PROJECT FOCUS
MIDDLE EAST
IBM Services has announced two IBM Data
Centres in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), one
in Abu Dhabi and the other in Dubai, to provide cloud
managed services to enterprises and help accelerate
their journey to hybrid cloud. IBM Services is the services
and consultancy arm of IBM.
The local data centres will help organisations shift to
a hybrid cloud model, and benefit from having the
flexibility to move select critical workloads to a
secure local cloud environment, hosted in the UAE
while keeping mission critical
data on-premise.
AFRICA
Teraco has announced that VMware Cloud is now
available via VMware Cloud Verified service providers
in the Cape Town (CT1) and Johannesburg (JB1)
data centre facilities.
VMware Cloud provides a fast and easy way to migrate
existing enterprise application workloads to the cloud and
the VMware Cloud Verified logo will mean the full set of
capabilities of VMware’s Cloud Infrastructure can be
easily accessed.
