Dell and Edarat Partner to Strengthen Saudi Arabia’s Multicloud Infrastructure

Dell Technologies and Edarat Group have taken another step toward deepening Saudi Arabia’s digital backbone, sealing a new Memorandum of Understanding during the Dell Technologies Forum in Riyadh. The agreement brings together Mohammed Talaat from Dell and Jihad Nehme from Edarat, and it zeroes in on expanding multicloud solutions, cyber‑resilience and emerging edge technologies across the Kingdom.

Edarat, for those who follow the regional tech scene, has built a solid reputation in Saudi Arabia for data‑centre engineering, cloud architecture and managed services. Pairing that local know‑how with Dell’s global muscle feels, I reckon, like a partnership that could genuinely shift how organisations here handle cloud complexity. I remember chatting with a young founder at an Arageek workshop last year who said managing multiple cloud systems was “a bit of a faff” for his tiny team — so moves like this might give startups like his some much‑needed breathing room.

The MoU outlines a plan for both sides to pinpoint the technologies and tools needed to secure and streamline multicloud infrastructures. It’s also expected to boost scalability for businesses across sectors, while widening access to Dell’s multicloud offerings in the Saudi market. And believe it or not, it’s these behind‑the‑scenes infrastructure updates that often make the biggest difference when companies try to modernise.

Talaat noted that the collaboration supports the Kingdom’s broader push toward a digitally enabled economy, saying it should enhance agility and innovation across organisations. On the flip side, Nehme highlighted Edarat’s commitment to helping raise operational efficiency as more companies move into multicloud environments — a shift that, if you ask me, still leaves plenty of people scratching their heads on day one.

The initiative taps directly into the Kingdom’s wider transformation efforts, and while not every business will feel the impact overnight, it’s spot on in addressing the tech foundations many rely on but rarely think about. As someone who’s seen founders struggle with fragmented systems — well… I mean, we’ve all been there — any partnership that tackles these pain points head‑on is worth watching, even if the road ahead remains a little bumpy, or should I say bumppy.
