Over the past few years, hybrid cloud has evolved from a buzzword into a strategic cornerstone for organizations
across the Middle East. Nowhere is this transformation 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.
