MIDDLE EAST
The Middle East Data centre market is likely to
grow at a CAGR of around 7% during the period
2018 to 2024. The Middle East Data Center Market -
Investment Analysis and Growth Opportunities 2019-
2024 report considers the present scenario of the data
centre construction market in Middle East and its market
dynamics for the forecast period 2019 to 2024. Among the
findings, the report shows the participation of government
and individual agencies has accelerated the digitisation
trend in the Middle East. Increasing operational business
requirements are prompting enterprises to migrate
from server room operations to data centre
services such as managed services, colocation
and hybrid infrastructure services.
AFRICA
Experts at the 2019 ‘Africa Panel
Session’ of the International Telecoms Week
(ITW) discussed the importance of infrastructure
investments in local Internet exchanges and
terrestrial networks as being instrumental to facilitating
the development and growth of Africa’s digital economy.
Presenting on the theme ‘Enabling Africa’s Digital Economy’,
Principal Analyst at TeleGeography, Patrick Christian, evaluated
the African digital economy, noting that the study of global
trends show Africa maintaining its position as the fastest
growing region in Internet usage though data volumes remain
shockingly lower than other parts of the world. The 2019
Africa Panel session at ITW, co-sponsored by MainOne,
provides a platform for key global players to
share perspectives on the opportunities and
challenges of telecoms development on
the African continent.
