Cloud Accelerate Summit and Awards brings into focus cloud adoption trends in region

The Cloud Accelerate Summit and Awards, organised by CXODX.com and Leap Media Solutions, witnessed a grand finale with the Awards ceremony held at the Habtoor Palace hotel in Dubai, following a virtual summit earlier in the day.

The summit brought to the fore various aspects around the adoption trends of the cloud in the region and these were discussed at length through a series of panel discussions and keynotes with participation from industry experts. The event highlighted the role of the cloud as a key enabler and accelerator of the much needed digital transformation more extensively since the pandemic began.

R. Narayan, Co-Founder and editor in chief of Leap Media Solutions and www.cxodx.com said, “Organisations are now much more confident of cloud adoption, boosted by the arrival of regional datacenters set up by the large public cloud providers. An increasing number of organisations now follow a cloud first policy as far as IT investments go.”

The in-person awards ceremony gala event at the Habtoor Palace hotel in Dubai was an occasion to recognise and celebrate those who have taken the lead in adopting cloud as part of their digital transformation initiatives. The event also recognised solutions providers who are facilitating cloud adoption more extensively with their leading edge solutions and go to market strategies.

Saumyadeep Halder, Co-Founder and MD of Leap Media Solutions said, “The Pandemic has played a key role in helping accelerate cloud adoption. We have been privileged to hand over awards to those who have been championing cloud adoption in their organisations along with other categories of recognition for the industry.”

Mallika Rego, Co-Founder and Director, Client Relations at Leap Media Solutions said, "We are happy to hold such industry events that provide a platform to hold constructive industry discussions and provide exchange of expert insights. This event follows the earlier Future Workspace Transfromation Awards held in July and we intend to bring more such events in 2022."

The event’s platinum sponsors were NetApp, Logicom, Site24x7, Dell Technologies and Ingram Micro. The gold sponsors of the event included Team Viewer, Finesse, D-Link, Intel, Lenovo, Pure Storage, Exclusive Networks, Sophos and Mindfire Technologies. Acronis was the Silver partner.
