Equinix, a global interconnection and data centre company, has announced its participation at this year’s GITEX Technology Week to demonstrate how it can empower businesses in the Middle East in their Digital Transformation journeys, enabling interconnection of these businesses to networks, cloud service providers and digital supply chains.
Jeroen Schlosser, Managing Director, Equinix MENA
Jeroen Schlosser, Managing Director, Equinix MENA said “For Middle East organisations to unlock the full potential of applications such as cloud, Blockchain, AI and robotics, businesses will need a highly advanced IT infrastructure and mature digital readiness that enable seamless and secure interaction among all nodes. For a successful transformation, companies will need to adopt an interconnection-first architecture that will enable them to de-centralise IT and networking and extend their IT operations through the interconnection of people, things, locations, clouds and data.”
The data centre company will also share how these organisations can use colocation centres to leverage the benefits of Edge Computing and networking both in the region and globally.
As the technology industry continues to expand at a rapid pace, modern businesses see digital technologies that need to be seamlessly integrated with legacy IT infrastructures to optimise business processes, agility and scale.
“Having private connections can help businesses eliminate throughput delays and security risks inherent in Internet connections, perfectly complementing the key attributes of these applications,” said Schlosser.
Equinix has been instrumental in helping companies shift to a digital-ready IT infrastructure by providing direct and secure, private interconnection on our global vendor-neutral platform.
Today, MENA companies are already using Platform Equinix to access clouds and many are using a hybrid cloud strategy with a combination of public, private and on-premises capabilities.
Equinix will be available in Hall 6, Stand H6-3 at GITEX Technology Week at DWTC.
