 Datalec, a global provider of integrated data center delivery solutions, has announced the official establishment of a new entity in Saudi Arabia, marking a significant milestone in its strategic expansion across the Middle East.

The new entity strengthens Datalec’s ability to deliver end-to-end services, including the design, construction, and full fit-out of data centers, in one of the fastest-growing digital infrastructure markets globally.

Saudi Arabia is targeting approximately 1.5 gigawatts of data center capacity by 2030 as part of its national data center strategy, supported by substantial public and private sector investments. Regulatory frameworks, including personal data protection laws and cloud computing regulations requiring local data hosting, are further driving demand for compliant, in-country infrastructure solutions.

At the same time, leading hyperscale cloud providers—including Amazon Web Services, Google, Oracle, and Microsoft—are continuing to invest in establishing cloud regions in the Kingdom, with Microsoft Azure expected to launch by Q4 2026.

Sean Christie, Regional Director at DPI Middle East, commented: “Formalizing our presence in Saudi Arabia is a pivotal step in our regional growth journey and reflects our long-term commitment to supporting the Kingdom’s digital transformation.”

He added that the new entity builds on the company’s established presence in the UAE, enabling Datalec to deliver the same level of precision, flexibility, and integrated capabilities to clients and partners within Saudi Arabia.
