BitTitan sees cloud migration increasing in MENA

opportunities as Digital Transformation fuels IT spending in the Middle East and Africa .
According to Gartner , the Middle East and North Africa ( MENA ) data centre market , which includes cloud services , will see spending reach US $ 5.4 billion in 2022 , driven by Digital Transformation initiatives across the region as well as growth in Internet penetration . In addition , technology experts believe that projected investment growth in data centre projects is influenced by a growing demand for higherperformance networks , increased management efficiency and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic .
“ We have seen a growing trend in mergers and divestments as a result of the changing business dynamics brought about by the pandemic . Our data on migration project types in Americas and Europe have shown that this leads to increased activity and the trend is only growing . This will be a regular scenario soon in the Middle East as migrations do not stop after clients have been moved to the cloud ,” said Antti Ålander , Channel Manager – EMEA , BitTitan .
