Abu Dhabi Municipality Has Selected Huawei

The Abu Dhabi City Municipality (ADM) selects Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. to build an uptime tier-4 municipal DR data center.

Sustainable storage Requirements
“The sea on the left, the desert on the right,” a perfect description of Abu Dhabi’s natural environment. With millions of visitors every year, it is often, somewhat poetically, described as the bright pearl, glimmering on the south coast of the Persian Gulf.

“Supporting community happiness through the delivery of sustainable urban growth and municipal services” is the stated vision of ADM.

In the age of digital transformation, municipal data centers are key, providing not only government office services but resident information management and municipal services, too. Data centers are indispensable for community life.

However, ADM’s legacy data center setup was unable to meet future development requirements, given the influx of vast amounts of new services and a massive increase in data volume. The question of how to improve data reliability, security, and data center sustainability became an urgent focus for ADM.

Building Best DR Data Center with Huawei
Huawei FusionModule2000 was the first data center to receive Uptime tier-4 certification. Local construction engineers only needed to carry out simple on-site installation, since this modular data center is prefabricated in the factory, and it was quickly brought online and ready for use.

Indeed, FusionModule2000 adopts a modular design, supporting the sustainable development of municipal services, with flexible capacity expansion possible for a range of subsystems, from power supply to cooling and IT cabinets.

On May 6, 2020, the Uptime Insight officially awarded Uptime Tier- IV design certification to ADM’s municipal DR data center. Abu Dhabi, the pearl on the south coast of the Persian Gulf, can put its trust in the security of its reliable municipal storage.

What’s next for the future?
Ahamd Abdulsamad Alhammadi – acting director of the technical planning department, ADM, said: “Our digitalization journey with Huawei has transformed our operations, building more resilience and convenience throughout the Municipality. The tier-4 DR data center, jointly built with Huawei, fully demonstrates the industry’s most advanced solutions and impeccable customer service. We are guided in our digitalization by the vision of the UAE’s leadership to enhance our community through technology. Huawei is our partner of choice and we look forward to future cooperation with them.“
