Equinix is demonstrating its latest innovations that are focused on empowering businesses in the Middle East in their digital transformation journeys, enabling interconnection of these businesses to networks, cloud service providers and digital supply chains.

As the technology industry continues to expand at a rapid pace, today’s businesses seek digital technologies that can be seamlessly integrated with legacy IT infrastructures to optimise business processes, agility and scale. “For a successful transformation, companies will need to adopt an Interconnection-first architecture that will enable them to decentralise IT and networking and extend their IT operations through the interconnection of people, things, locations, clouds and data,” said Jeroen Schlosser, Managing Director, Equinix MENA.

During the week, visitors at the Equinix stand will also share how these organisations can use colocation centers to leverage the benefits of edge computing and networking both in the region and globally.

“Equinix has been instrumental in helping companies shift to a digital-ready IT infrastructure by providing direct and secure, private interconnection on our global vendor-neutral platform. We choose to exhibit at GITEX Technology Week year after year, to stay up to date in the new technologies and business transformation tools ranging from multi-cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI) to Machine Learning (ML) are fundamentally changing the way data is being produced, shared and analysed,” said Schlosser.

Equinix experts are also present at GITEX to share how its leading enterprise customers overcame the barriers of increasing IT fragmentation, complexity and cost in their digital deployments. “This includes insights into how to utilise an Interconnection Oriented Architecture (IOA) strategy to deploy decentralized points of integration and control at the edge of your digital business. We’ll show you how to leverage blueprints designed from our customers’ real-world implementations to best position your company for digital business,” said Schlosser.

According to Schlosser, Equinix has been instrumental in helping companies shift to a digital-ready IT infrastructure by providing direct and secure, private interconnection on our global vendor-neutral platform. Today, MENA companies are already using Platform Equinix to access clouds, and many are using a hybrid cloud strategy with a combination of public, private and on-premises capabilities.
