In the era of digital technology, we have become highly dependent on maximizing the use of infrastructure solutions for technology, artificial intelligence solutions, deep education, cloud computing, and finding solutions to many of the problems that civil societies suffer from. ? And what are its most important requirements? and its advantages? And its goals? Is it limited only to social groups that have a lot of money? Is it limited only to the new urban communities and has nothing to do with the current cities? And how can the technology and electrical network infrastructure solutions platform provided by Panduit, the global infrastructure solution for technological and electrical networks and data centers, contribute strongly to meeting the needs of business enterprises in the Middle East and Africa.
In order to answer these questions, “Alam Rakamy” had this meeting with Abdullah Halim, Director of Business Development at Panduit International, on the sidelines of its annual conference, “Panduit EMEA Press Conference,” which was held by Panduit in cooperation with its Egyptian partner Trident Technologies under the slogan "Innovations for Secure and Reliable IT and Industry Infrastructure" in the presence of the company's senior executives in Frankfurt, Germany, and a number of journalists specializing in information technology from Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Technology Specification
At the outset, we must clarify that “smart cities” are any society that can employ technology in a way that allows it to achieve its services in an electronic way that facilitates the lives of its citizens. Hence, it needs to create a technological environment that provides wire and wireless communications, and the development of an information and communication technology strategy, and innovative services. Smart Cities Access to any application, and control multiple functions at the touch of a button, noting that the Emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is the best model for optimal employment of technological solutions and environmental infrastructure solutions in order to reach more sustainable and developed cities.
He added that services in smart cities depend on information and communication technology infrastructure, such as automated intelligent traffic systems, advanced security management services, building management systems, the use of automation in offices and homes, the use of meters for billing and reports, and innovative solutions to water, energy, safety, and transportation problems. ICT is an essential component for accelerating urban life, and a tool for enabling innovative solutions to issues linked to urbanization trends, which will bring more people to live in the big cities of the future.
Innovative solutions for digitization
He explained that the world has witnessed a major transformation in the past years in terms of adopting different and innovative technical solutions, as governments, especially in the Middle East, are working and led by Egypt, which has our local partner, Trident, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, through the development of strategies to raise the level of The lives of its citizens by shifting to smart cities, investing in ICT infrastructure and digital transformation, towards adopting cloud services, as users need innovative solutions for this infrastructure and providing a wireless connection to the Internet at high speeds that make the process of sending data to the Internet, processing it in the cloud, and displaying the results on the user’s device It seems like an instant process, in order to create useful experiences for users in all areas of daily life, and this is what Panduit has succeeded in providing over the past years.
Cloud Computing
He added that the “Smartzone UPS” solution platform launched by Panduit is part of the smart data center solutions based on unified physical infrastructure, which includes the next wave of systems integration and risk management by achieving combination and compatibility between critical platforms in order to support the ability to connect data and services Safe, energy-saving and continuous in real time. The mainstays of Panduit's smart data center solution include data center consulting services, energy efficient cabins, Smartzone cloud Devices, and KVA devices.
Wireless networks will connect everything together, and cloud networks will be the source of intelligence technologies in the near future, and cloud services must focus on developing the experiences of individuals more than companies, as they will connect them to servers that open up the horizons of artificial intelligence for all their upcoming applications with ease, and the architecture must be Infrastructure is open to all developers to ensure its spread.
