The collaboration between Toshiba GULF FZE and MBUZZ will address the exponentially growing demand for reliable high-capacity enterprise-grade hard drives
Toshiba GULF FZE has announced the appointment of MBUZZ as a distributor of its storage solutions across the Kingdom of 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 the exponential growth in data being generated.

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