Value Proposition

Strong commitment to a booming data center market

Demand for data center capacity continues to rise at a rapid rate around the world.
The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) launched an $18 billion plan to build a nationwide network of large-scale data centers to transform Saudi Arabia into a data center regional hub.
Relevant entities are working day and night to increase the growth of co-location capacity data centers needed to attract other digital investments, such as cloud service providers, gaming publishers, video streaming service operators and content delivery network (CDN) operators to localize their services inside the Kingdom.
