center3: KSA Central 2

KSA Central 2, operated by center3 (a subsidiary of the stc Group), is part of Saudi Arabia’s expanding data-centre infrastructure aimed at establishing the Kingdom as a regional digital hub. The facility falls under center3’s “KSA Central” cluster, which is positioned to serve as a high-density interconnection and cloud-ready node within the Kingdom’s national digital-transformation drive. 

Situated in the central region of the Kingdom, KSA Central 2 offers strategic geographical advantages: proximity to major fibre routes, nationalscale connectivity, access to carrier-neutral infrastructure, and alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 agenda to boost cloud, AI and data-centre capacity.  This facility is designed to support hyperscale workloads, cloud availability zones, and enterprise colocation services in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region.
