Moro Hub, the digital subsidiary of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), has unveiled a prospective partnership with SAP, a global frontrunner in cloud computing. The aim is to introduce SAP’s public cloud services to Moro Hub’s groundbreaking Green Data Centre, which stands as the largest solar-powered facility of its kind worldwide, nestled within the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
This landmark development paves the way for both public and private sector entities in the UAE to diminish their ecological impact by harnessing SAP’s cloud solutions hosted by Moro Hub. According to HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the Managing Director and CEO of DEWA, this initiative aligns with the vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who champions the adoption of sustainable computing technologies in the United Arab Emirates.
He highlighted that the potential integration of SAP’s public cloud offerings into Moro Hub’s zero-carbon data center in Dubai offers a unique opportunity for public and private sector organizations in the UAE to reduce their environmental footprint and contribute to a sustainable future. This strategic move harmonizes seamlessly with the UAE’s unwavering commitment to sustainable development, highlighting the pivotal role of technology in advancing this agenda.
Sergio Maccotta, Senior Vice President of SAP Middle East and Africa – South, expressed that Moro Hub’s data center operates entirely on renewable energy and the collaboration with SAP will empower organizations throughout the Emirates to bolster their operations with SAP’s environmentally focused solutions.
SAP, Digital DEWA, and Moro Hub collectively believe that a focus on sustainability presents an avenue for companies to enhance their efficiency, improve current operations, and tap into potential opportunities through innovative business models.
