Kingston Technology empowers Middle East enterprises to securely transition from Windows 10
Kingston Technology empowers Middle East Enterprises to Securely Transition from Windows 10 with advanced SSD and DRAM Solutions Dubai, UAE – 28 May 2025: As Microsoft prepares to end support for Windows 10 in October 2025, Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, is helping organizations across the Middle East take control of their upgrade path with future-ready SSD and DRAM solutions. Through its trusted expertise and high-performance technology, Kingston is guiding enterprises toward a secure, seamless transition to modern platforms such as Windows 11 and Windows 365.
With digital transformation being a cornerstone of UAE's and Saudi Arabia's national visions, particularly under initiatives like the UAE Digital Government Strategy 2025 and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, enterprises cannot afford to run critical operations on unsupported software. Kingston is committed to guiding IT leaders through a rapid, smooth and cost-effective migration that minimizes risk while boosting productivity and compliance.
'As organizations in the Middle East plan their next move, Kingston stands ready as a strategic partner to deliver the tools and knowledge needed for a smooth migration,' said Khalil Yazbeck, Business Development Manager – UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman, Kingston Technology. 'Our next-generation SSD and DRAM solutions not only support Windows 11's hardware requirements but also unlock higher performance and longer device life, enabling smarter investments and faster returns.'
Upgrading to Windows 11 goes beyond meeting basic hardware specifications, it's about unlocking the full potential of modern systems. While compatibility with TPM 2.0 and the latest CPUs is required, transitioning to higher-capacity next-generation memory and storage can significantly boost system performance, enhance user productivity and enable organizations to fully leverage the capabilities of the new platform. Kingston's NVMe SSDs and high-performance DRAM are designed to meet these demands by enabling smooth system upgrades, accelerating boot times and file access, supporting efficient multitasking and extending the lifespan of existing hardware. This results in improved productivity and the ability to handle demanding workloads including those driven by AI and data-intensive applications.
For many organizations in the region, upgrading existing devices represents the most practical and future-proof approach. It strikes the right balance between cost and performance while aligning with long-term IT strategy as the Windows ecosystem continues to evolve.
Some enterprises may consider doing nothing, an approach fraught with risk. Unsupported Windows 10 systems will no longer receive critical security updates, leaving organizations vulnerable to cyber threats and compliance issues. Others may opt to stay on Windows 10 and pay for extended support. While this buys time, it's a costly short-term fix that delays the inevitable migration and doesn't improve system performance.
Buying new devices is another path. It guarantees compatibility and offers the latest in performance and features. However, it comes with high upfront costs, especially when evaluating AI PCs, which may still face software and compatibility challenges, as well as limitations in memory and storage upgradability, especially in AI laptops.
Upgrading existing devices stands out as the smartest path forward. By enhancing current systems with Kingston SSDs and DRAM, organizations can run Windows 11 efficiently, boost system performance and extend device lifespans, delivering high ROI without major capital expenditure.
'Kingston's role goes beyond providing hardware, we are enabling Middle East enterprises to future-proof their operations,' added Yazbeck. 'Our mission is to deliver performance without compromise, helping organizations turn a looming challenge into a competitive advantage.'
With a legacy of trust, innovation, and global reach, Kingston Technology is the reliable partner enterprises need to navigate this critical transition with clarity and confidence.

