Midis Group runs #ChooseToChallenge photo event for International Women’s Day on March 8
To show support for International Women’s Day, Midis Group ran a #ChooseToChallenge photo campaign across as many affiliates and Group offices as possible asking for willing volunteers to participate.

“We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias inequality.
We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements.
Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.
Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day.
From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge.”

Midis Group donates 88 Oxygen Concentrators to Red Cross to help COVID-19 patients breathe
Midis Group has donated 88 Oxygen Concentrators to the Red Cross in Beirut. One hour after the delivery, a quarter of the machines, which help chronically-ill patients breathe, were already being used in ERs in the city.
“It was a natural step for Midis Group to be in the front line, fighting COVID-19, and we will continue to do so for as long as it will take to beat the pandemic,” said Daniel Pharaon from Midis Group.

According to the World Health Organization, provision of oxygen to support the breathing of COVID-19 patients in difficulty has become a worldwide problem, with shortages of bottled gas in many countries. Oxygen concentrators tackle this problem; they are small, portable units that generate a continuous oxygen supply from the air all around us.
“It has been estimated that around one in five people with COVID-19 suffers respiratory distress sufficient to require oxygen therapy,” said Dr Priyanka Relan, a COVID-19 clinical management expert in a recent WHA blog. “Without that therapy, COVID-19 can be fatal.”
As a leading international business headquartered in Beirut, Midis Group were approached to help with Oxygen Generator supply and the Group were pleased to respond positively – and quickly.
The donation was part of the organization’s way of contributing to Lebanon’s COVID-19 response and mitigating its impact on the health system. On arrival, the oxygen concentrators were quickly distributed to multiple individuals as there was a long waiting list.
Earlier last year, after the tragedy of August 4, Midis Group was part of international efforts to support the rebuilding of the city, as part of the Together for Beirut initiative.

JBS, Panduit and Trident partner to deliver major Network Data Center solutions for Orange Jordan
Jordan Business Systems (JBS), Panduit and Trident Technology Services have worked together to successfully deliver major IT Infrastructure and Network Data Center solutions for Orange Jordan. The company commissioned the partnership to build two state-of-the-art data centers located in the capital, Amman.
The Marj Al Hamam data center was a new build and the former AI Hussein Medical Center was renovated and became the second site. The refurbished building included an ITN infrastructure and a space for co-location businesses. Now completed, the new hosting facilities have become the biggest and most advanced in Jordan, working 24/7 with no downtime.
Both data centers connect to the Orange Jordan MPLS network and the global internet via fully diverse and protected links to ensure robust availability and scalability to meet growing business needs. To optimize the Marj Al Hamam data center, Orange Jordan were clear they had to reduce power consumption from cooling operations and to cap operational expenses. Further requirements included high levels of security and reliable physical infrastructure management.
Considering the business aspects of co-location spaces, it was important to have the ability to monitor and control power consumption per rack, as well as facilities for invoicing and reporting back those capabilities and costs per customer. The new data centers also had to be deployed quickly to ensure there was no break in service for current customers.
Quoted in a Case Study about the project, Mr. Bahjat Al Adwan, Data Centers and Environment Engineering Manager, Orange Jordan, said, “Our ultimate goal was to achieve a solid power and cooling strategy, and to prioritize analytics and reporting while optimizing space utilization, capacity management, and automation.”
To deliver the project, Orange Jordan used the Panduit IT Infrastructure and Network Data Center Solution. In addition to Panduit’s knowledge and expertise, JBS was the system integrator and distributor for the project. JBS executed the design and deployment promptly, making it simple, consistent, organized, and secure.
Trident Technology Services, the exclusive Sales and Marketing Representative of Panduit in the Middle East and Africa, also participated in the project. As the exclusive local representative for Panduit, Trident supports growing sales opportunities in Panduit’s key market sectors of data center, enterprise, industrial automation, and electrical.
Nazim Assasfeh, Deputy General Manager, Jordan Business Systems welcomed the successful project outcome. “We at JBS are proud that we met the expectations of our valued customer, Orange Telecom Jordan, and that we were part of this great team who achieved this great success, where real business values were accomplished, efficiency of resources utilized, and for being the first DC certified Tier III facility in the region,” said Nazim Assasfeh.
“Working with Panduit, Trident, and JBS was a fabulous experience. The alignment between communication, computing, control, power, and security led to an agile physical infrastructure that minimizes risk, increases flexibility, and delivers maximum performance throughout our business,” said Bahjat Al Adwan from Orange Jordan in the Case Study.
According to the Case Study, Panduit, Trident, and JBS collectively demonstrated the strength of the partner ecosystem. From design to project management to installation, the partners came together to provide Orange Jordan with the solution it required within a tight timeframe. Each partner played a significant role that allowed the overall project to flow seamlessly and to the complete satisfaction of the customer.
