Dubai: du, from Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC), announced today that it has been chosen as the cloud service provider of choice for the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA), following the government entity’s decision to enact the Dubai Pulse platform as the preferred secure cloud-hosting environment for its e-services portal.
Announced during GITEX Technology Week 2019, du has begun initiating SIRA’s cloud journey with seamless and fast implementation, which will provide the entity with the scalability and growth value propositions delivered via the widely regarded Dubai Pulse platform.
This partnership will see du cater to SIRA’s need for virtual solutions to cater to web, application, database, and shared services on the Dubai Pulse platform. The hosting environment is currently live and implementation was completed in the third quarter of 2019.

H.E Wesam Lootah, CEO, Smart Dubai Government Establishment, said: “The success of the flagship Dubai Pulse platform means it is now a mainstay for all government entities and enterprises looking to utilise its transformative capabilities. Many government entities are enjoying the innovative value of the platform and, with the signing of SIRA to Dubai Pulse, we are another step closer to realising the vision for a happier, smarter, and more digitally-enabled Dubai.”
