KSA secures more data center agreements at Leap

KSA’s data center pipeline keeps filling up: Saudi Arabia’s Axelerated Solutions is raising an SAR 675 mn shariah-compliant fund — the BIM Capital DC-Infrastructure Fund — to build and run two Tier-III data centers, AGBI reports. Each data center will start at 10 MW and is expandable to 20 MW — taking fund units in exchange for the construction and facilities-management contracts.

PLUS- Dell Technologies and Armada partnered to roll out containerized, mobile data centers across the Kingdom, with Dell’s hardware installed inside Armada’s mobile units. The plan targets projects that require fast computing across the energy, telecom, manufacturing, and public infrastructure sectors. Meanwhile, Desert Technologies and Switzerland’s CTS Group formed a joint venture, CTS-DT, to design and build data centers for AI and high-performance computing, targeting 300 MW of annual capacity and scaling toward 1.2 GW.
