The transition of organizations from a CAPEX to OPEX business model was the focus of a presentation delivered by eHosting DataFort at the Data Centre Strategies Middle East 2010 event held on 25th-26th May 2010 in Abu Dhabi.

The two-day forum and exhibition attracted some of the region’s major managed service providers, telecom providers and government entities.

Tying up liquid assets into IT equipment with additional costs for upkeep is a costly exercise which businesses are gradually trying to avoid. However, in following a pay-as-you-go model, businesses are able to take advantage of a third-party managed service provider that has the latest IT infrastructure and a specialized team of engineers and consultants to help manage the mundane daily operations of IT. At the same time, businesses also lower their risks through mitigating their financial costs over a period of time.

eHosting DataFort was honoured with the ‘Best Colocation Facility Middle East Region’ at the Data Centre Strategies Awards 2010.
