capacity is needed. The CDC, one of Bahrain’s first, was designed, supplied, and implemented by Gulf Business Machines (GBM), a leading regional provider of IT solutions, and is part of the Airport Modernisation Programme (AMP) currently underway at BIA. It offers several advantages over traditional data centers, including flexibility and speed, as it comes complete with network connections, storage, servers, power lines, monitoring units, fire detection units, software, security, a cooling facility and everything else typically found in a modern data center. It also has the additional benefit of being portable, which allows branches or remote locations to receive additional capacity by redeploying it where necessary.
