Bahrain’s businesses are rapidly advancing toward more secure, high-performance, and scalable networking solutions. As digital transformation accelerates, organisations are demanding seamless, AI-driven network management, enterprise-grade security, and flexible deployment options.

 

Northstar Telecom is responding to these needs with IO by HFCL, a next-generation WiFi and switching solution designed to provide reliable, cost-effective, and locally hosted or on-premises cloud management

 

Local Cloud Management Gains Traction

Traditionally, cloud-managed networking solutions have depended on offshore data centers, leading to concerns over data security, compliance, and latency. Many Bahraini businesses are now reconsidering their approach and seeking solutions that keep their critical network infrastructure within national borders.

 

Local cloud hosting provides key advantages, including data sovereignty, improved network performance, greater control, and reduced long-term costs. By keeping sensitive business data within Bahrain, organisations can align with regulatory requirements while ensuring optimal network responsiveness. The flexibility to choose between a locally hosted cloud controller or an on-premises deployment allows businesses to tailor their network management approach according to their specific needs.
