eHosting Datafort wins American Express business recovery contract

eHosting DataFort (EHDF), a subsidiary of the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone and a Middle East provider of managed hosting, security and disaster recovery services, has announced the signing of an agreement with American Express (AMEX). EHDF will provide disaster recovery and business continuity services for AMEX’s activities in the Middle East region.

“Businesses like American Express, which are heavily dependent on IT systems, always need a back-up in case of unforeseen interruptions or disasters and to ensure their continuous superior level of service to their customers in the region,” said Sameer Sadeh, EHDF’s CEO. “EHDF can provide AMEX with service level guarantees that were previously not available in this region, helping them to ensure the highest possible level of business continuity.”

Under the agreement, EHDF will provide American Express with work-area recovery facilities as well as disaster recovery solution design, consultancy, installation and management support.

“eHosting DataFort is one of the market leaders in the Middle East, not only do they have an excellent understanding of our business needs, but they offered a tailor made solution to meet our needs; we are confident about the quality of the service provided,” said Trevor Stokes, American Express. “This agreement helps us to ensure that our customers will have continuous access to their accounts in a secure matter even in the event of a disaster.”
