Moro Hub joins hands with Intel to speed up digital transformation

Moro Hub (Data Hub Integrated Solutions), a subsidiary of Digital Dewa, the digital arm of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa), signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Intel Corporation to advance collaboration in implementing and accelerating digital transformation initiatives at Moro Hub’s Green Data Centre, the first Certified Tier III Data Centre in the Middle East.

The agreement was signed between Marwan Bin Haidar, Vice Chairman and Group CEO of Digital Dewa and Taha Khalifa, Territory Client Computing Director at Intel Emea.

The MoU will strengthen Moro Hub’s IT and technology investments and will enhance the concepts and initiatives in the field of smart solutions. The key focus areas include multi-cloud infrastructure, analytics platforms, smart cities, video surveillance, green data centre, and other IoT use cases.

“Moro Hub’s initiatives are driven in accordance with the guidelines of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai which aims to make the UAE a hub for Circular Economy. This MoU contributes in our endeavours to make the Green Data Centre into the world’s best and sustainable platform for future tech. As a 10X enabler, Moro Hub has always underlined the importance of strategic partnerships and through this collaboration with Intel Corporation, our goal is to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and deploy impactful strategies that will cement our position as key technology experts locally and globally,” said Marwan Bin Haidar.

The MoU follows Moro Hub’s initiatives to optimise collaborative solutions on Intel’s architecture and aims to enable the company to benefit from Intel’s expertise on innovative offerings.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Moro Hub to accelerate the digital initiatives at their Green Data Centre. Moro Hub is a leading technology provider and partnering with them is an opportunity to maximise our expertise and further empower the use of our advanced solutions. We are confident that this joint effort will further accelerate the development of the UAE’s evolving digital economy,” said Taha Khalifa, Territory Client Computing Director at Intel Emea.

Intel will strengthen its cooperation with Moro Hub by sharing best practices and reference architectures from its key customers and partners; providing strategic information on future products and solution roadmaps; conducting workshops and trainings on advanced technology pertaining to its next-generation products and services.

Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital Dewa, the digital arm of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa), on Tuesday signed a Managed Service Provider (MSP) agreement with Trend Micro, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions. This will enable Moro Hub to provide cloud workload protection services to its customers and accelerate their digital transformation journey.

The agreement was signed between Marwan Bin Haidar, Vice Chairman and Group CEO of Digital Dewa, and Majd Sinan, Country Manager of Trend Micro UAE.

Bin Haidar commented, “Our cooperation with Trend Micro will enable Moro Hub to provide customers with the best locally hosted, unified security management services that accelerate compliance and secure workloads hosted in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.”

He added that the alliance will be of particular importance as several organisations have been challenged by the increasingly complex and rapidly changing tactics of savvy cyber adversaries in the last few years due to the digital influx.

“The new service will empower Moro Hub customers with top-of-the-line security and offer them compliance tools to safeguard new and existing cloud resources. This will help us to offer innovative and competitive digital technologies in the region, which is in line with Dubai 10X and UAE Centennial 2071,” Bin Haidar explained.

Sinan, in turn, stated, “We see unprecedented migration to cloud environments, many of them multi-cloud. This partnership ensures organisations can secure workloads and guarantee compliance so that enterprises can grow their business without worrying about security issues. Together with Moro Hub, we shall protect the UAE’s enterprises as they build more competitive business operations in the cloud.” Moro Hub (Data Hub Integrated Solutions), a subsidiary of Digital Dewa, the digital arm of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa), has signed a Global Service Provider Agreement with Cisco AppDynamics last week. The partnership will provide Moro Hub with a unique opportunity to be the first and only Managed Services Provider for AppDynamics in the MEA region.

This will provide Moro Hub customers with access to the Cisco AppDynamics Business Observability platform to monitor application and user performance. It also allows them to have in-depth real-time visibility into end-user transactions, network, and SaaS media platforms, while enhancing application security, through Moro Hub’s cloud platform, its data centres, and cloud hosting services.
