Desktop-as-a-Service Solution Secures Business
Continuity for Expanded Remote Workforce
Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in private cloud, hybrid and
multicloud computing, announced today that Airport International
Group has implemented the Nutanix Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS)
solution, Xi Frame, to maintain business continuity throughout the
COVID-19 pandemic. Using DaaS, Airport International Group created
a virtual control room for the operations team, provided key
employees with immediate secure remote access to mission-critical
airport systems and even set up a virtual training room for their
new Airport Management System (AMS).
Appointed in 2007 to manage the rehabilitation, expansion and
operation of Jordan’s Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA),
Airport International Group currently employs over 440
professionals and leverages the latest technologies to ensure that
the 50 airlines and over 8.9 million annual passengers (as per 2019
figures) reliant on the airport are assured world-class
experiences. With COVID-19 necessitating the move to remote
working, Airport International Group’s IT team sought
around-the-clock access to key services. As an existing Nutanix
customer, the company was quick to identify Xi Frame as the optimal
solution for their needs. Frame enabled Airport International Group
to set up a virtual control room, giving operations staff highly
secure remote access to the AMS and other critical systems,
including the Airport Operations Database and Resource Management
System (RMS).
“Unlike organizations that found themselves scrambling to deploy
completely new apps to support remote workers, with Nutanix Xi
Frame, we could offer employees continued access to the
applications they were familiar with,” said Mr. Waseem Al Rousan,
IT Director at Airport International Group. “Moreover, rather than
having to deal with the costs, complexities and inevitable slew of
helpdesk requests associated with corporate VPNs, we could offer
our remote workers convenient, secure and immediate access to the
tools and applications they needed.”
Airport International Group was in the middle of a
mission-critical migration of its AMS - controlling everything from
the gates and immigration services to check-in counters - while
simultaneously implementing Frame, which allowed them to benefit
from Nutanix solutions in ways they had not foreseen. User
acceptance and training programs were at risk with the new lockdown
measures in place but, using Xi Frame, the Airport International
Group team was able to set up a fully-equipped virtual training lab
in just a few hours.
“Airport International Group, like many organizations across the
globe, had to deal with the reality of allowing employees to work
remotely while still maintaining access to the tools and
applications required to be productive,” said Aaron White, Regional
Sales Director Middle East at Nutanix. “With Xi Frame, we have
equipped Airport International Group with an automated, fully
managed, cloud-hosted service that simplifies continuous
integration and delivery of that digital workspace.”
Feedback from users has been very positive, and the Airport
International Group team is looking to build on the initial
success. They are exploring further uses for DaaS, including
enhanced Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) access and robust ways to
respond to unplanned business requirements.
