Press Release Summary: The newly launched Data Centre Infrastructure offering will help organisations reduce the risk associated with IT disruption, improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.
Press Release Body: Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 21, 2008: Dimension Data, the leading regional specialist IT services and solutions provider, today announced the launch of its Data Centre Infrastructure business for the UAE market at GITEX Technology Week 2008. The latest offering will complement Dimension Data's Communication Cabling solutions and Integrated Security & Media solutions that it currently offers in the UAE. Dimension Data's new Data Centre Infrastructure business will help organisations reduce the risk associated with IT disruption, improve operational efficiency and reduce costs in maintaining the IT infrastructure.
"The Data Centre has become a vital component of an organisation's business operations due to the critical role that it plays in supporting expensive IT equipment that enable business operations to function. Companies rely strongly on their IT systems to run their operations efficiently. The main concerns most organisations face today are business continuity and information security. If a system becomes unavailable, the company's operations may face a slow down or may even stop completely. It is therefore necessary to provide a reliable infrastructure for IT operations in order to minimize any chance of disruption. Taking into account all these factors, we decided to launch our Data Centre Infrastructure solution offering for our clients in the UAE," says Mr. Siddeek Rahim, Managing Director of Dimension Data.
With the launch of its Data Centre Infrastructure business, Dimension Data is able to offer clients a single point of contact for the Plan (design and consultancy), Build (deployment of the infrastructure) and Support (after sale support and monitoring) of turnkey Data Centre Infrastructure solutions that includes communication cabling, backup power and electrical reticulation, fire suppression, precision cooling, access flooring, environmental monitoring, IP surveillance and access control. In addition to this, the company possesses the added advantage of understanding the dynamics of an IT operation and the associated demands that it places on the Data Centre environment.
"Dimension Data fully understands the criticality of deploying a reliable IT infrastructure and the processes required to make it work effectively. We are working closely with the leading technology vendors to offer our clients the latest and best technologies available in the market today. We felt GITEX is an ideal platform to introduce our latest solution offering to our clients and hence we decided to launch our Data Centre Infrastructure business at this event," explains Mr. Marc Jessiman, Business Unit Manager Advanced Infrastructure, Dimension Data.
In South Africa, where the company's headquarter is located, the Data Centre Infrastructure business has experienced tremendous growth and success due to a compelling value proposition that includes a wealth of knowledge and experience, an eco system of best of breed business partners and a history of excellent service delivery.
