Dubai Investments is the largest investment company publicly traded on the Dubai stock market. In the year 2007, a scalable, secure and high performance data centre was set up with the intention of subsequently connecting all the subsidiaries. For those remote sites which could not be connected via the Internet (IP or VPN) on account of huge data traffic, it was decided to connect through an MPLS network.
