AMANA awarded five data centre projects driven by technological advances, increasing adoption of cloud-based services, and the GCC’s accelerated digital transformation
Data centres are a critical element of the infrastructure required to build digital economies in the GCC states as they pivot from oil-driven to data-driven economies
Given these trends and existing capacity gaps, the GCC is expected to witness some of the strongest levels of growth in the global data centre market over the coming years.
AMANA is currently executing five critical data centres in the GCC. Out of which, two were built, completed and delivered to du, a leading UAE telecom company.
This state-of-the-art data centre, located in Dubai Silicon Oasis, was designed and engineered with a strong focus on optimising power efficiency and to meet the Uptime Institute (UTI) TIER III certification.
Joe Labaky, General Manager of UAE and Emerging Markets, AMANA Group, said: “Data is the new oil for the GCC region.
“In effect, data centres are now meta-infrastructures, interconnecting critical sectors relying on them such as energy, finance, transportation, national security, health systems and other lifeline services.”
