Dubai e-Government to host data centre

"This union between e-Government and the eHosting Centre will contribute significantly towards making e-Government's services highly reliable and secure, supported by the advanced system that is empowering the hosting facilities at Dubai Internet City," said Salem Al Shair, director e-Service, Dubai e-Government.

The eHosting Centre will provide reliable, competitive, and cost-effective managed hosting services to help Dubai e-Government provide e-Services for Dubai residents over the Internet. "Our move to host our data centre at the eHosting Centre was preceded by an intensive evaluation of competing firms. We found that the eHosting Centre was best equipped to manage our e-Services and ensure secure and uninterrupted services," Al Shair added. The key aspect of eHosting Centre's managed services is the deployment of an infrastructure cabinet at the client's hosting facility. Once installed, eHosting Centre's remote cabinet, containing management servers, firewalls, switches and other network devices, allows remote management services to be delivered directly to the client's hosting facility from its central management site."We are proud to partner with Dubai e-Government to provide the support and services. Dubai e-Government's pioneering initiatives have blazed a new trail in the region The eHosting Centre is keen to assist it to ensure the success," said Ahmad bin Byat, Director General, Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone.
