Local know-how
IT Work for Studios in Dubai Media City
Agencies and production teams here judge IT by one thing: can they deliver files on deadline. We plan networks, storage links and edit suite cabling around how footage and artwork move through the office.
- Edit suites needing faster linksStandard office cabling tops out at one gigabit, which slows 4K editing from shared storage. We run faster links between edit stations and storage where the building allows.
- Footage archives and offsite copiesFinished projects pile up on drives on a shelf. We set up an archive plan with a second copy offsite or in the cloud, so old jobs stay retrievable.
- Sending large files to clientsEmail cannot carry rushes or final masters. We set up secure transfer links from your own storage so clients download without third party accounts.
- Creative app licencesAdobe and other subscriptions tied to leavers' emails cause lockouts. We move licences to company accounts and reassign seats as freelancers come and go.
- Live streams and broadcast uplinksLive events need an upload line that does not share bandwidth with the office. We set up a dedicated connection or priority rules for streaming days.
- Noisy kit near sound boothsServers and switches placed beside recording rooms spoil the audio. We move noisy equipment into a ventilated rack away from studios and run cabling to it.
Practical guide
Getting IT work done in Dubai Media City
Media City offices sit in managed towers and low rise blocks, and most cannot stop production for an IT visit. Here is how we work around that.
- 01Booking around deadlines and shoots
Agencies and studios have pitch days, edit deadlines and live shoots, and none of those can stop for a network change. Tell us your quiet windows when you book. We do disruptive work then, and keep fault calls short and quiet so the team next to us keeps working.
- 02Tower parking and tram access
The business towers have visitor parking that fills early, while the low rise buildings around the park mostly rely on surface bays. We aim for mid morning or after 2pm unless you need us sooner. For a quick Mac or email fix we can arrive by tram with a tool bag.
- 03Free zone passes and reception desks
Media City is a TECOM free zone, and many buildings issue visitor passes only once the tenant confirms the visit. Send us the building and floor when you book, and let reception know our name. If your building needs a work permit for cabling or ceiling work, we prepare the paperwork.
- 04Prepare logins and file lists
Have the admin logins for your NAS, router and Apple or Microsoft accounts, or know who holds them. For storage jobs, tell us roughly how many terabytes of footage you keep and how fast it grows. For a slow network complaint, note which machines and which times are worst.

Most requested
Most requested in Dubai Media City
Creative teams ask for storage, Macs and backups far more than typical offices do. These four services make up most of our Media City work.
- Synology NAS setup
Video and design teams outgrow external drives fast and need one shared pool every editor can open. We size a Synology with the right drives and connect it over 10GbE where the edit suites need it. Snapshots mean a deleted project comes back.
- MacBook support
Many desks in a Media City agency are Macs, and plenty of IT providers only support Windows. We set up MacBooks, fix macOS, storage and account problems, connect them to the NAS and Microsoft 365, and manage them alongside the PCs.
- Server backup and disaster recovery
A production house that loses its project drive loses months of client work. We set up versioned backups to a second NAS or the cloud and test a restore. Then we write down the steps to get back to work.
- SSD and RAM upgrade
Older iMacs, Mac minis and Windows workstations in edit and design rooms slow to a crawl on spinning drives and 8GB of memory. Where the model allows it, an SSD and more RAM cost far less than a new machine and make exports noticeably faster.

Problems we solve
Creative Team IT Problems We Fix in Dubai Media City
Most problems we see here come from networks built for email, not video. These are the complaints we hear from agencies and studios, and how we deal with them.
- !Our render machine shuts down halfway through a job
Our fixWorkstations under full load overheat in small rooms with weak air conditioning. We clean fans, check cooling and power, and move the machine where it gets proper airflow.
- !The client says our download link expired again
Our fixConsumer file sharing links expire or hit size limits. We set up a transfer system on your own storage with longer links, passwords and download notices.
- !Fonts go missing when files move between machines
Our fixDesigners install fonts one by one on their own Macs. We set up a shared font library so every machine opens the same file the same way.
- !A freelancer still has access to our drive
Our fixTemporary staff get accounts that never expire. We review shared storage and cloud accounts, remove old access and set end dates on future freelancer accounts.
- !The NAS is full and we don't know what to delete
Our fixOld projects and duplicate exports eat storage. We report usage by folder, archive finished jobs to cheaper storage and set quotas so the space lasts longer.
QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you genuinely comfortable with Macs?
Yes, macOS support is a real specialty, not a tolerated afterthought: installs and upgrades, performance rescues, storage solutions, migrations, and Macs integrated properly with office servers and Microsoft 365.
Can you build storage for our video and design files?
Yes, NAS systems sized for media workflows: fast shared project space, sensible archive tiers, and backup that protects footage and artwork that can’t be reshot or redrawn.
Our shared drive is slow when everyone's working, fixable?
Usually, yes, the bottleneck is typically network speed or an under-specified NAS rather than fate. We diagnose which and fix the actual constraint, from cabling to storage upgrades.
Can you support a mixed Mac and Windows office?
Fluently, unified file sharing, printing, Wi-Fi, and Microsoft 365 across both platforms is standard work for us in Media City.
How fast can you respond mid-project?
Remote triage within minutes, on-site the same day, often within hours. Agencies on our AMC plans get priority scheduling for exactly these moments.
Do you help individual freelancers in the community?
Yes, MacBook repairs and upgrades, storage and backup setups, and honest one-visit help without any contract required.
Can you set up a network for a temporary production office or a shoot?
Yes. We set up a compact router, switch and access point bought or hired for the job. It connects to the venue internet or a 5G router. The crew gets a private network with shared storage for the day. When the job wraps we pack it up. Book a few days ahead so we can check the venue.
Can editors pull files from the office NAS when they work from home?
Yes, with two options. A VPN into the office gives them the same shared drive they use at their desk, limited by your office upload speed. For big files we usually add a sync tool on the NAS so the project folder copies to their machine overnight.
Can you upgrade our old iMacs and MacBooks instead of replacing them?
Sometimes. Intel iMacs and older MacBook Pros with removable storage or memory take an SSD or extra RAM and feel new again. Newer Apple silicon machines have everything soldered, so those cannot be upgraded. Send us the model and year and we tell you straight away which ones are worth doing.
Can you set up our meeting room so client video calls work first time?
Yes. A pitch room needs a wired connection, a camera and microphone the room PC recognises, and screen sharing that works without hunting for cables. We set up the room PC or a Teams Rooms device, fix the audio and label the one button people press. Then we test a call with you.
