Dubai Internet City and Khazna Data Centers announce two state-of-the-art data storage facilities in Dubai

January 04, 2022, Dubai, UAE–Dubai Internet City, the region’s 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.

The government’s 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. 

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 Khazna will 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.
