Benefits of Managed Cloud for Airport Passenger Flow
Anyone who has visited an airport in recent months knows that the desire to travel, the joy of travel, has returned in full force. With it, more pressure on operators to improve efficiency and resource allocation within their terminals. That is why more airports globally are looking for a managed cloud service that can support their passenger flow management efforts.
The Benefits of a Managed Cloud Service for Airports
Migration to cloud-native solutions is a well-established trend in many industries. Because of some of the unique regulator and security issues at airports, the move to the cloud is happening at a different pace.
A 2022 ACI Insights survey found that 86% of airports would spend on cloud infrastructures, a priority second only to cybersecurity. A managed cloud service for airport passenger flow management offers many advantages to cost-conscious terminal operators who want to enhance the passenger experience. Some of the most common advantages include:
- Cost savings: Because cloud providers can take advantage of economies of scale and spread the cost of infrastructure across multiple customers, cloud-based solutions are typically more cost effective than traditional on-prem systems;
- Flexibility and scalability: Cloud-based solutions can be easily adapted to meet the changing needs of an airport. For example, if an airport expands to other touchpoints within a terminal, the cloud-based system can be easily scaled up to handle the additional load;
- High availability, reliability, and performance: Cloud-based systems, hosted in secured data centers designed to protect against failures, can quickly capitalize on the latest hardware and software technologies, keeping performance rates high;
- Expert, dedicated, around-the-clock support: A cloud-native solution generally includes expert, dedicated, around-the-clock system support. Not having to worry about maintenance shutdowns and diverting resources to support is one of the primary reasons airport terminal operators are moving away from on-premises solutions;
- Shrinking the carbon footprint: On-premises data centers consume large quantities of energy. The energy demands of a managed cloud service can be a fraction of its on-prem counterpart.
High security standards, complying with regulations and security standards and agility in updating and modifying a passenger flow management solution, which allows airports to quickly adapt to changes in the industry, are also propelling the change.
AERO, the Fully Managed Service From Xovis
Xovis knows all about managing passenger flows in airports. We know the unique challenges airports face, and, because we’ve been in the business for more than a decade, we know that demands change over time. Our experience, expertise and foresight led to the development of AERO, the fully managed cloud-native solution we unveiled earlier this month.
We are a one-stop shop, responsible for designing hardware and software solutions, producing our own award-winning 3D sensors, implementing projects and collaborating with terminal operators to get the most out of their Passenger Flow Management System for years to come. AERO will allow us to do all of those things faster, easier and at a lower cost to terminal operators.
In time, AERO will become the cornerstone of all our efforts in the airport terminal segment. For now, we are relishing the opportunity to discuss and share all the benefits this cloud-native solution can deliver to airports that count on accurate, objective, real-time data to optimize operations.
