HPE announced today that it is expanding its range of ‘Saudi Made’ servers, adding two new servers, the HPE ProLiant DL365 and DL385 Gen11. These servers use 5th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors.
This launch took place at the Alfanar production site in Riyadh, where HPE, along with AMD and Alfanar, proudly showcased the first server powered by an AMD CPU produced on this new production line.
This event is a significant step in the ‘Saudi Made’ initiative. The new ‘Saudi Made’ servers are designed to offer better security and performance, making it easier and faster to analyze data and get real-time insights. The HPE ProLiant servers will carry the ‘Saudi Tech’ logo and are available now in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and other Gulf countries.
HPE’s investment in making these servers in Saudi Arabia helps the country aim to become a global leader in data-driven economies, supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. “
We are very happy to reach this important milestone with our partners AMD and alfanar as we grow our ‘Saudi Made’ servers,” said Mohammad Alrehaili, managing director for the Middle East at HPE.
“There is a big demand for strong digital infrastructure and computing power in the Middle East. This demand comes from major investments and frameworks like Saudi Vision 2030, as well as new technologies like AI. Our new servers, using the latest AMD EPYC processors, meet this demand by delivering consistent high performance and strong data security.”
The new HPE ProLiant DL365 and DL385 Gen11 servers follow last year’s successful launch of ‘Saudi Made’ HPE servers, which received a National Product Certificate.
This expansion gives customers more options and flexibility, offering scalable, efficient, secure, and high-performance computing capabilities with 4th and 5th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors. These processors have many cores and high speeds, large memory for better data analysis, and can be set up in different ways to handle increased workloads.
“AMD EPYC CPUs provide the energy efficiency and performance needed to support Saudi Arabia’s digital growth strategy,” said Zaid Ghattas, general manager for Middle East, Türkiye and Africa at AMD. “AMD is proud to partner with HPE on this initiative and is committed to serving customers in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East region.”
As part of this expansion, HPE and AMD will also offer new training programs to develop skills among the mainly female Saudi workforce, helping to promote innovation and advance the technology sector in the Kingdom.
