Building on its strengths in construction, MEP, logistics, fitout and technology integration and looking to cater to growing demand for regional data centres, ALEC has announced the establishment of its newest subsidiary, ALEC Data Centre Solutions.
In addition to designing, implementing and commissioning turn-key data centres that conform to the highest international standards, the company will offer clients prefabricated data centres for quick deployments within the region. It is also set to be the first in the region to specialise in liquid immersion solutions that will result in more sustainable, customisable and cost-effective data centres. In the coming weeks, ALEC Data Centre Solutions will also inaugurate its flagship experience centre where clients and prospects will have the opportunity to see the company’s solutions first-hand and engage with experts about their specific requirements.
Buoyed by the wave of Digital Transformation, as well as concerns around data sovereignty and security, the UAE has seen a sharp increase in the demand for local data centres. In fact, the country is one of the largest data centre hubs in the Middle East and is expected to attract investment of over US$1,015 million by 2026, representing a CAGR of 7.99% between 2021 to 2026. However, apart from a few large organisations, conceptualising, building and commissioning data centres has been a challenge for most enterprises in the region.
