Huawei inks deal on ICT projects
Print Edition
China’s biggest information and communication technology firm Huawei and Drake and Scull International said yesterday they agreed to work together on ICT development projects in the MENA region.
Huawei and DSI said the deal aims to help organizations across the Middle East and North African region in building up data center technology through a new jointly created turnkey solution.
Dong Wu, vice president of Huawei Enterprise Middle East, and Khaldoun Tabari, CEO of DSI inked the agreement. Dubai-based DSI is one of the biggest providers in MENA in construction, property maintenance and water and power supply.
According to yesterday’s joint filing to the Dubai Financial Market, “the alliance will combine Huawei’s expertise in enterprise ICT infrastructure with DSI’s operational capabilities in data center development,” as well as their regional experience as an integrated engineering service provider.
The integration of Huawei and DSI services would also provide companies with a one-stop turnkey solution to develop large scale data centers, the filing added.
“We are living in an era of big data with organizations in the region demanding infrastructure and networks that need to be highly secure, scalable and reliable,” said Dong.
Tabari said: “Creating a robust and scalable data network requires a high level of precision not just in core IT hardware, but also in the design and deployment of that technology within a set project to offer 24-hour operational service.”
Dong earlier told Xinhua at MENA’s biggest ICT fair, GITEX, that a major trend in the region was that firms spend less on expanding hardware “but they aim to use their ICT resources they have and demand more software-driven solutions like cloud computing or virtual data centers.”
