Khazna Data Centers, a leading wholesale data center provider in the UAE, has officially announced its expansion into Saudi Arabia with the launch of its first data center in Riyadh. This marks a significant milestone for the company and a major boost to the digital infrastructure landscape of the Kingdom.
The new facility is the first of what is expected to be a substantial footprint for Khazna in Saudi Arabia, catering to the increasing demand for high-capacity and reliable data storage from enterprises, government entities, and cloud providers.
A Strategic Move Into The Kingdom
Khazna’s entry into the Saudi market is a strategic step that aligns with the rapid digital transformation underway as part of Saudi Vision 2030. The Riyadh data center is designed to support the localization of data and cloud services, providing a robust platform for businesses to scale their digital operations within the country.
This move underscores the growing integration of the GCC’s digital economies, with a major UAE-based infrastructure player investing directly into the region’s largest market.
Powering Saudi’s Digital Future
The new state-of-the-art facility will provide an initial capacity of 20 megawatts (MW), built to the highest standards of efficiency, security, and connectivity. It aims to serve the needs of hyperscalers and large enterprises, enabling them to deliver low-latency digital services to millions of users across the Kingdom.
By establishing a local presence, Khazna will play a pivotal role in strengthening the digital backbone of Saudi Arabia, fostering innovation and supporting the growth of data-intensive industries such as AI, IoT, and cloud computing.
Regional Expansion Plans
The Riyadh center is the first phase of Khazna’s ambitious expansion plan for Saudi Arabia. The company has indicated that this launch is part of a broader strategy to develop a network of hyperscale data centers across key locations in the Kingdom, further solidifying its position as a dominant data center provider in the MENA region.
This expansion reflects the immense market opportunity in Saudi Arabia and Khazna’s commitment to supporting the region’s long-term digital ambitions.
