Managed IT and cyber security for regulated firms in Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Cre8 IT (Create IT) runs fully managed backup and disaster recovery for businesses in Dubai: on-premise and cloud backups, ransomware protection and a recovery plan that gets you back to work after a cyberattack, hardware failure or human error.
Securing your data is the most important investment you can make. Data can be lost in many ways, from a ransomware attack or a failed disk to a deleted folder, and the consequences for a business can be severe.
We provide backup and storage that fit your business and its obligations, on premise, in the cloud or both. We set up, host and manage your backups and write a disaster recovery plan, so your data is available whenever an incident happens.
Every set-up is tailored to how much data you have and how quickly you would need it back.
Fully managed backup and disaster recovery (BDR): we schedule, monitor and check your backups, so you do not have to.
Snapshots and separate backup copies, so encrypted or deleted files can be restored from a point before the attack.
A copy in your office for fast restores and another off-site or in the cloud, so one failure never takes everything.
Your own copy of mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, kept outside Microsoft.
A written plan for when systems go down: what is restored first, who does what and how quickly you will be back.
Retention periods and records that match your obligations, including the evidence DIFC and ADGM regulators ask for.
Data loss and IT downtime can cripple any organisation. Whether the problem is a cyberattack, a hardware failure or human error, we restore your data and systems from backup and get your business back to normal operations swiftly.
Pair backup with our cyber security services to lower the chance of needing it, or include it in an IT annual maintenance contract.
We look at what data you have, where it lives, how fast it grows and how quickly you would need it back.
We agree where copies are kept, how often backups run and how long they are retained, and write your recovery plan.
We install and configure the backups, run the first full copy and test a restore.
We monitor your backups and test restores regularly, so you know recovery will work when you need it.
We have supported businesses since 2012 from our office in Jumeirah Lake Towers, with engineers in the UAE, KSA and the UK.
For Create Group, a Dubai agency with more than 250 staff, we scaled storage from 300 TB towards petabyte scale with Synology, with on-site snapshots, off-site backup in a data centre and Microsoft 365 backup.
It depends on how much data you have, where copies are kept and how quickly you need it back. We tailor every set-up, so tell us about your systems and we will send you a free estimate.
Usually both. A local copy restores quickly, and an off-site or cloud copy protects you if the office or the local device is lost. We can host cloud copies in the UAE or the UK.
Yes, if they are set up properly. Snapshots and separate backup copies let you restore files from before the attack, and ransomware protection is part of our backup service.
Microsoft keeps the service running, but recovering deleted or encrypted data is your responsibility. A separate Microsoft 365 backup gives you your own copy of mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams.
It depends on the size of the restore and where the copy is kept. Local snapshots can often be restored in minutes, and a full recovery follows the order agreed in your disaster recovery plan.
A written plan for restoring your systems after a serious incident: what is recovered first, who is responsible and how long it should take. We write it with you and keep it up to date.
Tell us how much data you have and how quickly you would need it back, and we will recommend a backup and recovery set-up.
