ABU DHABI MONITORING
AND CONTROL CENTRE
ANNOUNCES COLLABORATION
WITH DELL EMC
A
bu Dhabi Monitoring and Control
Centre (ADMCC) has announced a
strategic collaboration with Dell EMC
towards achieving its ambitious vision to
build a secure and intelligent city.
Intelligent cities as a concept are safer cities,
utilising advanced infrastructure to connect
and protect the citizens while creating a
more efficient and liveable space. In line
with this objective, ADMCC aims to embrace
digital transformation to interconnect public
and private services, increase innovation and
efficiency, and provide credible measures to
enhance safety and security of the citizens
of the capital through surveillance cameras.
Surveillance cameras are a critical building
block of an intelligent city, which efficiently
provide real-time data on a number of
city services such as police and emergency
services, electricity, water, lighting and traffic
management. However, eliminating human

error is a key driver to increase operational
efficiency of video streams. To this end,
ADMCC, through its transformational project
with Dell EMC, aims to deploy industry-
leading, highly available and space efficient
solutions to build an advanced control centre
and manage mission critical applications,
which can monitor and analyse video
streams from surveillance cameras.
Leveraging Dell EMC ViPR Controller, storage
automation software, to optimise the
control centre will reduce human error and
the number of staff focusing on managing
the infrastructure, compared to the existing
set-up.
In addition, these scalable, secure and highly
available solutions will enable ADMCC to
meet their surveillance data needs and
simplify management of unstructured data.
This move comes in the light of enabling
government agencies to better pre-empt
and respond to emergencies and safeguard
the city’s inhabitants.
ADMCC’s advanced control centre will act
as a hub enabling the capital to develop
cutting edge capabilities of exercising
situational intelligence, such as intelligent
traffic management.
His Highness Saeed Saif Al Neyadi – Director
General at Abu Dhabi Monitoring and
Control Centre, said: “We are proud to
announce this strategic step in our journey
of innovation and sustainability. Making
a city safer and secure directly contributes
to its ‘intelligence’, hence a strong ICT
infrastructure is critical to our ability to equip
city services with new tools to improve public
services and resources.
“By leveraging Dell EMC solutions to create
an agile, highly available and space efficient
monitoring and control centre, we hope to
