Oman Data Park (ODP) celebrated its 10th anniversary at Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre with a digital world theme on Tuesday.

The event marking the ODP anniversary celebrations was held under the auspices of Salim bin Nasser al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals.

ODP has been the Sultanate of Oman's prime provider of IT-managed and cloud services, Hosting and Virtual Data Centre services since 2012.

In coinciding with the celebration of the company's tenth anniversary, Oman Data Park signed two agreements; the first agreement is with Omantel, for Omantel disaster recovery centre. The second agreement is a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Schlumberger for collaboration on digital cloud-based solutions.

The inking of these agreements is considered a practical celebration of the ongoing successes of Oman Data Park, which has become a prominent beacon relied upon in various fields of IT technologies, hosting services, and managed services.

In his opening address at the ceremony, Maqbool al Wahaibi, CEO of Oman Data Park, said, 'We are extremely pleased by celebrating our 10th anniversary, which means that we have rooted our amazing professionalism in whatever type of service we are rendering to our customers in public and private sectors, while the anniversary of several years for any entity should be considered as an added value for it in terms of experiences, reputation and professional capability to serve its customers.'

The ten years of Oman Data Park have been marked by many achievements that contributed to pushing forward the digital transformation in the Sultanate of Oman.

ODP also offers the Sultanate of Oman's first Artificial Intelligence ready cloud infrastructure – Nebula AI powered by Nvidia.

Oman Data Park also took the lead in establishing the company's cyber security centre, which is known by the name of (Cyber Security Park) to provide pioneer and effective smart security solutions to reduce cyber attacks. Meanwhile, its unremitting efforts have contributed to providing specialised capabilities to host and store data inside the Sultanate of Oman instead of storing it abroad.

As an added value for its ten-year march, Oman Data Park also played a pioneering role in launching Oracle's Hyper-Scale Cloud Infrastructure Data Centre as the first oracle cloud region in the Sultanate of Oman. The cloud region (OCI) provides a broad range of Cloud Services for all entities in the public and private sectors, across the Sultanate of Oman, through ODP-certified Tier III Data Centres.

Al Wahaibi explained that in the past ten years, ODP had witnessed subtle development for the company, where it achieved massive booms in all its services provided to its entire customers, while ODP operates Oman's only Virtual Data Centre – Nebula and is the first MSSP to offer Microsoft Azure Stack services. It is the only provider that has a specialised cyber security centre named Cyber Security Park, which is run by highly qualified Omani staff offering security operations and services around the clock.
