Digital infrastructure needs to be considered a basic business requirement for UAE companies, according to an Equinix executive.<\/p>\n
Brian Lillie, Chief Product Officer, Equinix, said during a visit to Dubai for a knowledge sharing session with telco du, that the rapid development of smart technology in the UAE has redefined the way companies do business.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cData is increasingly becoming the currency of the global digital economy. For enterprises to monetise their data and extract the most value from it, they must re-think their data architectures – this is extremely crucial to drive global economic growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Dubai recently launching the emirate\u2019s flagship Internet of Things Strategy and Data Wealth initiative, my visit to the emirate couldn’t have happened at a more opportune time. It\u2019s very exciting to see Dubai\u2019s push to build the future today and establish a digital infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Farid Faraidooni, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, EITC (Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company which trades under the name of du), said: \u201cFor digital transformation to take place, business should be looking to invest in enhancing their customers\u2019 experience and engagement, which requires interconnections with networks, clouds, and vertical specific business ecosystems.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough our alliance with Equinix, we are offering a true interconnection platform for the regional enterprises, banks, insurers and electronic payments firms to co-locate critical IT systems inside our data centre and interconnect to facilitate the operation of countless IT workloads\u201d<\/p>\n
