NourNet and Nutanix Sign Strategic MoU at GITEX to Redefine Hybrid Cloud in KSA
We are pleased to announce that NourNet signed an MoU with Nutanix during GITEX to serve the public and enterprise sectors in KSA with next-generation cloud and DR services, a great addition to our multi-cloud model that we have been serving our clients with.
NourNet CEO Amjad A. Hafez, said: “We are glad to sign this MoU with our strategic partner Nutanix, we both put our efforts together into serving the Saudi market with next-generation hybrid cloud services as we are on a mission to drive digital innovation and offer a wider range of localized cloud solutions to meet public and enterprise sectors’ demands within the Kingdom.”
The Power of Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)
The core of the NourNet-Nutanix partnership lies in Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI). Traditionally, data centers relied on separate silos for compute, storage, and networking, which created complexity and latency. Nutanix collapses these silos into a single, software-defined platform. This allows Saudi organizations to:
- Simplify Operations: Manage the entire IT stack through a “single pane of glass” via Nutanix Prism.
- Scale Linearly: Add nodes seamlessly as business demand grows, avoiding the massive upfront costs of traditional hardware.
- Reduce Energy Consumption: Nutanix HCI can reduce data center energy footprints by up to 27%, directly supporting the sustainability goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
Next-Gen Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity
For the public and financial sectors, downtime is not an option. NourNet leverages Nutanix’s Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) capabilities to offer localized, high-availability solutions. This partnership enables:
- Zero-Downtime Migration: Moving workloads between on-premises environments and NourNet’s local cloud with minimal disruption.
- Automated Failover: In the event of a site failure, critical applications are automatically restarted in a secure, secondary NourNet data center.
- Snapshot Replication: Real-time data protection that ensures data integrity and meets the strict SAMA and NCA recovery point objectives (RPO).
Unlocking Cloud Freedom and Data Sovereignty
As a Leading Digital Transformation Enabler, NourNet provides a “Sovereign Cloud” experience. While global hyperscalers offer scale, NourNet and Nutanix offer local residency. All data hosted through this partnership remains within the borders of Saudi Arabia, fully compliant with the CST Class (B) registration. This gives government agencies and private enterprises the “Cloud Freedom” to run applications anywhere at the edge, in the private cloud, or in a hybrid setup without compromising on national security or regulatory compliance.
