Annapolis—ARINC today announced that it has been awarded a new contract for vMUSE™ Enterprise at Kazan (KZN) Airport, a rapidly growing regional airport located in Tatarstan, Russia.

Under the contract, ARINC will work with Integris, an IT services company that provides services to several Russian airports, to deliver a fully-managed vMUSE Enterprise solution to Kazan Airport at the airports recently built Terminal 1A. The initial system will consist of approximately 40 workstations.

vMUSE Enterprise is the only truly cloud-based common-use check-in platform in the industry. Moving software functions that were formerly on the airport user's workstation into ‘virtual machines’ and the high resilience of the ARINC data centre provides a secure solution for mission-critical applications. Airports that use vMUSE Enterprise significantly reduce operating costs by eliminating the need for on-site server hardware and core rooms, and their on-going maintenance. Other benefits include lower energy consumption, less space requirements, increased flexibility to increase or decrease the number of workstations as required, and a significantly reduced roll-out time.

"vMUSE Enterprise delivers the same performance as systems running on on-site core servers —high security, reliability, and manageability—but at a much lower cost," said Paul Hickox, ARINC International Operations Director . "We are excited that ARINC’s cloud-based architecture means that airports like Kazan can now benefit from common use check-in platforms that previously were only available to large airports."
