COUNTRY FOCUS: KSA
the university with a clear long-term
solution roadmap.
“Several members of our IT team were
already aware of and have used Riverbed’s
solutions. This gives us added confidence,
as we have first-hand experience of the
rich features and capabilities of Riverbed’s
portfolio,” said Serajuddin.
Riverbed’s solutions will serve to replace the
complex mix of siloed technologies that
were limiting the university’s ability to gain
full visibility across its entire network – a
shortcoming that introduced complexity,
increased licensing costs and translated
to difficulties in identifying the root cause
of network performance issues. The
deployment is on track for completion in the
first quarter of 2020.
Moueen Zahreddine, Regional Sales
Director MENA, at Riverbed, said: “Saudi
Arabia is an important market for Riverbed
in the Middle East and our objectives are
fully in line with the Kingdom’s vision in all
its dimensions. Riverbed will continue to work
hard and invest with enterprise customers
across higher education and other verticals
to help enable economic transformation
under the Saudi Vision 2030, and to enable
organisations to maximise performance and
visibility across networks and applications.
We are proud to support KAUST in its Digital
Transformation strategy and the addition
of this reputable university to our customer-
