As Bahrain’s businesses accelerate their digital transformation, there is a growing demand for more secure, high-performance, and scalable networking solutions. To meet these needs, Northstar Telecom is introducing IO by HFCL, a next-generation WiFi and switching solution designed to deliver reliable, cost-effective, and locally hosted or on-premises cloud management.
The Shift Toward Local Cloud Management
Traditionally, cloud-managed networking solutions relied on offshore data centers, raising concerns about data security, compliance, and latency. As a result, many Bahraini businesses are seeking alternatives that keep critical network infrastructure within the country’s borders. Local cloud hosting offers key advantages such as data sovereignty, improved network performance, greater control, and reduced long-term costs. By keeping sensitive business data within Bahrain, companies can meet regulatory requirements while ensuring optimal network responsiveness. Additionally, businesses have the flexibility to choose between a locally hosted cloud controller or an on-premises deployment, tailoring their network management approach to their specific needs.

Additionally, Category 6 (Cat 6) Ethernet cabling and fiber uplinks provide high-speed, low-latency data transmission over long distances, making them ideal for various business environments.
