MediaSat is a mediapartner of the DCD Converged Middle East conference.

LONDON, UK – Driven by a significant rise in investment across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GGC) region and coupled with future projects, including the 2022 World Cup and Expo 2020, the Middle East is set to become a hotbed of data center activity, fuelled by ever-increasing adoption of cloud services.
DatacenterDynamics (DCD) Converged Middle East, the premier event for the data center, cloud, and IT industry, will explore the interplay between the predicted cloud market boom in the region and issues around data protection, security, and sovereignty that may affect how the market for cloud services develops. Will the security risks hinder development in the Middle East and what impact will this have on the provisioning of cloud services from an infrastructure standpoint?
Dr. Jassim Haji, CIO at Gulf Air, who will be sharing details of Gulf Air’s latest IT innovations and their recent migration to a private cloud at DCD Converged Middle East notes that “No one can turn their back on cloud computing, we all have to jump in and benefit from this trend. Challenges with internet bandwidth, the region’s cultural acceptance, scarcity of skills and security should not deter us from marching in this path. The ROI and competitive advantages are significant”.
Now in its 10th year, DCD Converged Middle East will take place in Dubai on 4th May. The international speaker line-up includes Cole Crawford, Founding Executive Director, Open Compute Project & Co-founder, OpenStack and Leonard Ong, Security Expert & Honorary Chairman, ASIS International.
With over 500 data center professionals expected to attend at the Madinat Jumeirah Conference & Events Centre in Dubai, the 4 track conference programme will include over 20 sessions, covering the latest local and global trends and challenges, including SDN, Big Data analytics tools, data security, the impact of the Internet of Things and much more. Regional and international experts will come together to exchange knowledge and provide the audience with case studies and discussions on best practices for the region.
