Bangkok Airways and Cisco Transform the Airline Industry in Thailand

BANGKOK, THAILAND--(Marketwired - Mar 2, 2015) - Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO)

Bangkok Airways, Thailand's privately owned regional airline has implemented Cisco® technology and solutions to help them optimize their business.

Cisco Unified Computing System™ (UCS) is a groundbreaking approach to computing, designed for IT innovation and business acceleration. Using this platform, Bangkok Airways has been able to deliver real time business analytics for efficient decision making, remain cost effective and agile in their business processes, and optimize their function by replacing silos of home-grown business process applications with integrated solutions that enhance their services with real-time notifications.

Cisco UCS has provided Bangkok Airways with the means to initiate 'Ground Operation Applications' to keep real- time records for all services utilized by each flight. The airline crews can analyze large volumes of data in real time, resulting in faster insights for the company's executives. The Cisco solution has also helped Bangkok Airways create an 'Internal Mobile Application' which serves the customer service department. They use the application to facilitate immediate customer compensations where needed and therefore are able to accelerate business functions and performance, reduce and replace paper-based process, and effectively appraise work performance on a daily basis.

Cisco UCS provides a new model for data center efficiency and agility, and has been designed with the performance and reliability to power memory-intensive, mission-critical applications and virtualized workloads. With this distinctive implementation powered by Cisco UCS, Bangkok Airways has a comprehensive, differentiated, scalable and highly secure solution that accelerates their applications' performance, increases server agility, and reduces deployment risks, server provisioning time and total cost of ownership.

Cisco UCS platform offers hardware-state abstraction that transparently integrates server, storage, and networking resources used for any application whether virtualized or non-virtualized, thus helping to eliminate the waste that can be caused by dedicating pools of resources to a specific purpose. Six years after entering the server market in 2009, more than 30,000 Cisco UCS customers, the future is already here, and the benefits are happening now.
