"AIDA's approach to IT infrastructure prioritizes availability through redundancy, with each vessel operating two physically separated data centers in different fire zones to ensure critical services remain operational."
"The network design includes cabin-specific access points, essentially one per cabin, along with corridor access points positioned approximately every 25 meters, ensuring comprehensive coverage."
"Despite operating in salt-air conditions, the hardware replacement cycles match shoreside operations at approximately five years, with major upgrades synchronized with mandatory dry dock schedules."
"The evolution of satellite connectivity, particularly low earth orbit satellites, has been a game-changer for cruise ship IT, transforming operational capabilities."
AIDA Cruises operates a sophisticated IT infrastructure across its 11 vessels, supporting connectivity for approximately 10,000 mobile devices and 300 PC systems. Each ship features two redundant data centers to maintain service availability during emergencies. The network includes cabin-specific access points and ruggedized outdoor access points. AIDA manages around 12,000 Cisco network devices, with hardware replacement cycles aligned with shoreside operations. The advancement of satellite connectivity, especially low earth orbit satellites, has significantly enhanced operational capabilities.
