The
enterprise
storage
and servers
segment
has evolved
greatly over
the last few
years. Partners have to go beyond
the traditional product-based
approach to offer a comprehensive
solution to meet the customer’s
requirements.
There is also a large influx
of small to medium IoT firms
that can help address the
challenges faced by organizations
across different functions
and industries. We believe
collaborating and building a
model around cloud and IoT
offerings will be the way forward
for partners in the coming years.
With the advent of cloud
and virtualization technologies,
legacy systems integrators are
now attempting to construct their
business models around these
opportunities. In the meantime,
we are seeing an increasing
number of ‘born-in-the-cloud’
partners and ISVs who are making
an impact in the cloud segment.
As the cloud opportunity in the
Middle East is expected to grow
exponentially in the coming
years, it’s critical for the channel
to develop the required model
and in-house expertise to present
cloud offerings to their customers.
We believe that the channel
partners’ ability to identify their
model of value-add in the cloud
era must be at the center of their
roadmap and vision.
At Redington Value, we are
ensuring we are leading the space
with innovation. For example, our
state-of-the-art solutions center,
Red Vault, showcases technologies
addressing different business
outcomes across verticals. Our
consulting arm, Citrus Consulting
is supporting partners on building
the cloud roadmap for end-users.
We aim to continue collaborating
with vendors on comprehensive
solutions around IoT and Smart
City solutions.

Fortinet’s latest Global Enterprise
Security Survey. The research
also highlights that many IT
professionals believe that the
transition to the cloud as part
of their organizations’ digital
transformation will in turn make
security a growing priority.
“Over the years, we’ve
seen that cybersecurity has
become a key investment
for organizations, with more
and more C-level executives
considering it as part of their
broader IT strategy,” said Alain
Penel, Regional Vice President,
Middle East, Fortinet. “As
organizations now embrace

that they spend over 10% of
their IT budget on security,
which is a high investment. 69%
of the surveyed respondents
said their IT security budget
has increased from the previous
year. Now, IT decision makers
feel strongly that cybersecurity
should become a top
management priority with 87%
of the respondents saying that
the board should actually put IT
security under greater scrutiny.
Three key drivers for
cybersecurity becoming a top
priority include increase in
security breaches and global
cyberattacks, increased
pressure from the regulators
and transition to the cloud as a
catalyst for security priorities.

cybersecurity is no longer just
an IT investment but a strategic

digital economy, I expect the
trend we’ve seen at the board

broader risk management
strategy. By doing so,
companies will be in a better
position to succeed in their
digital transformation efforts.”
One of the research highlights
was that 47% of IT decision

Platform clusters. Red Hat
Container-Native Storage 3.6
comes on the heels of Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform
3.6, the latest version of the firm’s
enterprise-grade Kubernetes
container application platform.
Red Hat Container-Native
Storage, built upon Red Hat Gluster
Storage, is integrated with Red
Hat OpenShift Container Platform
and uniquely serves storage out
of containers. Red Hat Gluster
Storage is enterprise-grade, durable,
more secure and well-suited for
the hybrid cloud as it supports
both on-premise or public cloud
deployments. These attributes make
it ideally suited to Red Hat Openshift
Container Platform deployments.
Red Hat Container-Native Storage
can eliminate the need to have an
independent storage platform,
enabling customers to achieve one
integrated container platform that

teams to automatically
investigate, validate, enrich and
respond to detections across all
networks and endpoints. With
Elevate, organizations gain
complete visibility of all alerts,
speed their alert response times,
and dramatically increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of
their security operations teams.
“Too much data and not
enough information characterizes
many security operations teams,”
said John McCormack, Chief
Executive Officer, Fidelis. “Unlike
other solutions, Fidelis Elevate
brings together network and
endpoint telemetry, metadata,
execution context and machine
learning to deliver actionable
compromise intelligence. This
approach reduces the time
required for manual investigation
and validation, and enables
organizations to automate their
responses. With Elevate, security
operations teams dramatically
increase their efficiency and
effectiveness, often by 10-20x.”
Fidelis Elevate relies on
three core tenets to prevent
modern attacks from stealing or
destroying corporate data:
Completeness: Engineered for
complete visibility across network
and endpoints, Fidelis Elevate
delivers a complete, integrated
and unified intelligence layer
that automates operations and
response.
Visibility: Fidelis Elevate
provides unique depth-
of-field visibility that
automatically ingests and
analyzes packets, sessions,
and content traversing the
network, while doing the
same for processes, memory
and files on endpoint.
Visibility is both real-time
and historical, and spans
all ports, protocols, and
operating systems.
Automation: By automating
the actions and insights of
three roles—a skilled analyst,
a threat hunter and an
incident responder—Fidelis
Elevate delivers these key
security skillsets in a faster,
more sustainable manner, and
alleviates issues caused by
alert fatigue and today’s skills
shortage.
Fidelis Elevate is available,
both from the cloud or in
traditional on-premises
deployments.

