Vertiv Partners With Gulf Data Hub For A New 16MW Data Centre In Dubai

Vertiv and Gulf Data Hub (GDH) have unveiled details of their extensive data centre collaboration in Dubai, UAE. This project focuses on advancing biotechnological research and renewable energy generation. Vertiv has played a crucial role in deploying a new, state-of-the-art data centre at Dubai Silicon Oasis, achieving high energy efficiency and operational excellence.

The Dubai Silicon Oasis data centre has enabled GDH to maintain robust operational efficiency with enhanced power usage effectiveness (PUE). This facility supports world-class functionality standards. Vertiv's advanced UPS and cooling solutions have empowered GDH to achieve exceptional energy efficiency and operational excellence.

Ian Paul, colocation and hyperscale strategic segments director for the Middle East, Türkiye, and Central Asia at Vertiv, stated, "Collaborating with Gulf Data Hub on the innovative 16MW data centre at Dubai Silicon Oasis showcases our dedication to pioneering data centre efficiency and sustainability in the region."

For nearly a decade, Vertiv has provided expertise and resources to help realise GDH’s project potential. Their next-generation technologies have been instrumental in meeting critical milestones. The partnership began with the 4MW facility at Dubai Silicon Oasis and has expanded across multiple data centres in the Middle East.

Himmath Mohammed, Chief Information Officer at Gulf Data Hub, commented, "Vertiv's commitment to innovation and reliability has been a driving force in shaping the data centre landscape. As we navigate the dynamic challenges of the digital era, Vertiv continues to stand out as a strategic partner."

Advanced Technologies

The facility is supported by Vertiv's critical digital infrastructure solutions like the Vertiv Liebert EXL S1 UPS and Vertiv Liebert Chilled Water Air (CWA) Thermal Wall cooling systems. These technologies address challenges in power reliability, efficient cooling, and energy storage.

The energy-efficient features of the Liebert EXL S1 UPS and the space-saving design of the Liebert CWA thermal wall cooling systems have significantly enhanced the facility's sustainability features. This supports GDH’s goals of creating a modern, sustainable facility.

GDH is known for its high-standard colocation services, cloud solutions, and disaster recovery capabilities. The collaboration with Vertiv has allowed them to expand their operational scope to meet growing demands for sophisticated data management and energy-efficient solutions.

This multi-year project highlights how strategic partnerships can drive innovation in critical digital infrastructure. By leveraging advanced technologies, GDH aims to set new benchmarks for functionality and sustainability throughout the Middle East.
