stc Group subsidiary centre3, completes 9.6MW expansion of its hyperscale datacentre in Khurais

centre3, the digital hub and provider of hosting and data services in the MENA region and a stc Group subsidiary, has completed a 9.6MW expansion of its hyperscale-grade datacentre Khurais in Riyadh. The expansion enhances centre3’s hosting capacity for customers and accelerates the development of the MENA region’s digital industry.

The newly expanded datacentre features state-of-the-art infrastructure and advanced technologies and is built to meet global hyperscale requirements. The additional capacity will allow centre3’s customers to scale their cloud services and other digital services faster and more reliably.

This expansion follows centre3’s plan to build new datacentres across Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, and other strategic locations in the Saudi Arabia to address its customers’ requirements for high availability, disaster recovery, and scalability. The new facilities will feature operational standards that support service-level agreements and key performance indicators aligned with best-in-class international standards.

Eng Fahad AlHajeri, CEO of Centre3, commented: “We are proud to announce the expansion of our Khurais datacentre in Riyadh. We are committed to investing in the latest technologies and providing exceptional services to our customers while meeting growing demand. Through this milestone, we also contribute to the regional datacentre industry’s development, which is crucial for the Saudi Arabia and the wider region’s digital transformation as it enables the localisation of digital applications.”

The new developments at centre3 are a continuation of stc Group’s expansion in scale and scope by providing its customers with a full ICT ecosystem through a number of subsidiaries. centre3 aims to reach over 300MW of managed capacity in the next few years, not just within Saudi Arabia but beyond as well. This operating model is well-aligned with stc Group’s “DARE” strategy and the Group’s development plans to position Saudi Arabia as a major digital hub for the MENA region.