  • 3. Microsoft ignites digital transformation The company demonstrates the power of the intelligent cloud and the intelligent edge at GITEX 2017. Microsoft demonstrated the power of its intelligent cloud in concert with the intelligent edge, at the 37th GITEX Technology Week at the Dubai World Trade Centre’s International Convention Centre. Microsoft’s GITEX focus this year is “Ignite Your Digital Transformation” through showcasing its innovations for all workloads and industries ranging all the way from education to healthcare, and manufacturing to retail - that are allowing millions of organizations worldwide to engage customers, empower employees, optimise operations and transform products and services. Spanning across Productivity, Business Intelligence, Security, Cloud, Mixed Reality, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, the exhibits included Intelligent Cloud, Modern Workplace, Windows 10 Creators Update and Devices, and the Partners Zone. Microsoft’s professional network provider LinkedIn also showcased its Sales Navigator combined with the power of Dynamics 365 to empower sales teams in building strong relationships. “Digital transformation has extraordinary potential for businesses and organizations of all scales and industries,” said Sayed Hashish, Regional General Manager, Microsoft Gulf. “It has the power to automate the mundane and give a freer hand to natural innovators, through the intelligent cloud and the intelligent edge. Our continued participation at GITEX, demonstrates Microsoft’s commitment to Dubai, the UAE and the wider region by showcasing our portfolio of innovations - empowering organizations to achieve more”. From page 1From page 1 Huawei...Dell EMC... 3 The enterprise storage and servers segment has evolved greatly over the last few years. Partners have to go beyond the traditional product-based approach to offer a comprehensive solution to meet the customer’s requirements. There is also a large influx of small to medium IoT firms that can help address the challenges faced by organizations across different functions and industries. We believe collaborating and building a model around cloud and IoT offerings will be the way forward for partners in the coming years. With the advent of cloud and virtualization technologies, legacy systems integrators are now attempting to construct their business models around these opportunities. In the meantime, we are seeing an increasing number of ‘born-in-the-cloud’ partners and ISVs who are making an impact in the cloud segment. As the cloud opportunity in the Middle East is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years, it’s critical for the channel to develop the required model and in-house expertise to present cloud offerings to their customers. We believe that the channel partners’ ability to identify their model of value-add in the cloud era must be at the center of their roadmap and vision. At Redington Value, we are ensuring we are leading the space with innovation. For example, our state-of-the-art solutions center, Red Vault, showcases technologies addressing different business outcomes across verticals. Our consulting arm, Citrus Consulting is supporting partners on building the cloud roadmap for end-users. We aim to continue collaborating with vendors on comprehensive solutions around IoT and Smart City solutions.

The technology rides on the advantages of key technologies to deliver new levels of hardware resource utilisation and adapt more flexibly to service demands. Huawei’s FusionServer V5 includes integrated solutions that the firm claims can help businesses in the region boost the overall computing efficiency of their data centers. Alaa ElShimy, Vice President and Managing Director, Huawei Enterprise, ME, said, “The release of our ‘boundless computing’ server strategy and series solutions empowers our clients to be a creative force in their industry, bringing new value through efficient, smarter computing.” both now and as their businesses evolve. According to the firm, with all the advanced capabilities starting at a street price of under $10,000, “SCv3000 is simply a great value for the most cost- conscious customers.” XtremIO X2 is the ideal platform for workloads that benefit from deduplication and integrated copy data management (iCDM) for large-scale snapshots, such as VDI and development/test use cases. Dell EMC has engineered X2 to be even more efficient in storage capacity and All- Flash performance, at a price as low as one-third of its predecessor.

  • 4. Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced that it plans to open an infrastructure region in the Middle East by early 2019. The new AWS Middle East (Bahrain) region will consist of three Availability Zones at launch. Currently, AWS provides 44 Availability Zones across 16 Fortinet has revealed that almost half of the IT decision makers (ITDMs) at 250 plus employee organizations in the Middle East believe that cybersecurity is still not a significant priority for board members despite high profile Fortinet: 50% of ME IT decision-makers believe cybersecurity is not a top priority The research also highlights that the transition to the cloud will in turn make security a growing priority. 44 cyberattacks continuing to occur according to findings of Fortinet’s latest Global Enterprise Security Survey. The research also highlights that many IT professionals believe that the transition to the cloud as part of their organizations’ digital transformation will in turn make security a growing priority. “Over the years, we’ve seen that cybersecurity has become a key investment for organizations, with more and more C-level executives considering it as part of their broader IT strategy,” said Alain Penel, Regional Vice President, Middle East, Fortinet. “As organizations now embrace digital transformation and turn that they spend over 10% of their IT budget on security, which is a high investment. 69% of the surveyed respondents said their IT security budget has increased from the previous year. Now, IT decision makers feel strongly that cybersecurity should become a top management priority with 87% of the respondents saying that the board should actually put IT security under greater scrutiny. Three key drivers for cybersecurity becoming a top priority include increase in security breaches and global cyberattacks, increased pressure from the regulators and transition to the cloud as a catalyst for security priorities. Alain Penel, Fortinet Andy Jassy, Amazon Web Services to technologies like the cloud, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT investment but a strategic business decision. In today’s digital economy, I expect the trend we’ve seen at the board level to accelerate with security being treated as a top priority within an organizations’ broader risk management strategy. By doing so, companies will be in a better position to succeed in their digital transformation efforts.” One of the research highlights was that 47% of IT decision makers believe that IT security is still not a top priority discussion for the board. This doesn’t seem to affect budgets since 54% of enterprises stated 78 points of presence AWS has around the world. “As countries in the Middle East look to transform their economies for generations to come, technology will play a major role, and the cloud will be in the middle of that transformation,” said Andy Jassy, CEO, Amazon Web Services. “Some of the most gratifying parts of operating AWS over the last 11 years have been helping As countries in the Middle East look to transform their economies for generations to come, technology will play a major role, and the cloud will be in the middle of that transformation.” AWS to open data centers in the Middle East by 2019 New AWS infrastructure will enable customers to run workloads in the region and serve end-users with even lower latency thousands of new companies get started, empowering large enterprises to reinvent their customer experiences, and allowing governments and academic institutions to innovate for citizens again.
