Case study on BNET’s application of AWS cloud solutions

Shedding light on the Kingdom of Bahrain's National Broadband Network (BNET) successful cloud adoption, a case study was recently published by Amazon Web Services (AWS)  that follows BNET's journey as it prepared to separate its digital and data infrastructure from its parent company Batelco by migrating business-critical and historical data into new applications within a new information technology environment.



In 2019 and shortly after its launch, BNET selected Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its cloud service provider to leverage cloud technology because of the speed, time-to-market, cost optimization, flexibility, scalability, and agility benefits. This partnership resulted in meeting the main IT infrastructure requirements for BNET's separation from Batelco within a year.



BNET also had to meet compliance standards with security and data privacy regulations mandated by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of the Kingdom of Bahrain. "We had milestones to reach, including individual deadlines for access control separation, platform separation, and physical separation from Batelco,“ said BNET Chief Executive Officer Mohamed Bubashait.
