What type of services do you offer
at your centre/centres?
How many data centres do you have
in the UAE; and do you have plans to
open more in the coming years?
eHosting DataFort (eHDF) owns and
operates multiple Tier 3 data centres in
the UAE. Our data centres are some of the
most technologically advanced Tier 3 data
centres in the region.
Last year, we invested more than AED 20
million on infrastructure upgrades on our
Tier 3 data centres in Dubai Internet City.
The upgrades were intended to ensure
that while eHDF is the most experienced
and mature data centre operator in the
region with an unparalleled track record of
uptime and availability, its infrastructure is
constantly modernised to take advantage
of technology developments.
To combat security challenges, we
launched our Cyber Defense Centre
(CDC)/ Security Operations Centre
(SOC) in the UAE in 2017, which offers
customers a portfolio of Managed
Security Services along with Remote
Managed SIEM Services.
These services can be delivered either
within our own data centres, on premise
at the customer’s site or in the cloud.
