Boom time for 'ME cloud computing sector'

Dubai, October 19, 2010

Cloud computing continues to thrive as an alternative option to on-premise applications because of its savings, effectiveness and flexibility,' said Irini Rafaat, managing director of Link Development, an innovative IT solutions and services provider in the region.

The industry is set for major growth, with global sales set to hit $148.8 billion by the end of 2014, up from $58.6 billion last year, she  said citing data from technology analyst firm Gartner.

Being experts in Microsoft virtualization technologies, Link allows organizations to assess their current datacenters and choose the proposed virtualization design best suited for their environment, Irini said.

'Visitors to the Microsoft stand at Gitex will have the chance to experience part of Link’s suite of IT solutions and services aimed at enhancing corporate effectiveness by increasing employees’ productivity and reducing cost of ownership and processing time,' she added.

According to Irini, the bSolutions.com, one of the latest innovation platforms offered by Link, is fast becoming the prime destination for cloud-computing solutions, serving small to medium sized businesses, as well as enterprises.

Furthermore, the bSolutions.com cloud computing platform allows companies to focus on their core businesses and run innovative applications without the extra costs of in house servers and additional staff.

'Another star of the show in cloud computing is the collaboration technology, Meet Online. It offers real-time and cost effective interaction within staff members and is an excellent option for e-learning programs, new employee training, technical training, sales and reseller training as well as customer meetings and training,' she explained.

With the complete set of tools offered by Link’s solutions, customers can now access, deploy and update desktops, servers, laptops, and mobile devices across enterprise networks.

The result is tremendous flexibility for users, combined with new levels of competence and agility for IT departments, Irini pointed out.

Offering a wide array of interactive tools, Meet Online enables its users to share applications, presentations and documents, launch audio-video conferencing and whiteboard easily. Its solutions facilitate real-time interactive meeting for knowledge sharing and collaboration.

“In today’s competitive world, software and technological innovation are key contributors to helping companies gain an edge. Enabling greater efficiency and higher ROI for businesses, we are not surprised at the rate of growth for the cloud computing industry,” Irini said.

“We are pleased to be work alongside Microsoft at this year’s Gitex in offering the latest cloud computing solutions,” she added.-TradeArabia News Service
