Collaboration to enhance data protection and business continuity across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Oman.
Commvault has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MDS Systems Integration Group, one of the Gulf’s leading IT services and systems integration companies. The partnership aims to address the growing demand for advanced cyber resiliency solutions across key Gulf markets including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Oman.
The collaboration comes at a time when Gulf nations are accelerating their digital transformation agendas through ambitious national programs such as UAE 2031, Saudi Vision 2030, and Qatar National Vision 2030. These initiatives are driving exponential growth in data generation, cloud adoption, and AI-driven innovation—making cyber resilience a national and enterprise-level priority.
“Our partnership with Commvault marks a major step in strengthening cyber resilience across the Gulf.”
– Sami Abi Esber, President, MDS System Integration Group
“I’m delighted that we have signed this agreement with such a major player in the IT market in the region,” said Fady Rachmany, Corporate Vice President, Emerging Markets, Commvault. “Through Commvault’s gold standard cyber resilience platform and MDS Systems’ wide-ranging IT capabilities, we aim to help organizations in the region achieve continuous business operations amid increasing cyber threats.”
According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025, 72% of global organizations reported an increase in cyber risks over the past year — a trend mirrored across the GCC. AI misuse and social engineering have emerged as top concerns, underscoring the need for cross-sector resilience and public-private collaboration.
Under the MoU, both companies will focus on high-potential sectors such as government, financial services, energy, and critical infrastructure, while exploring joint go-to-market initiatives, technical collaboration, and managed services tailored for the Gulf’s regulatory and cybersecurity frameworks.
“Commvault’s proven expertise and leadership in data protection and cyber resilience perfectly complement our mission to help organizations accelerate their digital transformation journeys,” added Sami Abi Esber, President of MDS System Integration Group. “Together, we aim to empower enterprises across the Gulf with intelligence, agility, and the security needed to ensure uninterrupted business continuity.”
