With these new regulations and the high demand for data centres , GDH recognises the need to grow both quickly and sustainably . To deal with this short timeline , the company has signed a framework agreement with its vendors and partners to ensure it has a commitment from its supply chain , in terms of the delivery of equipment to facilitate this expansion .
Concluding , Mohammed explains how the future for GDH is heavily focused on this expansion : “ Our plan is to invest US $ 1bn in the the next 12 to 18 months to multiply our capacities three- or fourfold , which is already in the pipeline . We are rolling out in Bahrain , we are rolling out multiple data centres in Saudi , Kuwait , Morocco and Egypt . We are implementing this because there is a huge demand , especially with artificial intelligence , automated cars , augmented reality , and gaming platforms coming in , which are driving huge data centre requirements . We see there is a lot of demand coming in the future , so we are trying to multiply our operations and projects four-fold .”
