Huawei, a global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, announced its partnership with Bespin Global, a cloud technology consulting and management company. Through this partnership, Huawei Cloud will provide ubiquitous cloud and intelligence to Middle East enterprises.
Bespin Global has been Huawei Cloud’s strategic system integration partner globally since 2019. Under this new agreement, the companies are now extending their partnership to the Middle East, combining their capabilities to better serve the burgeoning GCC cloud market. Bespin Global’s professional services delivery capabilities, coupled with their multi-cloud management platform ‘OpsNow’, will play a strategic role in delivering the highest quality experience for Huawei Cloud’s customers.
Countries across the GCC have witnessed an acceleration in cloud adoption, primarily due to the rise in remote work. According to International Data Corporation (IDC), the GCC public cloud market is expected to more than double in value, touching $2.35 billion by 2024 at a cumulative annual growth rate of 25 per cent. In line with the growing demand for cloud services across the region, Huawei launched its cloud service in the Middle East in 2020 to provide ubiquitous cloud and intelligence for all scenarios, which includes smart public services, smart enterprise development, and smart city governance.
