Talal Alsaif, Regional Director for Saudi Arabia at Nutanix, pointed to the rapid expansion of local cloud computing demands:
“Saudi Arabia is one of the fastest-growing cloud markets globally, and customers are looking for greater flexibility in how they deploy and manage applications across hybrid environments. Bringing NC2 to Google Cloud’s Dammam region gives organizations in the Kingdom and across the Middle East access to a consistent hybrid multicloud platform that simplifies operations while enabling faster innovation.”

Khalid Alohali, Head of Customer Engineering at Google Cloud Saudi Arabia, noted the technical advantages for local enterprises:
“Bringing Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) to Google Cloud’s Dammam region is a key milestone in our mission to support local enterprises on their hybrid cloud journeys. This collaboration provides organizations with a seamless path to extend their on-premises environments to Google Cloud, enabling them to run applications with low latency, simplify operations, and accelerate innovation without the need to rearchitect their systems.”

Immediate Availability Across Saudi Arabia
Nutanix confirmed that the service is available immediately for customers in the region. Enterprises can access the capabilities of NC2 on Google Cloud directly through Nutanix and its established network of channel partners.
Features of NC2 on Google Cloud
The deployment of NC2 on Google Cloud gives administrators access to familiar management tools across hybrid environments. Furthermore, IT departments can configure disaster recovery setups and modernise existing enterprise applications with minimal operational disruption.
The platform also supports direct integration with specialized cloud services, including tools for artificial intelligence and cloud-native software development. As a result, engineering teams can build new features on top of existing applications while maintaining consistent operational governance.

Local Data Residency and Low Latency
Operating within the Dammam region allows local businesses to maintain workloads close to users while meeting regulatory standards in Saudi Arabia. In addition, organizations can connect workloads to Google Cloud services, including data analytics, machine learning, and developer tools, without changing application architecture.
Organizations pursuing digital initiatives aligned with Vision 2030 require platforms that offer application portability alongside consistent security policies. Specifically, the regional infrastructure allows companies in the business sector to scale operational capacity without undertaking complex software refactoring projects.

Nutanix announced the availability of NC2 on Google Cloud in the Google Cloud Dammam region on September 3, 2026. The deployment follows a broader collaboration between the two companies initially presented at the LEAP conference in Saudi Arabia.
Through this integration, enterprises can extend their on-premises Nutanix environments directly to Google Cloud infrastructure. Consequently, technical teams can move workloads, manage disaster recovery, and address capacity demands while preserving a single operating model across private and public environments.
