The Sharjah Court was built in 2006, and since that time there has been a huge increase in the volume of transactions every day. With over 1000 people accessing legal services, 1045 notary service transactions, and 66 cases being filed per day, bottlenecks were beginning to develop in the network before the upgrade. MoJ’s system had experienced downtime and the applications running on it had become sluggish. Additionally, most of MoJ’s network traffic was being routed through a data center in Abu Dhabi which, from a networking point of view, was important to offload part of this traffic to the Sharjah site. All of this necessitated an overhaul of the data center.
