Etihad Etisalat (Mobily), the leading telecom operator in Saudi Arabia, recently launched its Mobily Cloud Advisory Service, which uses a unique approach to capture client’s IT infrastructure footprint, inventory and performance data.

This powerful tool gathers computing metrics and provides a business and process-oriented questionnaire in order to deliver a holistic report on the customer’s IT infrastructure.

This process runs for almost four weeks, considering peak and non-peak usage intervals. These services will help organisations move mission-critical, production and web-scale applications to the cloud and also help with critical decisions that are required for formulating IT strategy.
