Serving Media City
Why DMC is different

Three things media-grade IT has to get right.

Media tenants are deadline-driven. A misconfigured upload, a dropped link to the broadcast desk, a slow render share, all of these cost airtime or client confidence. Our DMC team is built around those failure modes.

High-bandwidth studio networking

10Gbps backbones for studios and post-production, 1Gbps to every desk, low-latency uplinks to clouds and CDNs. Multi-protocol storage networking on tap.

Large-file storage and shares

NAS and SAN sizing for video workloads, automated tiering between hot and cold storage, secure offsite copies for original masters.

Broadcast-grade uptime

Dual-uplink redundancy, UPS-backed studio gear, monitoring tuned for the equipment chain that gets you to air. SLA aligned to your transmission schedule.

Services tailored to Dubai Media City

Four services DMC creatives ask for most.

Lifted from DMC-specific operations across 10+ active broadcast, post-production, and creative-agency clients.

How it works

From first visit to ongoing care.

No long sales cycle. We come on site, scope the work around your production calendar, send a written proposal, then transition you in.
  1. 1

    Production scoping

    1-3 days

    Discovery call. We understand your production calendar, equipment chain, key transmission windows. Output: a sized proposal that respects your schedule.

  2. 2

    Written proposal

    3-5 days

    Network design, storage architecture, redundancy plan, written budget. Sized to your studio configuration, not a generic template.

  3. 3

    Deployment

    2-4 weeks

    Networking, storage, monitoring. Cutover scheduled in dark windows that respect your production calendar. Most studios prefer 1am-5am cutovers.

  4. 4

    Ongoing care

    Continuous

    Tickets, scheduled maintenance, firmware updates, transmission-readiness checks. We are 30 minutes from any DMC studio.

Recent projects

What we have shipped in DMC lately.

Three engagements from the last twelve months. Anonymised where commercially sensitive, full case studies available under NDA.

TV broadcast network refresh

Q1 2026. Major regional broadcaster, full studio network refresh including dual-uplink redundancy, broadcast SAN, fail-over rehearsals across three live newsroom shifts.

Post-production storage migration

Q4 2025. 50-staff post house migrated 400TB of working storage to a new tiered NAS. Zero project downtime, dailies delivered on time across the cutover.

Creative agency Mac fleet refresh

Q3 2025. 80-staff agency, full Mac fleet refresh with deployment automation, MDM, M365 + Adobe + Figma workflow, asset shares pre-migrated.

“We refreshed our entire newsroom network during a three-shift live broadcast week. GR IT scheduled the cutover in 1am-5am windows, ran fail-over rehearsals before each shift, and delivered a 6pm bulletin every day of the week without a single broadcast incident. The discipline of working around production is rare; we have not found a vendor who handles it better.”

Before you enquire

Questions about IT support in Dubai Media City.

Identify the workstations, shared storage, applications and delivery workflows that cannot be interrupted. Agree test material, maintenance windows and recovery with the production owners. Application-vendor responsibilities and storage performance requirements should be explicit before changes begin.

Our office is at Iris Bay Tower, Office 903, Business Bay, Dubai. Dubai Media City is a service area. Remote support and site attendance are scoped for the work required; this page does not represent a separate branch.

The agreed service defines hours, incident priorities, response targets and any on-site work. Share your operating hours and location before booking. A response target is different from a guaranteed resolution or arrival time.
