Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced the availability of a local cloud instance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its HPE Juniper Networking Mist AI-native networking platform.

The development brings the HPE Juniper Networking Marvis AI engine, the industry’s first Gen AI virtual assistant, closer to organisations in the Kingdom.

HPE’s networking solutions have seen significant growth in the Saudi market, driven by increasing adoption of its AI-native networking platform across multiple sectors.

Marvis provides proactive insights, automation and self-healing capabilities to support operations and improve user experience, while the unified platform covers clients’ needs from endpoint to cloud.

The introduction of a local cloud instance is expected to support continued growth across sectors including retail, healthcare, education, government and manufacturing.

“With the launch of a local Mist cloud instance in Saudi Arabia, HPE is deepening its commitment to the Kingdom’s digital future,”

said Jacob Chacko, regional director, Middle East and Africa, HPE Networking.

“This investment not only provides the capabilities for our customers to store their data locally, but also empowers organisations across various sectors, from government and healthcare to retail and manufacturing, to leverage AI-native networking at scale.”

The new microservices cloud instance offers Saudi customers and partners greater agility, resilience and scale for wireless and wired access, zero-trust network access control, indoor location services, SD-WAN/SASE, and data storage, helping enterprises and government bodies meet data privacy, compliance and regulatory requirements.

This expansion forms part of HPE’s broader commitment to providing secure, resilient and intelligent networking solutions globally.
