Syntys, a Middle Eastern digital infrastructure service provider, has officially launched the construction of a new 20 MW data center project in Qatar. The facility is located in the park where Syntys has been put into operation, and the park has complete power supply, fiber optic network, and professional operation and maintenance team.  

Syntys stated in an official press release that this data center is tailor-made for ultra large scale computing power, cloud services, artificial intelligence, and advanced computing services in terms of computing capacity. This facility is "operator neutral" and designed to meet Tier-III reliability standards. It can adapt to various cabinet power densities and support high-density deployment scenarios for GPU accelerated artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC).  

H.E. Mohammed bin Ali bin Mohammed Al Mannai, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Senior representatives from Ooredoo Group, Microsoft, Google, Qatar Power and Water Corporation Kahramaa, National Cybersecurity Agency, Qatar Free Zone Authority, and several local banks participated in the event.  

Sunita Bottse, CEO of Syntys, said, "Qatar is our core domestic market, and we see that market demand is shifting towards larger scale, higher cabinet density, and more diverse deployment forms of computing projects. We continue to invest to match market demand, and this new computing resource is designed specifically for high-density computing scenarios that our customers will need in the future

Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo, CEO of Ooredoo Group, said, "Digital infrastructure is the foundation of modern economy. I am proud of Syntys' milestone investment, which will further solidify Qatar's capabilities in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and advanced digital services. Ultimately, the success of digital transformation depends on how many development opportunities we can create for businesses, technical talents, and future generations. ” 

This project is part of Syntys' Qatar market expansion strategy, where the company adopts a dual line parallel model of acquisition and new construction to expand its business scale. Earlier this year, Syntys acquired QData QFZ LLC, adding two operator neutral data centers that have already been put into operation and meet Tier-III standards. Currently, Syntys operates four data center parks in Qatar, supporting customers to deploy production business systems and disaster recovery systems in different locations within their country.  

The project meets the compliance requirements of "data sovereignty" and operates within the country, ensuring that sensitive data is retained within the country. It also lays a solid foundation for local developers and enterprises to develop and deliver digital services to end-users nearby. This new project is also in line with Qatar's 2030 Digital Agenda. This national plan lists digital infrastructure as one of the six strategic pillars, aiming to achieve an economic driving effect of approximately 40 billion Qatari riyals (QAR) by 2030.Editor/XuNing
