Industry Findings: Cloud and hyperscale commitments are prompting buyers to rethink memory topologies so workloads run closer to users and regulators. A market analysis published in Jul-2024 highlighted a notable uptick in data-centre and cloud investment across the kingdom, improving demand visibility for enterprise storage and memory stacks. That research motivated enterprises and telcos to opt for hybrid memory+storage combinations that blend persistent dataset tiers with higher on-node DRAM for latency-sensitive inference, thereby reducing cross-border I/O and improving service predictability for regulated sectors.
Industry Player Insights: Many firms are active across the market; some include Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Equinix, and Western Digital etc. Microsoft’s regional cloud engagements over 2023–2024 prompted local integrators to accelerate NVMe and DRAM qualification cycles to match new cloud onramps, enabling faster enterprise cloud migrations. Western Digital strengthened its regional manufacturing and sampling support across the Gulf in 2024, delivering clearer options for persistent-storage tiers that Bahrain operators could adopt for dataset staging and hybrid-memory architectures.
