Riyadh — Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), in partnership with US microchip maker AMD, has announced the expansion of its ‘Saudi Made’ server portfolio with the launch of two new models — the HPE ProLiant DL365 and DL385 Gen11 servers powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors. The unveiling took place at alfanar’s production facility in Riyadh, underscoring Saudi Arabia’s growing role in advanced technology manufacturing.
Carrying the ‘Saudi Tech’ logo, the new servers are immediately available across Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and Gulf markets. They build on the success of HPE’s first locally manufactured servers launched last year, which were awarded the National Product Certificate. The servers deliver high performance, scalability, and energy efficiency while ensuring robust security and flexible configurations to meet rising regional demand for digital infrastructure.
HPE’s investment supports Saudi Vision 2030 goals, aiming to position the Kingdom as a global leader in data-driven economies. The servers enable enterprises to accelerate analytics, process real-time insights, and scale AI-driven workloads.
“We’re delighted to celebrate this milestone with AMD and alfanar,” said Mohammad Alrehaili, Managing Director for Middle East at HPE. “The unprecedented demand for digital infrastructure across the Middle East is driven by Vision 2030 and technological advancements like AI. These new servers directly address that demand with predictable high performance and rock-solid data security.”
AMD’s General Manager for Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa, Zaid Ghattas, highlighted that EPYC CPUs deliver both performance and energy efficiency needed to power Saudi Arabia’s digital growth strategy. Alfanar’s Vice President, Markus Grabmeier, emphasized the milestone’s role in advancing female talent and strengthening the Kingdom’s tech ecosystem.
As part of the expansion, HPE and AMD will roll out training programs to enhance the skills of Saudi Arabia’s majority-female workforce, fostering innovation and accelerating national technology development.
