stc group, the leading digital enabler in Saudi Arabia, continues to evolve its digital infrastructure through a multi-vendor strategy that enhances agility, service delivery, and scalability. As a part of this approach, stc group adopted next-generation storage solutions from multiple technology partners, including Huawei solutions, to meet the demands of emerging services, growing data volumes, and advanced use cases.
With Huawei, stc has expanded its vendor ecosystem while realising measurable gains in performance, cost efficiency, and operational simplicity. The solution has already shortened provisioning timelines, increased storage throughput and aligned infrastructure growth with the Group’s broader innovation agenda.
By modernizing its infrastructure, stc group has:
- Improved provisioning and deployment processes, enabling faster delivery of new services.
- Enhanced performance, reliability, and scalability to support advanced digital use cases.
- Optimized operational efficiency and built a more sustainable technology environment in line with its innovation agenda.
Expanding infrastructure for a data-driven future
Rising data volumes and the push for real-time digital services have made storage a strategic cornerstone of stc group’s digital transformation roadmap. Moving to a multi-vendor architecture is the next step to strengthen resilience, spur vendor competition and scale services while balancing performance and cost. But adopting this model required the right partners and technology capable of supporting next-gen service delivery.
“As we build a flexible infrastructure that meets future demands, our goal is to enable innovative digital services, elevate performance, and drive efficiency” said Fayez Alkhalifah, Cloud & Core Architecture Professional, stc group.
Transforming storage with Huawei Following successful proof of concept and technical validation, Huawei was selected. Designed, the system supports ultra-low latency, high throughput, and continuous operations, even in extreme failure scenarios.
The solution platform that streamlines infrastructure and enables simplified management across all storage types.
Performance, protection and sustainability built-in
To support business services, stc group required a solution that delivers consistent performance and robust security. Huawei offers:
- Significant performance improvements
- Protection and secure data management
- 24/7 high availability
Moreover, sustainability remains a key pillar of stc group’s strategy. The Huawei solution supports these goals through an energy-efficient design and intelligent power management that lowers carbon intensity.Abdullah M. Alfakhri,Cloud & Core Architecture Director at stc group said, “We look forward to continue our collaboration to enhance our infrastructure, ensuring it meets evolving business needs with reliability and efficiency.”
