In other news, MyCrane, the Dubai-based
digital disrupter for cranes and construction equipment has announced plans to launch the world’s first online crane rental platform in key Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets including Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. MyCrane’s crane rental service allows
users to save time and money by entering details of their lifting requirements on a web portal. Registered crane rental companies can then respond with their commercial offers for users to choose from. The platform also offers a variety of other services including engineering support, a free-to-use tool to identify the right crane for the lift, and a marketplace to post equipment, rigging equipment, spare parts, auxiliaries and industry vacancies. The company’s franchise rights in Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia were acquired by Singapore-based Allan Taylor. “We are delighted to welcome Allan at a
time of great opportunity for those serving the thriving cranes and construction industry in Asia. APAC is often seen as an exciting region for business development and with good reason,” said Andrei Geikalo, CEO, MyCrane. Over the upcoming years, APAC countries are forecasted to offer major opportunities for crane operators, particularly with the construction sector in Indonesia expected to record over 7.2% growth in 2022 surpassing pre-pandemic output levels, according to GlobalData. The Indonesian government has
allocated $27.1bn for infrastructure development, including six new airports, 6,624 kilometres of railway and 205 kilometres of road. Taylor said he is looking forward to helping equipment suppliers in the three

countries to “increase the utilisation of their fleets, while also working with contractors to help them save time and money on the crane procurement process.” The MyCrane platform is currently
operational in the UK, UAE, Oman, India, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. HashiCorp, multi-cloud infrastructure
automation software, says its HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) is also now available in Asia-Pacific and Japan. HashiCorp Consul, Vault, and Packer are
available as managed service offerings for organizations across the APJ region, with hosting sites in Australia and Singapore. HashiCorp currently provides three
products on its cloud platform. HCP Consul, a cloud service networking and service mesh offering; HCP Vault, a cloud security automation product; and HCP Packer, a multi-cloud build management product. Each solution is offered as a fully managed service operated and supported by HashiCorp experts, designed to help reduce the operational burden for enterprises and accelerate their transition to the cloud. “Running applications on cloud
infrastructure helps enterprises transform their businesses, but creates challenges from infrastructure complexity, skills shortages, and the new types of security
threats they face,” said Armon Dadgar, co- founder and CTO of HashiCorp. “Our customers and community in
Asia-Pacific have been asking us for help to make it easier to get started with and to operate our products.
“With the HashiCorp Cloud Platform,
we do the heavy lifting for them, making it much simpler for customers to get up and running with our products. We expect HCP to help organizations across the region to more quickly achieve their digital transformation initiatives.” For enterprises working to deliver the business value of cloud but struggling with these skills and staffing shortages, HashiCorp products on HCP are designed to minimize operational burden, and allow organizations to focus on feature delivery and subsequently deliver more value to the business faster. “We are pleased to support HCP Consul and HCP Vault on AWS,” said Deepak Singh, VP, compute services, Amazon Web Services. “Customers can immediately realize automation benefits with HCP Consul, a production-ready, fully managed service mesh solution, which help users to connect and secure connections between AWS workloads faster and with fewer resources via push-button deployment of fully managed clusters pre-configured for development and production.” ●
