This year saw the 10th anniversary of Data Center Dynamics (DCD) Converged in the Gulf, the region’s most important gathering of data center end-users, operators, service providers, and advisors.
Recent months have seen considerable investment across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region in mission critical IT and communications infrastructure. A substantial portion of regional growth has been driven by new on-premise data center deployments and expansion initiatives, as well as growth in the services sector. DCD multi-track conference programme provided the perfect platform to learn from colleagues and recognised industry experts, and the Expo showcased the latest technologies to help organizations manage capacity, increase efficiency, and improve system availability across their data center infrastructure.
Shah Sheikh, Co-Founder and Sr. Security Consultant at DTS Solution and founding member of the Cloud Security Alliance UAE Chapter was a guest speaker as part of a panel discussion on the topic of Cloud Security. The panel discussion was chaired by Safdar Zaman, Head of IT, Strategy & Governance, Nakheel PJSC along with panelists Simon Bradford, Cloud Technologies Director, Microsoft and Nasser Ahmed, Lead Technical Solutions Specialists (Cloud), Google and Shah Sheikh, Co-founding Member, Cloud Security Alliance UAE.
