Injazat Data Systems, the region’s leading Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) company, has announced that it is building a Tier IV data centre in Abu Dhabi. The centre will be part of Injazat’s new headquarters with world class infrastructure, serving Injazat clients and housing Injazat staff.
Tier IV data centres have the highest performance rating compared to other data centres due to two main key elements. Firstly they have redundant capacity systems and multiple distribution paths simultaneously serving the site’s computer equipment. Secondly, all its IT equipments are dual powered and installed properly to be compatible with the topology of the site architecture.
The data centre will provide Injazat’s clients with a secure and reliable environment for their IT infrastructure and will be the base for all Injazat’s IT infrastructure that supports clients’ services. It will also be a first choice for clients who wish to have their mission critical systems managed in a highly secure, resilient environment thus benefiting from high-quality, reliable managed data centre services.
“Critical business systems and data must be fully protected in a secure environment, and must also be readily accessible,” said Ibrahim Lari, CEO of Injazat Data Systems. “Significant data loss can occur due to a number of factors such as system failure, system corruption or natural disasters. Delivering a capability to deal with such scenarios has therefore become a prime focus for the region’s organisations, and having in place such a Tier IV data centre facility is the most potent and cost-effective safeguard against loss of systems and data.”
“Injazat’s Tier IV data centre will provide critical infrastructure to support mission critical IT applications for our clients’ businesses. The automated data back-up processes that will be put in place, will reduce the need for human intervention and potential errors and will ensure that data remains protected throughout the back-up and recovery process, thereby resulting in significant cost and time savings for our clients,” Lari added.
The centre will provide clients with access through a fully-redundant IT infrastructure with 24/7 onsite security and technical support, in addition to a comprehensive range of value-added service offerings to address key IT-related tasks and ongoing activities. With 2,000 sqm of useable space, the data centre will be large enough to support up to 5000 servers and associated infrastructure. The physical facilities and premises will be monitored round the clock, by technology and professional staff.
Injazat’s move to set up a Tier IV data centre forms part of a larger initiative that also involves the construction of Injazat’s new headquarters at Madinat Mohammed bin Zayed, off new Airport road in Abu Dhabi. The new office campus is aimed at bringing together Injazat employees at one facility, thus providing economies of scale and opportunities for further service improvement. The office complex will have modern facilities such as spacious and well-equipped meeting rooms, auditorium, gym, coffee shop and a large covered parking facility.
“Injazat is committed to providing its clients with the most reliable and secure IT management services based on the highest international standards. Our services are designed to help government and private sector organisations streamline their business operations and derive maximum return on their IT investments, thereby allowing them to gain a competitive edge,” Lari concluded.
