to networking. GITEX is a key event for us every year; participating in the show is not just a great branding exercise, but we also get a lot of good business leads and it gives us opportunities to showcase our market-leading capabilities to senior IT decisionmakers. It also gives us a chance to network and strengthen our ties with the channel community.

“Every year the event just keeps getting bigger and better - this year with the focus on the Internet of Everything, we hope to see a lot of exciting technologies that will revolutionise the world as we know it today.”

Veeam highlights modern data solutions Veeam is exhibiting its Availability Suite, a solution that aims to deliver recovery time and point objectives (RTPO) for less than 15 minutes for all applications and data at GITEX Technology Week.

this availability gap with Availability for the Modern Data Centre, and when combined with virtualisation, cloud, and other enabling technologies, enables the ‘AlwaysOn Business.’

Here’s an idea: Design the smallest, fastest, smartest LaserJets ever.

The all-new HP LaserJets.

Now up to 40% smaller and 40% faster.

We started with a blank page and asked “What do businesses need now?” The result is the all-new HP LaserJets, built around a breakthrough in toner chemistry. Thanks to new Original HP Toner with JetIntelligence, the new LaserJets are up to 40% smaller, up to 40% faster and use up to 53% less energy.1

Software. “It offers a great platform for vendors, partners and customers to get together and share ideas. Over the past five years we have used GITEX as an opportunity to showcase our products and capabilities and to meet with both existing and prospective clients and partners. I can attribute much of our success to the relationships we have built and fostered at the event and I expect GITEX 2015 to be no different.”

Petersen underlines that data centre consolation and virtualisation are the big trends here in the Middle East, as such it will have a big impact on the regional ICT industry over the next few years. Veeam is uniquely

positioned to help customers transition to these technologies, he says.

“There are still a skills shortages in the region that doesn’t allow people to plan and then implement a successful Disaster Recovery (DR) strategy,” explains Petersen.

“Secondly the cost and/ rentals of bandwidth prohibit people from moving forward with any DR strategy. This is one of the reasons why we are seeing an increased interest in Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) and backup as a Service (BaaS). Veeam is uniquely placed with Veeam Cloud Connect solution to help partners offer these services to their clients.”
