Cloud Providers in the Middle East
Cloud providers form the foundation on which the entire regional ecosystem rests. Their physical presence in the region determines latency, regulatory compliance and local companies’ ability to process sensitive data.
Since 2019, the major global players have opened regions in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Regional operators and sovereign offerings round out this landscape for public administrations and regulated sectors.
For a regional decision-maker, the determining factor is no longer service availability, but the exact location of the data and the legal regime that applies to it.
