HPE has launched its latest ‘Saudi Made’ Gen12 servers, featuring the ProLiant DL360 and DL380 models produced in Riyadh. Powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors, these systems are designed to enhance digital sovereignty and support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by providing secure, locally manufactured infrastructure for AI and hybrid cloud workloads.
“We are excited to take the production of locally built HPE ‘Saudi Made’ servers to the next level,” said Mohammad Alrehaili, VP & Managing Director for the Middle East at HPE. “Powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors, these new servers deliver the security, manageability, performance and energy efficiency, that Saudi organizations need to sustainably accelerate their digital transformation, providing them with infrastructure they can trust, giving them the confidence to run their most sensitive workloads. As we continue to invest in Saudi-based production, our commitment to supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 remains stronger than ever.”
HPE’s and Intel’s continued investment in local production not only advances national production goals but also supports Saudi Vision 2030 by enabling organizations to deploy secure, modern infrastructure closer to their data sources. This approach directly addresses the growing demand for digital sovereignty, supporting organizations in their ambition to process and store data within national borders, maintain visibility and control over their infrastructure, and comply with evolving data residency regulations.
Building on the momentum of HPE’s ‘Saudi Made’ initiative, the new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers deliver comprehensive security capabilities, simplified management, and performance optimization, enhanced with AI-driven insights. The systems are engineered to optimize performance, energy efficiency and cost with up to 41% better performance per watt compared to legacy enterprise systems and up to 65% in power savings per year. These advancements empower organizations across the region to tackle increasingly data-intensive workloads and the subsequent growth in power demands.
“The launch of the next-generation HPE ‘Saudi Made’ servers, powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors, reflects the depth of our collaboration with HPE and our shared commitment to advancing Saudi Arabia’s digital future,” said Taha M. Khalifa, General Manager for Middle East and Africa, Intel Corporation. “This milestone represents a meaningful contribution to the Saudi Vision 2030’s goals of economic diversification and technological self-sufficiency. By bringing cutting-edge AI-ready infrastructure to the region, together we are empowering local organizations to innovate, compete, and thrive in an increasingly data-driven world.”
The new servers incorporate HPE’s industry-leading security and control capabilities and are engineered for the hybrid world, helping companies prevail over the evolving threat landscape and performance challenges that their legacy hardware cannot address. By combining robust security with local production, the HPE ‘Saudi made’ Gen12 servers support the data sovereignty requirements that are increasingly central to public sector and enterprise IT strategies across the region. Together, HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 and Intel® Xeon® 6 processors help customers accelerate modernization and confidently run demanding workloads across hybrid cloud, data analytics, virtualization, and AI-enabled applications.
Featuring the ‘Saudi Tech’ logo, the servers are available across Saudi Arabia and select regional markets, including Jordan, Egypt, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. As digital sovereignty rises on the agenda of governments and organizations across the region, the ‘Saudi Made’ ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers offer a trusted foundation for building resilient, compliant, and independently governed digital infrastructure.
