Saudi plugs funding into its data center scen<\/strong>e<\/strong>:<\/strong> Saudi Arabia\u2019s Authority for Data and Artificial Intelligence (Sdaia) has inked a SAR 228 mn contract with Al Moammar Information Systems Company (MIS) to expand Riyadh\u2019s Naqaa data center, according to a Tadawul statement<\/a>. The expansion is slated to address Sdaia\u2019s escalating demand for data center capacity. <\/p>\n

MIS has been active: <\/strong>MIS sealed a framework agreement in July<\/a> to add up to 112 MW of capacity to Saudi Data Center Fund 1\u2019s existing data centers. The 36-month agreement could also see MIS establish new data centers for the fund. <\/p>\n

MIS + Saudi Data Center Fund 1 go way back:<\/strong> The fund was established in 2021<\/a> when MIS and Saudi Fransi Capital inked a SAR 1.2 bn agreement to develop, design, and manage data centers through the private investment fund. The agreement laid out plans for six data centers with a combined 24 MW capacity.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Saudi Arabia is <\/strong>expected to spearhead MENA\u2019s data center growth over the next three years<\/strong>, with a compound annual growth rate of 37% through 2027. This rate is forecasted to be almost double that of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and well above the global average of 15%. The Kingdom\u2019s drive to become an AI hub \u2014 fueled by government policies, tax incentives, and economic freezones \u2014 has attracted major firms like Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Equinix to invest in data center capacity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
