GDH has leveraged Vertiv’s next-generation UPS and cooling solutions to achieve remarkable energy efficiency and operational excellence.
Vertiv and Gulf Data Hub (GDH) have come together for their transformational multi-year data center collaboration project at a facility dedicated to advancing biotechnological research and renewable energy generation in Dubai, UAE. This collaboration recognizes their shared commitment to establish new data center efficiencies and sustainability benchmarks in the region, leveraging Vertiv uninterruptible power supply (UPS), energy storage and cooling technologies.
Vertiv has supported GDH in successfully deploying a new purpose-built, state-of-the-art data center in Dubai Silicon Oasis, helping to achieve high energy efficiency and operational excellence. For almost 10 years, Vertiv has lent its expertise and resources to help realize GDH’s project potential, providing next-generation technologies and solutions that have proven influential in helping meet critical milestones. The Dubai Silicon Oasis data center’s implementation has enabled GDH to maintain robust operational efficiency with enhanced power usage effectiveness (PUE) while supporting world-class functionality standards.
Ian Paul, Director, Colocation and Hyperscale Strategic Segments for Middle East, Turkey & Central Asia, Vertiv, said, “Collaborating with Gulf Data Hub on the innovative 16MW data center at Dubai Silicon Oasis showcases our dedication to pioneering data center efficiency and sustainability in the region. Through our advanced UPS and cooling solutions, we have empowered GDH to attain exceptional energy efficiency and operational excellence, establishing new benchmarks for functionality and sustainability throughout the Middle East.”
Himmath Mohammed, Chief Information Officer, Gulf Data Hub, said, “Vertiv’s commitment to innovation and reliability has been a driving force in shaping the data center landscape. As we navigate the dynamic challenges of the digital era, Vertiv continues to stand out as a strategic partner, providing cutting-edge solutions that enable operational efficiency and resilience. I am confident that Vertiv’s forward-thinking approach will continue to play a pivotal role in addressing the evolving needs of businesses in the ever-changing technological landscape.”
GDH and Vertiv began collaborating with the Dubai Silicon Oasis 4MW facility on multiple data centers across the Middle East. Since its inauguration, the facility has expanded its operational scope to meet the growing demands for sophisticated data management and energy-efficient solutions. Supported by Vertiv critical digital infrastructure solutions, including the Vertiv Liebert EXL S1UPS and Vertiv Liebert Chilled Water Air (CWA) Thermal Wall cooling systems, the facility has addressed long-standing challenges in power reliability, efficient cooling, and energy storage.
GDH has significantly expanded its operational footprint in the region in recent years, with five facilities in Abu Dhabi, six in Saudi Arabia, and two in Egypt. Vertiv solutions power each of these facilities, and the Dubai Silicon Oasis site is set for expansion, with planning and construction well underway for two new buildings alongside the three currently operational.
