UAE-based cloud and managed IT service provider BIOS Middle East has established a new cloud footprint in Muscat in order to serve customers in the Sultanate.
Muscat’s new cloud footprint joins previous ones in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, and Jeddah, creating the Middle East’s first truly Region-wide Cloud. As a result of the move, the UAE’s leading cloud services provider now offers broader digital transformation services across the GCC region.
