Nutanix and the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Unlock new learning opportunities for Saudi students in the digital age


The digital age brings new opportunities to Saudi students – and new requirements for the government seeking to unlock them. It’s why digital transformation is not just a key pillar of the Saudi Vision 2030, but a specific focus of your National Transformation Program. Digital transformation is critical to the future of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – and nowhere is it more essential than in today’s classrooms, in the hands of the young people who will shape tomorrow.

Discover how, by augmenting market-leading private cloud expertise from Nutanix with solutions for end user computing and hybrid cloud, the Ministry of Education can realise that future. Read on to learn how we can enable connected, cost-effective learning experiences.

Why Nutanix for the Ministry of Education

We’d like to help the Ministry of Education unlock new opportunities for Saudi students in the digital age. Here’s how Nutanix can act as a trusted advisor and partner to each of your key stakeholders.

Intelligence for Ministry of Education IT leaders

You can see the insights spread across your clouds. All that’s missing is a path between them. Your existing consumption model might be making it too expensive to scale or it could be that increased complexity would make you a target for cyberattacks. But with Nutanix, Ministry of Education IT leaders can connect intelligence– with OPEX service models and zero trust security.

Freedom for Ministry of Education managers

Much of your team’s time is spent keeping the IT running, scaled, and secured. But with so many technologies, admin tools, and vendors involved, it’s a task fraught with complexity and risk. Allow Nutanix to free up time to focus more on growth – without getting locked into legacy infrastructure. See how we can help Ministry of Education managers work with the tools of their choice to deliver the services and experiences students are calling for. There’s also potential for attracting and retaining employees – incentivised by access to emerging technologies and resources.

Inspiration for Ministry of Education IT administrators

You’re not the only one who sees more promise in operating an on-premises cloud-like experience – you’re just in the best position to make it happen. With Nutanix, Ministry of Education IT administrators will find there’s plenty more potential to unlock their talent in their role and beyond. An intuitive interface relieves the burden of administration by providing a single pane of glass, while automation frees experts from routine or time-consuming tasks – allowing tech specialists to dedicate more skill and energy to activities that will generate real business value.

Our vision for digital transformation for the Ministry of Education

Nutanix Cloud Platform

The Nutanix Cloud Platform is the foundation for your private cloud. Build on your existing hyperconverged infrastructure to enable endless success with an agile, cost-efficient and incredibly powerful private cloud-like environment – and get everything you need to grow.

  • Get the freedom and availability to adapt and scale your business seamlessly to new demands.
  • Easily move applications and services, add new clusters and expand IT support to grow as you go.
  • Take complete control of your architecture with self-service access for admins and standardise operations to free up staff time from admin tasks.
  • Reduce cloud costs and raise ROI by shifting workloads to one private, hyperconverged cloud platform on an OPEX model.
  • Lower hardware footprint, power consumption and cooling needs to reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions.
  • Stay protected with built-in security capabilities like application-centric security policy, network security, self-healing mechanism and data protection and encryption.
  • Improve energy efficiency and reduce energy bills with a software-defined architecture that merges compute and storage using common server nodes. Fewer components leads to easier hosting which can help meet not only performance and governance needs but energy and carbon targets, too. This on top of the reduced total cost of ownership.
