Oracle opening more data centres in UAE and Saudi Arabia as AI demand soars | The National
Oracle is opening new data centres in the UAE and Saudi Arabia to keep up with rising adoption of artificial intelligence, a senior executive has told The National. The technology company, which has cloud regions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the UAE, and Jeddah and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, had already announced plans to open one in the kingdom’s Neom megaproject.
“I can tell you that we're growing the number of data centres we have in the UAE and Saudi,” said Cormac Watters, executive vice president of applications for Oracle Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
The Gulf states are now recovering, although Saudi Arabia continues to face attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels .
