A government department in Jordan has completed its migration to Nutanix enterprise cloud software with the result that it can now manage all of its infrastructure, including storage, network and virtual machines, from a single location.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutanix, a leader in enterprise cloud software, has\nannounced that Jordan\u2019s Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship\n(MoDEE) has successfully completed its migration to Nutanix enterprise cloud\nsoftware as part of its on-going efforts to accelerate Digital Transformation\nacross the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MoDEE\u2019s mandate is to deliver and maintain the\nGovernment of Jordan\u2019s Digital Transformation apparatus for all the country\u2019s\npublic entities, facilitating the delivery of end-user services to citizens and\nbusinesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many countries in the Middle East, Jordan is making strides in digital technology usage as a means to invigorate the economy, promote entrepreneurship and innovation and create jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan has long set a pace for regional peers to\nfollow, as it has established best practices for digital migration and enhanced\nits e-government services by leveraging emerging technologies such as cloud\ncomputing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don’t like to call it e-government anymore; it’s a\nDigital Transformation for Jordan, where we move to a digital economy – where\nwe allow each and every service to be provided digitally and paid for digitally,\u201d\nsaid HE Mothanna Gharaibeh, Jordan\u2019s Minister of Digital Economy and\nEntrepreneurship. \u201cAnd this cannot happen without having everything on the\ncloud – quick and efficient. So Nutanix has indeed been a good partner in\nhelping us to deliver this mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MoDEE is also responsible for hosting ICT services for\nall of Jordan\u2019s government entities. Previously, the ministry used a\nmanaged-service model to deliver ICT facilities from its own data centre,\nthrough its own servers and storage devices. However, in trying to support a\nnation with economic growth ambitions rooted in digital prowess, MoDEE found\nthe legacy setup limiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had problems with updates, upgrades and\nexpansions,\u201d said Abdallah Al-Farrayih, MoDEE\u2019s Operations Manager. \u201cAfter moving to the Nutanix Cloud, we could manage all of our\ninfrastructure from a single location \u2013 storage, network, virtual\nmachines, everything from a single dashboard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MoDEE\u2019s new control comes from Nutanix\u2019s one-click\ninfrastructure management console Prism that allows admins to seamlessly and\neasily monitor all virtual environments running on AOS. The dashboard is designed to simplify and streamline common\nworkflows and to make hypervisor and VM management as easy as checking\nemail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Nutanix, we can easily integrate with many\nplatforms,\u201d Al-Farrayih added. \u201cAnd we can use the built-in features in Nutanix\nrelated to security and backup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nutanix enterprise cloud software has also helped\nMoDEE increase capacity for handling large volumes of digital traffic, thereby\nstreamlining services across e-government branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe relationship between MoDEE and Nutanix is\nstrategic because our private cloud serves critical workloads and applications\nfor government entities,\u201d said Yosef Khamees, Senior Systems Engineer, MoDEE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nutanix enterprise cloud software will form the\nfoundation of future expansions, Khamees explained, adding that a planned\ncentralisation of applications and e-services was in the works for MoDEE\u2019s\nprivate cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe started with Nutanix on a small number of boxes,\nbut now we have greatly increased our capacity,\u201d he said. \u201cOur lives are made\nmuch easier, because one application, one system can be configured to serve\nmany entities and users.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After migrating to Nutanix enterprise cloud\nsoftware the ministry noticed an appreciable difference in performance and\ncapacity. One government agency that was able to handle approximately\n1,000 concurrent users on the legacy infrastructure can now accommodate\napproximately 3,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNutanix started working with us two years ago and now\nwe’re putting all our servers on the cloud, meaning we are centralising\neverything that we have,\u201d said Gharaibeh. \u201cNo governmental entity will be\nallowed to have their own service. They will always go to the cloud and Nutanix\nis one of our most successful partners so far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, I would like to thank them for the great work\nthey’re doing in Jordan and for supporting us in transforming Jordan\ntremendously, so quickly and so efficiently. I look forward to having more\nNutanix investments in Jordan, as we are ideally placed to serve the entire\nMiddle East. Other companies have done it and seen the value; so yes, I would\nvery much appreciate having more investment from Nutanix in Jordan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutanix is a global leader in cloud software and\nhyperconverged infrastructure solutions, making infrastructure invisible so\nthat IT can focus on the applications and services that power their business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies around the world use Nutanix Enterprise\nCloud OS software to bring one-click application management and mobility across\npublic, private and distributed Edge clouds so they can run any application at\nany scale with a dramatically lower total cost of ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is organisations can rapidly deliver a\nhigh-performance IT environment on demand, giving application owners a true\ncloud-like experience. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
