The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has launched a new data center, a result of an 18-month effort to transform the bank's infrastructure, with support from the Central Bank of Bahrain. The data center is Tier III design certified by Uptime Institute and located on the 6th floor of NBB's headquarters in Manama, Bahrain.
NBB Group chief executive Usman Ahmed said: “The new data center represents NBB’s continued investment in infrastructure that delivers long-term resilience. Delivering a transformation of this scale required synchronised execution from teams working across multiple phases to ensure a smooth transition. Every aspect of this major project was guided by a commitment to providing a frictionless and stable experience for customers. We are incredibly proud of what the NBB team and its partners have built together.”
According to NBB, the data center will help NBB to meet its ESG goals and has "energy optimized technology" embedded directly into its core infrastructure, though it does not offer any details.
