Muhammad Umair, Head of IT – Pak Qatar Takaful Group, commenting on the partnership with Oracle said,
“We needed a reliable and highly available disaster recovery solution with real-time replication and immediate accessibility, but the cost of traditional DR was too high. Setting up our DR on Oracle Cloud made sense as it is a cost effective and technically viable option.
Pak Qatar has already implemented most of its mission critical business applications on Oracle’s technology platform. In this particular case we have already done a successful DR drill and we are confident that in case of any mishap, our business will not get impacted.”
Pak Qatar Takaful Group Limited is using Oracle Cloud Platform services, including Oracle Database Cloud and Oracle Java Cloud, as well as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to support its disaster recovery solution. Oracle Cloud offers a great alternative for hosting standby databases and applications for businesses who do not have a DR site or who prefer not to deal with the cost or complexity of managing a remote data center. Existing production databases and applications remain within the customer’s data center, with standby databases and applications used for DR in the Oracle Cloud. Disaster Recovery on the Oracle Cloud eliminates the costs and complexity of owning and managing a remote facility as well as the capital expense of standby systems and software.
