At an exclusive event at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal, Saal.ai and Nutanix announced a strategic collaboration on SovereignGPT, a next-generation Agentic AI platform designed for security-focused organizations in the region.

Engineered in the UAE by Saal.ai and powered by Nutanix’s hybrid multicloud infrastructure, the platform introduces fully sovereign, on-premise Generative AI. It ensures data remains within an organization’s environment, whether on hyperconverged, hybrid, or cloud infrastructure.

SovereignGPT allows governments and large enterprises to turn all types of data into actionable insights while operating entirely within their own infrastructure. Its Agentic AI can reason and act autonomously across enterprise systems, enabling faster, smarter decisions. Built on Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure, it meets strict government-grade security requirements and delivers resilience, scalability, and high availability for mission-critical environments.

Vikraman Poduval, CEO of Saal.ai, stated, “SovereignGPT empowers organizations to unlock the full value of their data without compromising sovereignty or security. Together with Nutanix, we are delivering an autonomous platform built in the UAE, enabling faster decisions, breaking down data silos, and accelerating digital transformation with complete trust.”

Raif Abou Diab, Sales Director at Nutanix, added, “Our collaboration with Saal.ai brings together hybrid cloud infrastructure and regional AI expertise to deliver secure, on-premise Generative AI at scale. SovereignGPT allows organizations across the Middle East to deploy high-performance AI directly where their data resides, ensuring resilience, compliance, and freedom to innovate.”

The platform represents one of the region’s first fully integrated AI-in-a-Box architectures. It unifies compute, storage, security, and advanced AI capabilities in a single platform. Organizations can accelerate digital transformation, eliminate data silos, enhance operational and supply chain performance, and activate AI-ready data foundations—all without moving sensitive information outside their infrastructure.

Through this collaboration, Saal.ai and Nutanix aim to set a new benchmark for trustworthy, scalable, and sovereign AI across the Middle East.

Key points:

• SovereignGPT offers on-premise, fully sovereign Generative AI.
• Designed for governments and large enterprises, ensuring data stays secure.
• Integrates compute, storage, security, and AI capabilities for mission-critical operations.
