VOWTECH helps UAE businesses decide what belongs in the cloud and then moves it there carefully — Microsoft 365 and business email, private cloud hosting, cloud backup and disaster recovery, and virtualization — with migration planned in advance and questions about data location answered before anything is moved.
Moving to the cloud is not a single decision. Email and file sharing are usually better off in a public cloud service such as Microsoft 365, where the provider runs the platform. A specialised accounting or engineering application may run better on a private server you control. Backups belong somewhere other than the building they protect. Most businesses end up with a sensible mixture of all three.
VOWTECH, based in Abu Dhabi and serving Dubai and businesses across the UAE, covers each part of that mixture: Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online for email and collaboration, private cloud services for workloads that need dedicated resources, and virtualization to make better use of the server hardware you already own.
Whichever direction you take, two questions deserve an answer before migration begins: how will this data be backed up, and how would we recover if the service or site were lost? Our cloud backup and disaster recovery service addresses both, and once systems are in the cloud they can be looked after under our managed IT services.
Each model has a place. The choice depends on the application, the data involved and how much control you need.
Subscription services run by the provider and used over the internet. There is no hardware to buy or maintain, and staff can work from any location with a connection and the right credentials.
Dedicated virtual servers reserved for your company, reached securely by your staff. It behaves like your own server room without the room, and suits applications that cannot simply be replaced by a subscription.
A combination: some systems on your premises, some in a private cloud and some as public cloud services, joined by secure connections and a single sign-in so users do not notice the boundaries.
Each service can stand alone, but they are most effective when planned together.
Tenant setup, domain and mail flow configuration, mailbox migration from an existing mail system, shared mailboxes, Teams and SharePoint structure, and security settings such as multi-factor authentication.
Virtual servers provisioned for your applications, with secure remote access for staff, resource sizing based on how the system is really used, and room to add capacity as you grow.
Servers, computers and cloud mailboxes are backed up to an off-site cloud repository on a schedule, encrypted in transit and at rest, with restores tested so you know the backup works.
Replication of critical servers to a second location, so that systems can be started there if the primary site is lost. Built on technologies such as Veeam backup and disaster recovery.
With virtualization, several virtual servers run on one physical host, which reduces hardware, makes backup and recovery simpler and is the usual stepping stone between ageing physical servers and a private cloud.
An inventory of what you run today, a decision for each system on where it should live, a sequence that limits disruption and a fallback for every step in case it does not go to plan.
Migrations go wrong when they are rushed. Ours follow five stages and nothing is switched off until its replacement is proven.
We list your applications, data volumes, users and dependencies, and note what each system needs to run well.
For each system we agree where it will live and where its data will be stored, with your obligations in mind.
A small group of users or a single non-critical system is moved first to prove the method.
Remaining users and systems move in planned batches, normally outside working hours, with a fallback ready.
Backup of the new environment is confirmed, staff questions are handled and old systems are retired safely.
The cloud removes some responsibilities and leaves others firmly with you. We make sure you know which is which.
Not everything belongs in the cloud. We say so when a system is better left where it is.
Cloud services are resilient, but deleted or corrupted data is still your problem. Backup is planned from the first day.
Where data will be stored is agreed at the planning stage, not discovered afterwards.
