Cloud & DevOps Company in Abu Dhabi

Cloud engagements here are priced off data classification first and headcount second, because CCRF tiering decides which providers and which regions are even permissible. Four shapes are common: a scoped cloud assessment and landing zone design at Abu Dhabi rates, a production multi-account landing zone with full IaC, GitOps, observability, secrets management, and FinOps in AED, an ADNOC-grade hybrid IT and OT cloud programme with IEC 62443 zone segmentation, OT visibility on Claroty or Nozomi, and SAP S4HANA migration to Azure UAE North, or a Hub71 fintech FSRA operational resilience cloud build. Scope drivers include CCRF classification, residency map, IEC 62443 segmentation review for OT, and a Terraform or OpenTofu skeleton. We give fixed-fee proposals in AED rather than open T and M estimates.

The UAE Cloud Computing Regulatory Framework (CCRF), issued by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), classifies data and workloads into four tiers: public, confidential, sensitive, and secret. Each tier maps to permissible hosting choices. Public data can sit on any hyperscaler. Confidential data typically must remain in UAE regions (AWS me-central-1, Azure UAE North, G42 Cloud, Etisalat e& Cloud, du Cloud). Sensitive data has additional encryption and access control requirements and usually requires sovereign or UAE-regulated hosting. Secret data is restricted to UAE-controlled infrastructure with strict segmentation, typically G42 Cloud or Etisalat e& Cloud for federal entities. Our discovery phase classifies every data set against CCRF, produces a residency map, and signs the design off before any landing zone is built. ADGM tenants get an additional ADGM Data Protection Regulations 2021 layer.

Yes. G42 Cloud offers Abu Dhabi-native sovereign infrastructure with NVIDIA H100 and H200 GPU inventory, Jais and Falcon model serving through Inception, and Microsoft Azure interconnect under the 2024 Microsoft and G42 partnership. We build sovereign AI inference clusters on G42 GPUs using Triton Inference Server or vLLM for high-throughput serving, NVIDIA NIM containers for prepackaged model deployments, and Ray or SLURM for distributed training. Falcon and Falcon Mamba self-hosting, Jais fine-tuning with LoRA or QLoRA on client Arabic corpora, and routing layers that split traffic between sovereign on G42 and cross-border on Azure UAE North or AWS Bedrock with documented PDPL transfer assessments are all in scope. MBZUAI and TII research compute patterns inform our SLURM and Slurm-on-Kubernetes scheduling for shared GPU pools.

IEC 62443 is the global standard for industrial automation and control systems cyber security, and ADNOC requires strict zone and conduit segmentation between corporate IT, DMZ, supervisory, control, and process zones. We design hybrid landing zones where the cloud side terminates at a tightly controlled DMZ with unidirectional gateways (Waterfall, Owl) or one-way data diodes where the safety classification requires them. AWS IoT SiteWise, Azure IoT Hub, or self-hosted MQTT brokers on G42 Cloud handle upstream telemetry ingest, with Claroty or Nozomi providing OT-aware visibility inside the segmented zones. Engineering workstations stay on dedicated subnets with no general internet egress. Safety Instrumented Systems under IEC 61511 remain physically separated from the cloud path. Evidence packages survive ADNOC internal audit and aeCERT incident reporting.

Abu Dhabi FinOps has to handle AED billing with 5 percent VAT, multi-cloud cost allocation across G42 Cloud, AWS me-central-1, Azure UAE North, and Etisalat e& Cloud, and concentration risk reporting that Mubadala and ADQ portfolio operators expect quarterly. We use AWS Cost Explorer and Cost and Usage Reports, Azure Cost Management, GCP Billing exports, and G42 Cloud invoices into a unified BigQuery, Snowflake, or Databricks SQL warehouse on AWS me-central-1 with PDPL-compliant residency. Showback and chargeback dashboards in Looker, Metabase, or Power BI surface AED-denominated cost per tenant, per product, per environment. Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and Azure Reservations are sized on three-month rolling utilisation with quarterly true-up. VAT reclaim handling matches FTA requirements so the Finance team does not chase invoices.

Yes. Aldar Properties, Etihad Airways, and several Mubadala portfolio operators run SAP S4HANA on Azure UAE North under the SAP on Azure reference architecture, with HANA Large Instances or M-series and Mv2-series Azure VMs for the HANA database tier. We deliver the migration with SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) for data replication, AzCopy and Azure Data Box for bulk transfer, Azure Site Recovery for cutover orchestration, and Azure Backup with HANA System Replication for HA and DR across UAE North availability zones. ADNOC and Mubadala-grade procurement requires SAP-certified partners on the engagement, and we work with those partners on the SAP-specific layer while owning the Azure landing zone, networking (ExpressRoute to Etisalat e& or du), identity (Entra ID federation), and FinOps. Cross-border DR uses Azure Switzerland North or Azure West Europe with a documented PDPL transfer assessment.

DR for UAE-resident workloads has to balance residency against availability. Within-region DR uses AWS me-central-1 across availability zones, Azure UAE North across availability zones, or G42 Cloud across data centres for routine HA. Cross-region DR inside the GCC uses MEEZA in Qatar, du Cloud across UAE sites, or Etisalat e& Cloud for federal entities, with a documented data sharing arrangement between UAE and Qatar under the GCC Data Protection Regulations alignment. Where the workload classification permits, cross-region DR to Azure Switzerland North or AWS eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) is used with a PDPL transfer assessment and standard contractual clauses. RPO and RTO targets are negotiated against CCRF tier: secret-tier workloads typically stay UAE-only with within-region DR, while public-tier and confidential-tier workloads can use international DR with controls.

A landing zone build with multi-account or multi-subscription, IaC, GitOps, observability, and CCRF residency map ships in twelve to twenty weeks at AED 480,000 to AED 1.6M. A Hub71 fintech FSRA-aligned cloud build ships in eight to fourteen weeks at AED 380,000 to AED 1.4M. ADNOC-grade hybrid IT and OT cloud migration with SAP S4HANA on Azure UAE North, IEC 62443 segmentation, and Claroty or Nozomi OT visibility ships in nine to eighteen months at AED 1.8M to AED 7M. Mubadala or ADQ portfolio multi-account estate consolidation with concentration risk reporting ships in six to twelve months at AED 1.4M to AED 4.5M. Timelines include the realistic procurement, security review, and FSRA or CSC engagement cycles that sovereign-adjacent buyers run, which often consume four to ten weeks pure engineering plans miss.
