more apparent than in the UAE. From federal ministries to fintech startups,

organizations across the UAE are rapidly reimagining their infrastructure models. They

are moving away from legacy systems and siloed data centers in favor of more agile,

scalable, and secure hybrid solutions that offer the best of both public and private cloud

worlds.

Today, hybrid cloud isn’t just gaining momentum – it’s becoming foundational.

Enterprises are increasingly turning to multi-cloud models to modernize IT systems

while retaining control over their data and operations.

Region Transformed by Cloud Choice

The cloud ecosystem in the Middle East, particularly in the UAE, has shifted

dramatically in the last 12 to 18 months. Global hyperscalers like AWS, Microsoft, and

Alibaba have entered the market and expanded their regional availability, creating a

competitive landscape with greater service diversity and localized capabilities.

Alongside them, sovereign cloud providers such as G42 in Abu Dhabi and Moro Hub in

Dubai have emerged with offerings tailored specifically for the country’s regulatory and

operational needs.

This transformation is further catalyzed by the strategic national visions set out by

countries in the region, including the Saudi Vision 2030 and the UAE Centennial 2071.

These ambitious plans outline specific goals for technological advancement and digital

transformation, driving investment and innovation in cloud infrastructure. By 2028, the

global cloud market is poised to reach a value of USD 1.266 trillion, a significant

increase compared to USD 626.46 billion in 2023.

Organizations in the Middle East are increasingly finding innovative ways to harness

cloud technology to support their growth and digital strategies. Research has shown that

around 90 per cent of companies in the region have moved beyond the ‘lift and shift’
