Dubai: Saal.ai and Nutanix have announced a strategic collaboration to launch SovereignGPT, a next-generation Agentic AI platform designed for security-sensitive organisations across the Middle East. Engineered in the UAE by Saal.ai and powered by Nutanix’s hybrid multicloud infrastructure, the platform delivers fully sovereign, on-premise generative AI, ensuring enterprise and government data never leaves internal environments.
SovereignGPT enables governments and large enterprises to convert diverse data sources into actionable insights while maintaining complete data sovereignty. Its Agentic AI capabilities allow autonomous reasoning and action across enterprise systems, supporting faster and more intelligent decision-making. Built on Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure, the platform meets government-grade security standards and provides the resilience, scalability, and high availability required for mission-critical operations.
Vikraman Poduval, CEO of Saal.ai, said SovereignGPT reflects the company’s vision of enabling organisations to unlock data value without compromising sovereignty or security, adding that the platform accelerates digital transformation by breaking down data silos within trusted environments. Raif Abou Diab, Sales Director at Nutanix, said the collaboration combines Nutanix’s hybrid cloud capabilities with Saal.ai’s regional AI expertise to deliver secure, high-performance generative AI directly where data resides.
The platform is positioned as one of the region’s first fully integrated AI-in-a-Box certified architectures, unifying compute, storage, security, and advanced AI within a single solution. Saal.ai and Nutanix said SovereignGPT sets a new benchmark for scalable, trustworthy, and sovereign artificial intelligence across the Middle East.
