EDGNEX, a digital infrastructure provider owned by DAMAC Group, has selected Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), as the next location for its data centre facilities.
EDGNEX’s investment in data centre will support the KSA’s Vision for 2030 by providing a foundation for local and regional digital transformation and innovation, while aiming to attract global multi-nationals to the country.
The data centre will be located at Industrial City 2 which is 19km from the city centre and 47km from the airport. The facility’s close proximity to Riyadh’s city centre will provide low-latency access to the KSA market, and customers will benefit from fibre density and connectivity options.
The data centre will have a maximum IT load of 20 Megawatts (MW) and sit on a 17,720 sqm plot. The facility will be live in Q3 2023, said Niall McLoughlin, Senior Vice President of parent company DAMAC Group.
