center3: ksa central 4

Located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Central 4 facility operated by center3 is part of the company’s strategic mission to position Saudi Arabia as a major regional digital infrastructure hub. center3 is a subsidiary of stc Group (Saudi Telecom) and has made it a core goal to create carrier-neutral, scalable data-centre sites that serve cloud, content, enterprise and connectivity workloads across the MENA region.

Central 4 supports that vision by offering digital-infrastructure capacity aligned to the country’s broader “Vision 2030” digital transformation agenda. The facility benefits from Saudi Arabia’s strategic geolocation between Europe, Asia and Africa, and sits within an expanding network of data centres and connectivity assets that center3 is rolling out across the Kingdom. 

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• The site is one of several designed for high scalability, with center3 targeting a total installed capacity of 1 GW of data-centre power across its portfolio by 2030. 
• Built to be carrier-neutral, allowing customers to access multiple network providers and interconnect services — a hallmark of center3’s infrastructure strategy. 
• Designed with modern data-centre engineering practices (resilient power feeds, modular halls, high availability cooling) although specific MW, kW/rack or PUE figures for Central 4 are not publicly disclosed.
• Positioned to support cloud & content workloads as well as enterprise-class colocation — consistent with center3’s model of combining connectivity, cloud readiness and regional reach.

🔐 Security & Compliance

• Security is built into center3’s data-centre portfolio as a standard: 24/7 operations, strong physical access controls, monitoring, and redundancy. 
• Operational compliance aligns with regional and international best-practice expectations (data-hosting regulation in Saudi Arabia, connectivity infrastructure, etc.).
• While specific certifications (Tier levels, ISO standards) for Central 4 aren’t listed in the publicly available material, the broader center3 facilities claim to support enterprise-demand workloads and thus adhere to high-availability frameworks.
