Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) President Dr. Abdullah Al-Ghamdi launched on Saturday several technical infrastructure expansion projects and data centers in Riyadh.
The projects, the first of their kind in Saudi Arabia, were launched at an event attended by Director of the National Information Center Dr. Essam bin Abdullah Al-Waqit, and other SDAIA leaders and officials.
The new data centers boast an electrical capacity of up to 65 kilowatts per cabin and feature highly efficient electrical and mechanical systems. The projects aim to increase the capacity and operational efficiency of data centers.
These initiatives are part of SDAIA’s strategy to develop sustainable data centers built according to the best global practices and standards set by the UPTIME Institute, the global authority on data center evaluation and classification.
