OUR CLIENTS | sectors

KLM has seen an acute increase in the dependence on ICT. An increasing number of business-critical processes run via the computer. Whether it’s online ticket sales and check-in and the flight and crew planning, or dealing with freight and passenger flows at the airport and financial processes. Two mirrored data centres ensure that all applications are up and running again within four hours, should one of the two centres be hit by a disaster. A vital part of this solution for disaster recovery, named ‘TwinCenter’, is a fibre-rich fibre-optic connection provided by Eurofiber.

“By lighting the optical fibre ourselves, we can deploy lines differently and reduce or increase the capacity if required. In addition, we work with a number of different protocols at KLM. That is another freedom of choice that you have with dark fibre.”

Jurgen Simons, Programme Manager, KLM
