eHosting DataFort, the leading organisation in comprehensive management of IT infrastructure, announced its strategic partnership with SCHNABEL AG, a Frankfurt-based engineering firm specializing in data center planning and security concepts.
The partnership agreement was recently signed by Dr. Saeed Al Barwani, CEO of eHosting DataFort, and Harry SCHNABEL, Executive Director and founder of SCHNABEL AG.
“SCHNABEL AG represents expertise and knowledge from over three decades as a leading player in the European market,” said Dr. Saeed. “In teaming up with them, we consolidate eHosting DataFort’s position as the first and only company in the market to offer a full range of managed services across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”
“Due to the growing sophistication of the ICT sector in MENA and the internationalization of communication services, the demand for data center consulting services has grown as well,” said SCHNABEL. “As a result, we have entered into a strategic partnership with eHosting DataFort, to support their operations in MENA and to extend their reach into Europe.”
Schnabel AG is a leading German data centre consulting, planning and engineering firm with a branch office in Dubai. Its customer base includes telecom companies, banks and insurance companies, energy utilities, as well as internet service providers and data processing companies.

About SCHNABEL:
In 1973, Harry SCHNABEL founded EDV Technik SCHNABEL GmbH. His long experience in the planning and implementation of technical environments for data centers quickly led to the development and utilization of new fields of business and to a continuous growth in both business volume as well as number of employees. Because of the development of the European economy and the internationalization of communication services, the company's activities expanded beyond the borders of Germany. As a suitable reaction to this development, the company was transformed into a joint stock company during 1997 SCHNABEL AG, which today is jointly managed by board members Harry SCHNABEL, Ulrich Terrahe and Berthold Birkelbach.
