Dubai Internet City, the region\u2019s largest hub for technology companies and talent, has announced a deal with Khazna Data Centers, one of the largest wholesale data centre providers in the Middle East and North Africa, to establish two state-of-the-art facilities to further support enterprises of all sizes by enabling the integration of technology across all business functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government\u2019s ambition of transforming the UAE into a smart country necessitates the deployment of secure cloud infrastructure and data storage across all industries, from government and residential services to healthcare and manufacturing. Combined with many businesses adopting hybrid work models on the heels of the global pandemic, the volume of digital data has increased significantly in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
National strategies that encourage the development and deployment of IoT, AI and cloud computing are also increasing the demand for reliable storage. The growing reliance on the internet has elevated data security to a global priority, especially in relation to sensitive data generated by the healthcare and financial sectors. Wholesale storage providers such as Khaznawill play a critical role in catering to the recording, movement and security of increasingly large amounts of information. As digital adoption sweeps through the greater MENA region, the opening of data privacy and storage centres can enhance business activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ammar Al Malik, Managing Director of Dubai Internet City said, \u201cThe UAE has been named among the top ten most competitive economies in the world for a second consecutive year, according to the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2021, and I believe that building data centres and enhancing the overall technological infrastructure play a key role in providing an investment friendly environment,\u201d added Al Malik. \u201cDubai Internet City has been a cornerstone of the UAE\u2019s ICT strategy for more than two decades, and this agreement marks the next chapter in our commitment to supporting widespread digital transformation to increase our economic competitiveness globally well into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are direct parallels between Dubai\u2019s increasingly advanced digital infrastructure and its growing economic competitiveness. The announcement of these data centres marks a new milestone for the UAE as it boosts digital adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hassan Al Naqbi, CEO of Khazna Data Centres, said, \u201cThe partnership between Khazna and Dubai Internet City will further support the UAE\u2019s digital ecosystem, with technology businesses such as cloud computing operators able to achieve the level of connectivity they need to more effectively deliver services to partners, customers and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our aim is to continue partnering alongside industry leaders and decision-makers, offering a dedicated data centre space that supports long-term growth strategies for businesses across various industries. From organizations and government entities to hyperscalers, we help our customers meet the demands found in today\u2019s competitive and transforming environment through our unique product portfolio and turnkey solutions, supreme energy efficiency, and flexible pricing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two new data centres will be strategically located in Dubai and will feature the unique design of Khazna\u2019s data centre pods allow for the rapid scaling of operations when required, which offers partners long-term growth benefits, while businesses involved in 5G, smart city projects and cloud computing can also leverage Khazna\u2019s technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Khazna Data Centers will operate a total of fourteen data centers combined, creating the UAE\u2019s largest data center provider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
