Sterling and Wilson Data Center’s Post

I am thrilled to have been interviewed by Sherwood News to provide insights on the Surging growth of data centers in the Gulf and the Middle East. Major cities like Abu Dhabi and Riyadh are witnessing a construction boom of massive data centers, fueled by the demand for digital infrastructure and the growth of AI use cases. In this brilliant piece by Patrick Sisson, I talk about the data center boom in the region, government incentives, subsea cables, and geopolitical factors. Happy reading! #AI #digitaltransformation #middleeast #technology #datacenters #cloud

In large cities like Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Kuwait City, massive data-center complexes are being built to enable one of the most expensive and valuable things in the world: the digital cloud. The Middle East doubled its IT infrastructure between 2021 and 2024, and the amount of data-center space under construction has increased twofold during that time — from 171 megawatts to 368 MW. The region’s location at a geopolitical pinch point has long made it a political and economic nexus, and its petroleum wealth has made it a financial superpower. Now, the Middle East and its largesse are becoming a preeminent power player in the data business — the oil of the digital age. https://lnkd.in/gM9hGG-Q

The Saudi Arabia data center market is in a transformative time. With growing demands for a larger digital infrastructure, a robust infrastructure development plan, and Saudi Vision 2030 bringing significant investments into relevant sectors, the overall market size will grow from USD 1.78 billion in 2023 to USD 3.12 billion in 2029. Additionally, its strategic location connecting the East and West, governmental support, and smart projects such as NEOM joint venture with ezditek for the development of a data center, which will host Oracle, have exemplified Saudi Arabia’s position in the global data center market. In this exclusive piece that appears in the special Middle East supplement of the latest issue of W.Media's Cloud & Datacenters magazine, Beard explores the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and uniqueness of the Saudi Arabia data center market in a rapidly growing world. 👉 To read the complete article, or to download your complimentary copy, please visit: https://lnkd.in/ei7efURs 👉Contact us at media@w.media to learn more about how you can get featured in our next issues. #CloudandDatacentersMagazine #DataCenters #Colocation #SaudiArabia #MiddleEast #Infrastructure

Absolutely agree - contracts vs collaboration isn't the way forward! Nancy Lamb, thanks for sharing your insight. This is how I approach High Power Busbar Projects, the challenges presented by OFCI/CFCI Manufacturers alongside GC/EC/Installer contracts defining scope and testing feasibility and the pitfalls of timing, can cause critical path delays in commissioning - these delays are often extended by the need to avoid blame. If you have a High Power Busbar project at any stage and your unsure of something or need a new plan - send me a message.
