MEEZA

Managed IT services from Qatar

MEEZA is a managed IT services and solutions company based in Qatar. It operates as a joint venture with Qatar Foundation, and it describes its aim as becoming the foremost managed IT provider in the Middle East and North Africa. The company says its work helps accelerate the growth of Qatar and the region, and that it offers careers in the IT industry to Qatari people and others across the region.

Three certified data centers

MEEZA runs three Tier III certified data centers, known as M-VAULT 2, M-VAULT 3 and M-VAULT 5. The company says they offer a guaranteed uptime of 99.98 percent and are built to meet demanding international standards. M-VAULT 2 holds LEED Platinum certification for its design and M-VAULT 3 holds LEED Gold. Together the sites support hosting, cloud services and disaster recovery, with the company describing a network of geographically separate facilities that can keep a client's services running if one site fails.

Security monitoring and operations

A centralized command and control center watches the company's services and works to optimize them for clients. MEEZA says it operates the first commercial security operations center in Qatar, from which it provides round-the-clock alerts and notifications. Its advanced security monitoring service is staffed by certified security professionals, who deliver regular reports on the progress of incidents and analyze trends over time across a client's critical assets. The company says the service helps clients mitigate digital and cyber threats.

Cloud, managed services and integration

MEEZA's offer also covers managed IT services, in which it runs a client's systems day to day, and cloud services for business customers. It is building a role as a systems integrator, with a growing body of work on smart cities and the Internet of Things. The company says that outsourcing to it lets clients focus on their core business, scale quickly and reduce the capital they spend on IT, while improving their protection against business risk.

Organizations across Qatar and the Gulf

MEEZA's customers are organizations in Qatar and across the Gulf region. Its data centers and disaster recovery services are described as a foundation for businesses that need resilient infrastructure within the region, and its security operations are aimed at organizations that require constant monitoring of critical assets and infrastructure.
