Virtustream, Inc., the leading enterprise class cloud solutions provider, today announced the opening of new offices in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to meet growing customer demand for migrating mission critical applications to the cloud.

With the opening of new offices in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, Virtustream will continue its growth in the Middle East. The new offices will enable customers in the region to migrate easily to the cloud and they will also extend the company’s existing operations in the U.S. and Europe, while strategically adding to existing partnerships in China and Asia.

Simon Aspinall, chief vertical markets, strategy and marketing for Virtustream, commented, “The Middle East has rapidly expanding economies, a burgeoning technology scene and rapidly growing IT spend. By dedicating resources to this region, Virtustream can accelerate enterprise adoption of enterprise class clouds.”
