Dell, Armada partner on Saudi edge data centers

Dell Technologies and Armada have signed an MoU to develop mobile and containerized edge data center infrastructure for Edge AI and localized computing across Saudi Arabia.

The MoU was signed during LEAP 2026 in Riyadh between Mohamed Talaat, Vice President, Saudi, Egypt, North Africa & Levant (SENAL), Dell Technologies and Rabee El Mohammadi, Vice President, Sales and Partnerships, MEA at Armada. The agreement establishes a framework for projects that require fast and flexible access to localized compute and storage capabilities.

“Our collaboration with Armada represents a pivotal step in expanding resilient, mobile edge infrastructure across Saudi Arabia. By pairing Dell’s high-performance hardware stack with Armada’s containerized data center design, we are empowering enterprises to deploy Edge AI with speed, scale and reliability in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030,” said Mohamed Talaat.

Under the MoU, Dell’s enterprise hardware and infrastructure stack is expected to be integrated with Armada’s specialized mobile, containerized data center solutions to provide high-performance infrastructure for customers across the Kingdom.

“This strategic MoU with Dell Technologies significantly strengthens Armada’s ability to deliver mission-critical AI and edge infrastructure across Saudi Arabia. Combining our edge platform with Dell’s world-class technology allows us to solve our customers’ most demanding operational challenges,” said Rabee El Mohammadi.

The joint initiative will focus on key sectors including energy, telecommunications, manufacturing and public infrastructure, with enterprise customers reached through Dell’s authorized regional channel partner network. By bringing compute and storage closer to where data is generated, the collaboration is intended to support real-time Edge AI applications, strengthen data sovereignty and help maintain operational continuity in remote and resource-constrained environments.
