DOHA: Qatari businesses need to adopt innovative data storage technology to keep them on track with new solutions and cope with global cloud computing and the evolving data trend, a visiting regional top executive of a global data storage company said.
Zaher Haydar (pictured), Regional Pre-Sales Manager for Turkey, Emerging Africa and Middle East of EMC, said having the right next generation data storage solutions are very crucial to Qatar's business community especially the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.
"Qatar being at the heart of the countries in the Gulf, needs to cope with the fast changing trends in technology in this digital age of virtualisation," Haydar said in an interview with The Peninsula.
Haydar has noted in his presentation before IT professionals and executives at an exclusive gathering of EMC's "Record Breaking Mega Tour" at the Grand Hyatt Hotel said having the best solutions to data storage is very important nowadays considering a projection by experts that by 2015, there won't be enough memory and space to address an explosion of data across an increasing demand and usage of cloud computing.
"The information across the virtual world is trapped within our hands and we need to break the limits," Haydar said.
He said EMC is offering the newly-launched multiple solutions and multiple products that would make data storage more efficient and affordable especially the SMEs considered as the fastest growing market in Qatar.
EMC introduced before participants during the half-day event the EMC VNX storage solutions for SMEs and the EMC Symmetrix VMAX for big enterprises which Haydar said offer a more intelligent and smarter yet more secure technology that will address the issues on impending data storage shortage in the virtual world.
EMC has offered 40 new storage technologies and products to reinforce its leadership in the data storage solutions and powerfully position itself at the intersection of the major trends driving information growth including cloud computing and Big Data applications.
