Located within Beyon’s Data Oasis in southern Bahrain, the new White Space Data Centre spans 6,000 square metres and features agnostic, sector-adaptive technology and enterprise-grade reliability.

With redundant power and cooling systems, it is engineered for scalability to meet the growing demands of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud service providers, hyperscalers, government entities and large enterprises, the company revealed.

Meanwhile, the data centre is directly connected to the company’s Solar Park, drawing a substantial portion of its electricity from renewable energy sources.

Beyon CEO Andrew Kvaalseth said: “We were delighted to announce the completion of Batelco’s new White Space Data Centre, a cumulation of extensive efforts and investment to bring an ambitious vision to life.  

“This achievement could not have happened without the invaluable support of Bahrain’s government entities and authorities. We are committed to investments that help to attract global tech companies as well as the leading local and regional players.”

Batelco by Beyon CEO Maitham Abdulla added: “The new White Space Data Centre, forming a central part of Batelco’s wider ecosystem, is the largest and most power-dense facility in Bahrain, and one of the most power efficient data centres in the region. It is designed to serve the evolving needs of a wide range of enterprise and government customers. 

“Furthermore, it helps to meet their sustainability requirements as our Data Centre integrates the latest clean power technologies from Beyon’s Solar Park.  Delivering Bahrain’s first White Space Data Centre underscores our commitment to developing world-class digital infrastructure that aligns with Bahrain’s vision for a smart, sustainable digital future.”
