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. Dimension Data intends to leverage the above mentioned factors in order to
offer a Data Centre Infrastructure solution that will add value to our clients
businesses and strengthen the company's value proposition in the UAE.
