Insight Enterprises The architecture uitilises Dell Hyper Converged Infrastructure


Insight Completes Largest Ever IT Transformation of Cruise Saudi Flagship

Insight and Dell Technologies are working together to transform the way you work by delivering advanced end-to-end solutions for data centers, the cloud, devices and more. Let Insight's team of experts help you get the most value out of your Dell Technologies investments.

Insights does not do it alone. They use partners
Could MTi Metering Box or OneMindNG be a future partner? I do not know at this time. The point here is possibilities are endless with the work MTi Mingothings is looking to be part of.

Uniting the capabilities of more than 6,000 leading technology partners to deliver best-in-class solutions — backed by top industry certifications

https://www.insight.com/en_US/shop/partner.html


MTi (MingoThings) and OneMindNG have been successfully integrated into Dell's ecosystem, particularly in edge and smart
infrastructure environments. Here's how they relate to Dell Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI):
MTi Metering Box

Certified by Dell: MTi is a Verified Dell NativeEdge Partner, and its Metering Box is officially validated for use with Dell NativeEdge, Dell's edge operations platform

Integration: The Metering Box works with Dell Edge Gateways (e.g., 3200 and 5200) and supports real-time data collection from sensors, PLCs, and SCADA systems

Use Cases: Smart city monitoring, energy optimization, predictive maintenance, and factory integration.

HCI Relevance: While not directly marketed as a hyper-converged solution, the Metering Box can feed data into Dell's HCI environments?(e.g., VxRail) via edge-to-cloud pipelines, especially when paired with platforms like thethings.io or MES systems.
OneMindNG
Smart City Hypervisor: OneMindNG is a multi-domain orchestration platform used in smart cities to unify and visualize data from disparate?systems

Dell Collaboration: It has been deployed in major projects like NEOM in collaboration with Dell Technologies and Orange Business Services, acting as the city-wide command and control hypervisor

HCI Relevance: OneMindNG can be layered on top of Dell's hyper-converged infrastructure to provide real-time analytics, incident response, and cross-domain intelligence-ideal for urban-scale deployments.

MTi Metering Box
OneMindNG

Both solutions are Dell-certified and play complementary roles in edge-to-cloud architectures, with MTi focused on data acquisition and edge intelligence, and OneMindNG on orchestration and
visualization.

Anyway new came out 5am from Insight

Another question is Insight Enterprises a competitor of MTi Mingothings and OneMindNG or are they a potential future partner????

Technology on board the AROYA Cruise ship enhances passenger experience and operational efficiency
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Insight Enterprises(NASDAQ: NSIT) has successfully completed its most ambitious project to date - the extensive and complex IT transformation of the cruise ship Manara, now rebranded as the AROYA.
Insight's exemplary work on the AROYA demonstrates an architecture-led approach to implementing cutting-edge technology, redefining the cruise ship experience. Passengers can look forward to unparalleled advancements, including state-of-the-art guest service systems with mobile apps, self-service kiosks, and personalised digital interactions—all seamlessly integrated through the IT modernisation programme delivered by Insight.
AROYA Cruises is the latest example of Saudi Arabia’s diversification into areas beyond the petrochemical industry. It is paying particular attention to tourism, and the AROYA will play a vital role in this enterprise. Among the offerings hosted on Insight’s infrastructure will be excursion booking and destination planning systems. There will also be advanced financial systems and a new CRM system, aimed at boosting customer retention.
Insight’s role was to design best-in-class technology architecture and deliver the proposed solution within a tight timescale. The architecture uitilises Dell Hyper Converged Infrastructure, Cisco Core, spine and leaf technologies, all of which will host critical guest experiences and crew operation applications.
The project also involved a comprehensive overhaul of the vessel’s foundational infrastructure, featuring the deployment of Microsoft Active Directory, Intune management and Horizon VDI platforms. Such modernisation will ensure consistent performance across all 650+ newly procured and configured modern workplace devices, tablets and point-of-sale systems that support guest experience and crew operations on the vessel.
“This was a demanding project,” said Insight’s Global Account Manager, Jamie Turner, “The ship’s IT infrastructure had to be completely gutted, and everything overhauled from scratch. We’ve installed top-of-the-range technology to ensure that cruise passengers are benefiting from first-class data services, even when at sea. The new modern infrastructure and networking was deployed within a record 11 months from initial contract to completion of both phases – a tight schedule but delivered on time. This project sets a new benchmark for innovation within the maritime industry, and we are thrilled to be driving this IT transformation.”
Bilal Husain, Executive Director, Information Technology and Digitisation at Cruise Saudi, said, “The AROYA’s infrastructure and networking modernisation project represents a new frontier in cruise ship transformation. By deploying advanced technologies like hyper-converged infrastructure alongside VDI delivery, we have significantly enhanced guest experiences and optimised crew operations. With Insight’s ability to deliver large complex change at scale, we were supported to realise this vision and set a new benchmark for innovation.”
