Over the years, the cloud has evolved from being an industry buzzword to becoming the lifeblood that runs through most modern enterprises. Cloud adoption has seen explosive growth with worldwide spending slated to reach $1 trillion by 2024, according to a recent study by global research and analyst firm International Data Corporation (IDC).
Cloud is the most influential technology today. It has accelerated business innovation, continuity and resilience while ensuring employee productivity and value to customers. In the Middle East, organisations in both public and private sectors are ramping up their investments in cloud computing projects to develop knowledge-based economies.
In 2020, the cloud has once again demonstrated its monumental power. It helped organisations adapt to unprecedented changes and enabled them to rapidly respond to customer needs under the most challenging of circumstances.
It is undeniable that the cloud industry will continue to grow and Middle East organisations are well-positioned to reap the opportunities. In addition, cloud players such as Huawei are poised to further drive adoption and accelerate innovations in the region. Last year, Huawei launched its cloud service in the Middle East to provide ubiquitous cloud and intelligence for all scenarios, which include smart public services, smart enterprise development and Smart City governance.
In order to help regional organisations better realise and maximise the cloud’s revolutionary potential, Huawei is hosting the ‘HUAWEI CLOUD Summit Middle East: Online’. To be held on 15th September 2021 from 2:00PM to 5:00PM (GMT+4), in association with IDC and the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the virtual event will connect business leaders, industry visionaries, experts, customers and partners to examine ways to build a dynamic ecosystem for collaboration and shared success.

A recent IDC report revealed that 30% of global organisations are accelerating innovation to support business and operating model reinvention, fast-tracking transformation programmes to future-proof their business. It also found that by 2022, 70% of organisations will have accelerated use of digital technologies, transforming existing business processes to drive customer engagement, employee productivity, and business resiliency. As the cloud offers benefits such as agility, scalability and cost-savings, it will become a key enabler in making such digital transformation objectives possible.
However, it is expected that enterprises will continue to rely on a mix of on-premises, private clouds, multiple public clouds and legacy platforms to address their infrastructure needs. This begs the question: Is hybrid cloud the future? Find out at the HUAWEI CLOUD Summit Middle East!
