Case study · Private cloud hosting
Hosting business-critical systems on a UAE private cloud.
An industrial-city operator and a multi-brand food group needed dependable hosting for business-critical systems — without building and running their own data centre. Missan hosts their workloads on a UAE-based, hyperconverged private cloud.
The challenge
Business-critical systems, no data centre to run them.
Both organisations depended on virtual machines that could not go down — but neither wanted the cost, space, power and specialist staffing of building and maintaining their own server room. They needed resilient, business-grade hosting, kept in the UAE, with a local team accountable for keeping it running.
What Missan delivered
A UAE-hosted, hyperconverged private cloud.
Their workloads run on Missan's Sangfor HCI cluster, delivered and supported as a managed service.
Hosted on Missan private cloud
Their business-critical virtual machines run on Missan's Sangfor hyperconverged (HCI) private-cloud cluster, delivered as Infrastructure-as-a-Service.
UAE-hosted, locally managed
Hosting and management sit with Missan in the UAE — supporting data residency and giving the client a local team to call, not an overseas portal.
Secured and monitored
The platform is built on Missan's Sangfor security spine, with monitoring and support wrapped around the hosted workloads.
Recoverable by design
Backup and recovery are part of the service, so hosted systems can be restored to a tested plan rather than hoped back.
The outcome
Live customer virtual machines now run on Missan's UAE-hosted private cloud — predictable, managed hosting instead of a self-run data centre, secured on the Sangfor spine and backed by a local support team. As the organisations grow, capacity scales on the same platform.

Private cloud — questions
Common questions.
What is a private cloud / HCI?
Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) combines compute, storage and virtualisation into one managed stack. Hosted by Missan, it becomes a private cloud — your own dedicated, UAE-based hosting environment without building a data centre.
Is the hosting kept in the UAE?
Yes. Missan hosts and manages the platform locally in the UAE, which supports data-residency needs and gives you a local team for support and changes.
Can you move our existing servers onto it?
Yes. Missan plans and runs the migration of existing servers and virtual machines onto the private-cloud platform, with support through the change.
