Datamena, a subsidiary of Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC or du), was awarded the Excellence in Regional Data Centre Connectivity award at Data Center Dynamics Middle East 2017 (DCD Middle East) in Dubai, UAE.

A certificate of excellence was awarded to Datamena for its work in delivering on-demand connectivity in the Middle East. Datamena deployed the Infiny by Epsilon on-demand connectivity platform in March to give its partner and customers direct access to world-leading Cloud service providers and destinations around the world.

It can use the self-service platform to procure port-to-port, port-to-Cloud, port-to-Internet Exchange, SIP Trunking and last mile DIA and SD-WAN services.

Fahad Al Hassawi, chief commercial officer, du, said, “We are proud to be recognised by Data Center Dynamics for our work in delivering on-demand connectivity in the Middle East. Deploying Infiny by Epsilon has been an important step forward for the Datamena platform and our vision for Cloud enablement. On-demand connectivity delivers the agility and scalability to maximise the potential of the Cloud. It is a key addition to our platform and a first for the Middle East.”
