eHosting DataFort, the region’s leading managed IT and advisory services provider, a subsidiary of TECOM Investments, today announced its participation as sponsors of the 4th annual Data Centre Dynamics Conference and Expo, a key industry event for IT service providers in the region.

Herbert Radlinger, Head of Data Centers, eHosting DataFort, delivered a keynote presentation on ‘Building vs. Leasing Data Centers’ focusing on the benefits and challenges of the industry-wide debate across the region.

Global IT service industry majors such as HP, Injazat, GBM Integrated Technology Services, BCS Data Centre, and a number of government bodies including Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) participated in the prestigious event that was held at Jumeirah Beach Hotel.

Radlinger said: "Over the past few years, we have witnessed tremendous interest in the number of high-profile data centre industry events in the region. EHDF’s participation at the Data Centre Dynamics Conference aims to help organizations realize whether they need to build or expand their own data centers or lease data canters through a managed services provider for achieving economies of scale. It is important that they assess the risks and benefits from a financial standpoint before deciding to invest in upgrading or expanding their existing facilities."

Data Centre Dynamics Conference and Expo is one of the largest industry events in the region with an international presence in Paris, Frankfurt, New York, Mumbai and Sydney. The Dubai event has gained significance among IT professionals from all over the globe seeking business opportunities in the Middle East market.

With world class data centers, resilient and scalable infrastructure and round-the-clock managed operations, eHosting DataFort has a wide network of technology and channel partners based in the GCC and MENA regions, Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
