Mbuzz Partners with Toshiba Gulf for Surveillance and Enterprise Storage

Toshiba GULF FZE has selected MBUZZ as a distributor of its storage solutions across Saudi Arabia. In addition, MBUZZ will also be the regional distributor for Toshiba’s range of NAS products.  

The demand for storage continues to be driven by exponential growth in data generated. Hard drives (HD) continue to address most of this demand - forecasting that 58% of data storage will be on HD with SSDs accounting for 16% of data storage and NAND making up 10% of the storage by 2025. 

This partnership will address the growing requirement for storage in the region with advanced solutions from Toshiba. As Smart City projects accelerate in the kingdom, there is an exponential growth of video footage being generated by surveillance systems, creating a huge demand for reliable, high-capacity storage solutions. The demand for video storage also needs to comply with the strict regulations of local authorities which can be met with robust solutions from Toshiba. 

Toshiba offers purpose-built surveillance storage solutions targeting different areas in today’s growing surveillance market. Providing stable 24/7 operation and optimizing the need of leading surveillance DVRs and NVRs.

“This collaboration comes at a crucial time when the demand for Smart Secure Cities and reliable video storage solutions is skyrocketing. In addition, Big Data is driving demand for more distributed storage in the cloud and on-premises enterprise server / storage systems. Toshiba HDD products provide higher capacity and advanced technology to meet the special demands of datacentres and cloud-scale Infrastructure,” said Santosh Varghese, VP, Toshiba GULF FZE.
