Nutanix, a hybrid multi-cloud computing company, has announced that it has deepened its engagement with Saudi Business Machines (SBM), an IT solutions provider in Saudi Arabia, by signing the company as a “Cloud Champion.” The two companies will work closely together in providing Nutanix’s infrastructure solutions to enterprises in the Kingdom looking to embrace cloud computing.

Speaking about the partnership, Mr. Saeed Nader, Channel Sales Manager – Saudi Arabia & Bahrain at Nutanix said, “Digital transformation has been a top priority for organizations in Saudi for the past two years. The COVID-19 pandemic has further created a pressing need for enterprises to speed up their plans to enable the work from home/ remote working trend. In this scenario, cloud computing is seen as one of the pillars of a digital transformation strategy.”

Nutanix will assist SBM in developing and certifying its staff to provide design, configuration, and support capabilities. Nutanix will conduct regular training and enablement sessions for online certifications, product updates, and workshops for hands-on instruction. SBM technical and sales staff will have access to the various tools and resources available as part of Nutanix Elevate (program). Nutanix will also make available skilled resources to assist the partner in the execution of its Nutanix opportunities.

“We are constantly looking to form alliances with best-of-breed technology vendors that share our vision. We believe that with the power of Nutanix’s solutions, we are now well-positioned to serve the digital transformation technology needs of enterprises in Saudi,” said Mr. Hassona Al Quraan, VP – Infrastructure & Network Technology at SBM.
