du significantly increases its data centre capacity and strengthens its position as a leading data centre provider in UAE.
du, a leading telecom and digital services provider, has unveiled a hyperscale data centre to be built and operated with a cost valued around 2 billion AED. The data centre capacity will be delivered in tranches with Microsoft as the main tenant.
Fahad Al Hassawi, CEO of du, said: ‘This represents a pivotal leap in our strategic goal to revolutionise the digital ecosystem of the UAE and significant milestone in our strategy and efforts to growing beyond our core enterprise offerings.
“Exceeding traditional infrastructure boundaries, the data centre will be established as a critical infrastructure that will underpin a wide array of future technologies, it reflects the immense potential of this sector in our region, driven by surging demand for AI capabilities, sovereign cloud, and increased capacity needs.”
du’s commitment to this project underscores the significance of technological advances in shaping economic landscapes and enriching community standards, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a global leader in technology and sustainability.
Currently, du operates five data centres across the UAE, offering secure and scalable foundation for digital applications and services. With du’s world-class infrastructure, organisations are able to migrate their systems more effectively to the cloud while providing greater control over operations, location and security to help support digital sovereignty.
