RIYADH, Saudi Arabia and SAN JOSE, California – March 21, 2024 – solutions by stc, the leading enabler of digital transformation in the Kingdom, and Nile, the leader in next-generation enterprise networks, today announced the immediate availability of the Nile Access Service on the Google Cloud platform within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). In collaboration with Google Cloud, solutions by stc and Nile can now offer a highly advanced connectivity service for wired and wireless Local Area Networks. Backed by AI Networking, solutions by stc customers no longer have to concern themselves with managing network hardware or even network operations; their network becomes fully automated.
Today’s agreement means solutions by stc and Nile are leveraging Google Cloud in the KSA to deliver secure and reliable connectivity to the enterprise campus with zero up-front expense using a full subscription model. This approach will ultimately redefine enterprise networking, where customers have historically been forced to integrate as many as ten different solutions – including security, switching, controllers, access points, Network Access Control (NAC), and more – behind a curtain of clunky services. In contrast, Nile’s AI-driven, automated approach enables solutions by stc to offer enterprises secure connectivity with almost no network operations burden. Together, solutions by stc, Google Cloud, and Nile will be delivering the Kingdom’s first and only NoOps networking service.
“Many of our enterprise customers want to focus their IT resources on projects directly impacting their businesses, such as AI, digital transformation, developing business-critical applications, and other high-level work. They don’t want to spend their budget ‘Keeping the lights on,’” said Hatem Elkadi, solutions by stc’s Chief Partnership & Synergy Officer. “By partnering with Google Cloud and Nile, we enable our customers to focus on projects that grow their business and leave the infrastructure to us.”
“solutions by stc has been an early champion for Nile, and our partnership has already been supremely beneficial to both firms,” said Pankaj Patel, Nile’s CEO. “Adding Google Cloud support ensures our service is in full compliance with data sovereignty laws in KSA as the Nile Services Cloud can now be hosted locally, aligning to our deep commitment to supporting the needs of our mutual customers in the region.”
