Having participated in Data Centre Strategy Middle East 2010, I can without hesitation say we found it to be a most enlightening and constructive event. Not only did it allow us to meet with our regional partners face-to-face, but also to share and discover new ideas and trends in region. The event was clearly structured, well targeted and organized and attracted the right mix of parties to make it a worthwhile investment for any company in the industry. The topics covered were well thought out and of a highly relevant nature – covering the most up-to-date of industry topics. The show allowed us to effectively present our company, services and develop new contacts and opportunities. DCSME allows us to keep our finger on the industry’s pulse in the region and helps realise our MEA business strategy. We certainly look forward to returning next year.

“The Middle East Data Centre Strategies event is viewed by HP as being a useful addition to our events calendar with the 2010 event being particularly useful to meet the decision makers within key strategic accounts in the region, together with allowing us to form alliances and understand the latest technological offerings from equipment vendors, as well as allowing us to stay apprised of the latest approaches taken by consultancy houses in the region. This is very often not possible on such a large – and, particularly focused – scale.
To have an event hosted by a local data centre outsourcing company is incredibly useful as it encourages thought into the emerging technologies within this region, as opposed to a generic picture of the worldwide state of the market, and finally, it was a wonderful opportunity to present the HP CFS capabilities to the Middle East region, and to develop contacts and friendships here, which we hope will lead to long and lasting relationships which can benefit everyone involved.”
Kevin Miller, Customer Project Manager, HP Critical Facility Services
“The Data Center Strategies Middle East is a great industry event where leaders and decision makers from the Data Center industry get an opportunity to interact, share and discuss latest trends and technology offerings in the region. The event was clearly structured and had a great line up of speakers who presented useful information and ideas on relevant topics and issues facing the industry. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to present our views on the Data Centre challenges and opportunities in the region, and to network with potential customers and partners. We would surely consider adding the event to our event calendar again next year.”
Sachin Bhardwaj, Head of Marketing and Business Development, eHosting DataFort
“Our strategic partnership with Data Centre Strategies ME gave Dubai Outsource Zone the opportunity to meet with senior industry leaders in the IT service sector. We were able to extract information from the panels presented by knowledgeable and experienced individuals in the field so we could keep ourselves abreast with industry trends and challenges. An event like DCSME is important in facilitating the development of the Middle East’s IT sector - we look forward to seeing the event return next year.”
Reem Shaban, Head of Marketing, Dubai Internet City and Dubai Outsource Zone
