Commvault considers
expansion in 2018
Commvault, a global leader in enterprise backup, recovery,
archive and the cloud, is planning to expand in Qatar next
year. Christian Laing, Vice President Sales, EMEA, Commvault,
said: “We are right now planning to work on a plan to open
an office in Qatar maybe next year. We don’t have an office
there today but we are observing other countries like Qatar
and in Africa.”
“I am very close to the region and there is huge potential there.
“We believe in investing for the long term. We are not going to
cut and run as some other companies have done. We see the
potential and we want to stick with it and grow that region.”
Mark Jow, EMEA Vice President Technical Services,
Commvault, said: “We have been successful in winning some
very large strategic customers in the region. It’s a big area of
investment for us and we recognise the sensitivities around
Qatar currently which is why we are looking to base more
staff there rather than facing the indirect travel route to
support our customers.
Es’hailSat to deliver Inmarsat
L-band services in Qatar
The landmark partnership is the first of
its kind in Qatar, which consolidates all
L-band service requirements for the country
through Es’hailSat. The agreement is
part of Es’hailSat’s planned expansion,
designed to provide customers with access
to the most flexible and reliable satellite
connectivity services in the region.
The addition of Inmarsat’s L-band service
to Es’hailSat’s portfolio means that
however remote the location or harsh the
climatic conditions, customers will always
stay connected.
Es’hailSat has announced a new partnership with Inmarsat,
which will see the Qatar-based communications satellite
operator complement its existing portfolio of fixed Ku and Ka-
band services with Inmarsat’s award winning L-band service.

Paul Gudonis, President of Inmarsat
Enterprise, said: “Es’hailSat has developed
deep expertise around satellite and
connectivity services since it was
established in 2010, which makes them the
ideal choice for our first formal distribution
partner in Qatar. Having a direct partner
on the ground will make it even easier for enterprise
organisations and other communications service providers to
access our industry-leading satellite connectivity services but
with the added benefit of a more localised support offering.”
