Maxcom has partnered with Dell Technology and VMware to hold a multi-vendor tech event in Male'.
The forum, held at Hotel Jen on Wednesday, is an annual event to provide Maxcom's clients with comprehensive information on Dell brand computer and networking products and VMware software.
This is the first time the company has held the forum since the Covid-19 pandemic. Over 80 representatives from Maldives' largest businesses and companies took part in the forum.
Maxcom's Chief Technology Officer, Ahmed Sibah told Adhadhu the information was provided by Dell technology and VMware experts.
He said the forum was an opportunity to find solutions for the problems faced by clients.
Noting that 80 percent of the IT infrastructure in the country is Dell technology products, Sibah said it is important for clients to replace outdated products as a safety measure.
He added that clients will be informed of VMware solutions to avoid attacks such as ransomware.
"Not only businesses, but a national level threat is also very likely because we have outdated equipment. And especially in such a politically motivated time, it is possible that something like that could happen," Sibah said.
Individual sessions are planned for clients with experts and engineers from Dell Technology and VMware after the forum concludes.
Maxcom forum also features a special lucky draw among the participants. The first prize is a Huawei laptop and the second prize is a Huawei smart watch. The third prize is a Huawei Buds headset.
