- Hyperscale data centers are rapidly emerging across the Middle East and Africa as demand grows for scalable, energy-efficient digital infrastructure to support cloud computing and big data applications
- For instance, Amazon Web Services launched new cloud zones in Cape Town, South Africa, to cater to growing enterprise cloud needs while improving local data storage capabilities
- These facilities support high-density computing environments that power artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced analytics workloads across industries
- For instance, Microsoft partnered with U.A.E-based Etisalat to develop sustainable, hyperscale data centers aligned with the country’s digital transformation agenda
- The surge in hyperscale investments is drawing foreign capital, boosting regional innovation, and positioning the region as a growing digital services hub
