Clouds
The Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group (ESAG), one of the UAE’s most established and diversified family businesses, was founded in 1960 and today comprises over 30 companies across a wide range of industries. With high-profile joint ventures including Siemens, Unilever, and Akzo Nobel, ESAG has expanded its presence through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. To support its evolving operational needs and drive scalability, the Group transitioned from a resource-intensive on-premises data centre to AWS Cloud, using Orixcom CloudConnect solution with Orixcom SD-WAN to ensure a secure, seamless, and high-performance migration.
