Mindware & VAST Data Join Forces for AI-powered Data Platform in MEA

Mindware, a prominent value-added distributor (VAD) in the Middle East and Africa, has joined forces with VAST Data, the AI data platform company. This strategic partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of VAST’s innovative data platform by businesses across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Mindware’s extensive network of reseller partners will play a key role in bringing VAST’s data storage solutions to enterprises seeking advanced tools for managing their ever-growing data needs in the age of AI. This partnership strengthens Mindware’s position as a trusted AI expert and advisor in the region.

Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Alexandre Boutin, AI Business Unit Director, Middle East & Africa at Mindware said: “VAST Data is an innovation focused company, and we are excited to partner with them, to provide our channel partners with a unique data infrastructure solution to take to customers seeking advanced solutions and services that can support their evolving data requirements in today’s AI era. As we continue to build out our AI/High Performance Computing (HPC) offerings, having VAST in our portfolio will certainly strengthen Mindware’s reputation as the AI expert and trusted advisor in the region. We will also be able to offer an even stronger value proposition and help our partners to differentiate themselves from competition.”

The data storage market is booming due to the ever-increasing volume of data generated by businesses, governments, and individuals. This surge in data creation necessitates advancements in data analytics, security, storage solutions, and related services. Traditional storage infrastructure struggles to keep pace with this data deluge.

VAST Data’s cutting-edge software technology offers a unique value proposition by combining high performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. This allows organizations to capture, organize, analyze, enrich, preserve, and access their data seamlessly through a unified platform.

Haider Aziz, Managing Director, Middle East and Africa at VAST Data said: “With its well-established business model, strong AI/HPC practice and technical capabilities, extensive presence across Middle East and Africa and solid reputation as a trusted advisor, we see Mindware as a great partner to help establish our brand in the region. We are looking forward to the journey ahead and the collaborative success we can attain together.”
