As Bahrain’s businesses embrace digital transformation, the demand for secure, high-performance, and scalable networking solutions is growing. With this in mind, Northstar Telecom is responding by offering IO by HFCL, a next-generation WiFi and switching solution that provides reliable, cost-effective, and locally hosted or on-premises cloud management.
The Shift to Local Cloud Management
Traditional cloud-managed networking solutions have relied on offshore data centers, raising concerns about data security, compliance, and latency. Many Bahraini businesses are now reconsidering this model, seeking solutions that keep their critical network infrastructure within national borders.
Local cloud hosting offers significant advantages, such as data sovereignty, improved network performance, better control, and long-term cost savings. By keeping sensitive business data within Bahrain, organisations can comply with regulatory requirements while ensuring optimal network responsiveness. Furthermore, the flexibility to choose between a locally hosted cloud controller or an on-premises deployment allows businesses to customize their network management strategy according to their specific needs.
