Integrated System PRIMEFLEX VMware vShape improves system reliability and up-time at Nakilat

Customer

Nakilat is a Qatari-owned shipping and maritime company providing a critical transportation link in the State of Qatar’s Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) supply chain. Its LNG shipping fleet is the largest in the world, comprising of 63 LNG vessels.

Challenge

As Nakilat expands its role in ship management through a strategic phased vessel transition, it inherits vessels with primitive IT infrastructures, systems and technology. This requires significant digital transformation of these large, complex LNG vessels to guarantee peak performance during operations.

Solution

Having successfully partnered with Fujitsu to deploy FUJITSU Integrated System PRIMEFLEX® for SAP HANA® in its data centers in 2015, Nakilat chose its pre-configured, plug-and-play PRIMEFLEX vShape solution to provide a robust, virtual on-board environment to modernize its fleet for better connectivity and performance.

Benefit

High availability and redundancy eliminates single point of failures, thus resulting in improved operational excellence and reduced support calls and response time
Substantial cost reduction by optimizing manpower requirement and improving efficiency"
