Managed IT services and the business benefits of adopting the pay-as-you-go model in the region is one of the key offerings that eHosting DataFort (eHDF) will showcase during its participation at GITEX Technology Week 2011, the company announced.

Themed ‘Think Managed IT Services’, eHDF’s stand in a specialised ‘Cloud Confex’ area at GITEX 2011 will elaborate on the advantages of utilising experts and state-of-the-art IT infrastructure in order to convert capital expenditure (CAPEX) to operating expenses (OPEX), with a specific focus on reducing IT costs and the time spent on mundane IT functions.

According to representatives of eHDF, visitors can also gain insight into eHDF’s Disaster Recovery and Advisory Services including the recently launched Remote Managed Security Services offering.