Bitget launches BGUSD to bridge traditional finance and crypto
Bitget, a globally leading cryptocurrency exchange with major operations in the UAE, announced the launch of BGUSD, a yield-bearing stable asset certificate designed to enhance capital efficiency and provide passive income opportunities for users worldwide. The new digital asset product is fully integrated into the platform's trading and wealth management infrastructure, offering a multifaceted utility layer backed by real-world assets, the company said. BGUSD is redeemable for USDC at a 1:1 ratio and can be subscribed using USDC or USDT. Holding BGUSD provides users with an annualized yield starting at 4 percent, credited daily to their spot accounts based on their minimum daily balance, the company said. For the first 30 days following launch, a promotional annual percentage yield (APY) of 5 percent will apply, it added. The new digital asset product derives its yield from a diversified basket of tier 1 tokenized real-world assets, including high-grade money market funds and tokenized US Treasury products. This disciplined yield structure is supported by a diversified asset allocation, institutional-grade infrastructure, and partnerships with multiple leading tokenization service providers, Bitget said. 'At Bitget, our mission has always been to prioritise our users' needs — whether they come from the crypto-native community, institutional circles, or traditional finance,' said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. 'With BGUSD, we are delivering a solution that bridges the best of both worlds – the transparency and innovation of crypto with the stability and yield opportunities traditionally found in real-world assets,' she said. Chen said this launch is another step in empowering the exchange's global users to achieve smarter, more resilient portfolio growth. The company said the structuring positions BGUSD as a secure, yield-generating alternative within the platform, minimizing exposure to crypto market volatility, while maintaining full liquidity through redemption options. Users can opt for instant redemptions, fulfilled from Bitget's reserve pool, or standard redemptions with settlement within three business days, it said.

Dubai: No private parking? Residents may need to pay Dh500 for a spot this summer
With the Eid Al Adha break starting next Thursday, many UAE residents preparing for summer travel are facing an unexpected hurdle - soaring private parking fees. Those without designated building parking now find themselves shelling out Dh500 to Dh600 a month just to leave their vehicles in a safe spot - a sharp increase from the Dh200 they paid last summer. 'Shocked to hear the new prices' Aliya Rehman, a bank executive living on Al Maktoum Road in Deira, said her building offers only one parking slot, not enough for her family's two cars. "We usually leave the second car in the public paid zone near our building - it's in Zone 125C,' she said. "But when we travel for more than a week, we prefer a private, multilevel lot for peace of mind." Last year, she paid Dh200 to a nearby private operator. "This year, he's asking Dh500. He says it's because the car will be idle and he'll make sure the battery doesn't drain, wash it, and keep it safe. That sounds like a good service, but more than doubling the price feels like taking advantage. We're leaving next Wednesday for our hometown, and I don't want to risk leaving the car in open parking." 'Nowhere to park' Hadi Akbari, 38, a dry fruit trader living in Al Nahda, said parking has become a major source of stress. "During normal days, I manage with public parking, usually Zone 241D. But when I travel, I look for private lots." This year, he said the problem has become worse. "Some attendants are asking for Dh600 per month, and most spaces are already taken. I am travelling to Isfahan with my family for Eid and summer break, and I don't know where to park my car." He mentioned that congestion in areas near his residence makes things more complicated. "There are spaces available in away from my office and residence. Even if I find a spot, I worry about how to to bring the car back when I return." 'They know we're desperate during holidays' Mohammed Irfan, a logistics manager from Karama, said he paid just Dh150 last year to park for three weeks. 'Now, the same place quoted Dh350 - just because I'll be away and can't check on the car." These guys know people are flying out, and they are using that to their advantage. Even public parking has become more expensive, so private operators are following suit." Irfan is flying to Hyderabad for Eid Al Adha with his family and is still figuring out where to park his car. "It's either pay up or risk a fine or maybe damage. And without building parking, I don't have a choice." With the Eid holidays being clubbed with summer vacations, hundreds of families across the UAE are heading home or traveling abroad for several weeks. But without secure parking included in their accommodation, the added costs are starting to pile up. Khaleej Times checked with several private parking providers in Deira, Karama, and Muhaisnah. Most of them said the higher rates were because of an increase in their rents and leases and also mentioned that they offer care in the owner's absence. "We don't just park the car, we protect it," said one operator. "We wash it, check it, and even send daily video updates to the owner." Another said rising costs forced them to increase rates. "Our rent and lease charges have gone up, too, so we had to adjust prices slightly." For now, with time running out before Eid, many residents find themselves stuck between high parking costs and the worry of leaving their car exposed to summer heat.
