Zero&One welcomes the launch of AWS Middle East (UAE) Region, which will support the acceleration of innovation and digital transformation in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The new AWS Middle East (UAE) Region consists of three Availability Zones (AZs) and becomes AWS’s second region in the Middle East with the existing AWS Region in Bahrain, launched in 2019. The new AWS Region gives organizations even greater choice for running their applications and serving end users from data centers located in the UAE, using advanced AWS technologies to drive innovation.
Harnessing the power of AWS locally as an AWS Middle East (UAE) Launch Partner, Zero&One have put together a fine set of offerings to accommodate this launch. Among the features and services being offered as a way for companies to kick start their journey to the cloud are Microsoft Licensing Optimization and Cloud Adoption Consultation, helping businesses migrate their work, not their servers, unlocking the full potential of the cloud by aiding them in embracing a cloud native mindset. Other services include the creation of cloud landing zones, Devops jumpstart, securing and synchronizing data, migrating data to the UAE from across the globe, and modernizing Microsoft workloads.
Ali El Kontar, Zero&One’s CEO said, “Zero&One is growing because of the continued investment of AWS in the Middle East, and today’s launch of the new AWS Region is an important milestone for the industry. As a company, we have been developing our resources and skill sets in response to the increasing demand for AWS services and recently became an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner. We also developed a strategic partnership with PwC Middle East, bringing together PwC’s expertise in digital consulting and Zero&One's deep competencies to further empower our clients with comprehensive solutions to transform, manage, and execute cloud strategies and adoption.”
AWS Regions are composed of Availability Zones that place infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic locations. Availability Zones are located far enough from each other to support customers’ business continuity but near enough to provide low latency for high availability applications that use multiple Availability Zones. Each Availability Zone has independent power, cooling, and physical security and is connected through redundant, ultra-low latency networks. AWS customers focused on high availability can design their applications to run in multiple Availability Zones to achieve even greater fault tolerance. The launch of the AWS Middle East (UAE) Region will enable local customers with data residency requirements to store data securely in the UAE, while providing customers with even lower latency across the country.
