Salesforce rolls out Hyperforce cloud in Israel
Salesforce has expanded its Hyperforce cloud platform to Israel, bringing its global infrastructure closer to customers that handle sensitive government and corporate data. The aim is clear: provide a local, compliant environment that keeps critical information inside the country while drawing on the company’s worldwide experience.
Keeping sensitive data inside Israel
With this rollout, organizations can keep sensitive information within Israel’s borders. For many, local data residency isn’t optional—it’s required. Hyperforce has been two years in development, a signal of Salesforce’s ongoing effort to meet local market needs rather than asking customers to bend to a one-size-fits-all model.
At launch, the platform runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, and Salesforce plans to add Google’s cloud services in the future. This flexible approach supports reliability and scale, giving Israeli organizations a cloud option that can grow with them while staying aligned with local requirements.
Benefits for government and regulated organizations
Itai Margalit, who leads sales for Salesforce in Israel, underscored the value for government bodies and companies that must meet strict privacy rules. For these teams, managing data locally is essential—some simply cannot move sensitive records beyond Israel’s borders and still comply.
Until now, many Israeli customers used facilities in Frankfurt for storage and processing. That setup worked, but it introduced hurdles around compliance and data sovereignty. With new local infrastructure, organizations can operate within Israeli parameters and still rely on Salesforce’s technology and scale.
Why local presence matters
According to Udi Shvekey, Hyperforce’s lead architect, Israel’s authorities had previously approved the use of the Frankfurt data center even for sensitive workloads. Having local resources, however, marks a meaningful step forward. The Israeli deployment is the 17th Hyperforce cloud offering worldwide, placing Israel firmly on Salesforce’s global map.
Salesforce now maintains three offices in Israel and employs 750 people in the country, a team strengthened through the acquisitions of several Israeli startups. The company’s goal is to migrate all local customers to Hyperforce in Israel, doing so in a way that keeps service continuity and reliability front and center.
Investing in AI, building for what’s next
Alongside its cloud expansion, Salesforce has been investing in artificial intelligence (AI) and weaving it across its product suite. The intent is practical: streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and help drive revenue where possible.
Margalit noted that the company’s R&D center in Israel is one of three key strategic hubs, alongside the United States and India. That focus on development helps Salesforce stay at the front of the pack in fast-moving areas like AI—work that ultimately strengthens the broader platform, including Hyperforce.
Conclusion
Launching Hyperforce in Israel ties local needs to a global cloud backbone and reinforces Salesforce’s push into future-ready technologies like AI. For organizations operating under tight compliance and security constraints, it offers a path to keep data where it belongs while tapping modern, scalable cloud services. The promise is simple: local control, global capability—and room to grow.
