Dubai, United Arab Emirates; 18 December 2025: At Intersec 2026 Dubai, Western Digital, the backbone of the AI‑driven data economy, is showcasing its range of high‑capacity hard disk drives (HDDs) and high‑performance storage platforms for regional cloud service providers (CSPs), data centers, and smart video applications. During the 27th edition of the event, held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the company will demonstrate the foundational role of data storage in the AI era – emphasizing that without data storage, there is no AI.
In the past year, AI has evolved from experimental projects into operational systems, with business leaders racing to deploy workloads that promise transformative returns. Beneath every AI model lies massive, ever‑growing datasets. To keep pace with demands for capacity, scalability, performance, and resilience, Western Digital is presenting next‑generation data storage solutions that push engineering boundaries for more efficient, denser architectures across regional IT infrastructures.
“In today’s AI economy, data is today’s oil that fuels the new era of digital infrastructure development in the Middle East. Scalable, efficient storage is what enables organizations to turn that data into intelligence, innovation, and long-term economic value,” says Owais Mohammed, Regional Lead & Sales Director IMEA at Western Digital. “Intersec is a pivotal platform for us to demonstrate how Western Digital’s innovations empower the future of this digital age.”
