CEO Dowson Tong revealed plans to expand the number of “availability zones,” locations designated as sites for potential clusters of data centres, for its cloud services over the next 12 to 18 months, in countries across Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East, CNBC reported.
According to Dowson, the company is “actively” exploring building data centres in the Middle East to service cloud customers.
“We do intend to increase our investment in the region and establish a stronger partnership network. And that’s all in the plan,” he said, declining to give more specific timelines or countries where exactly the availability zones might be,” he said.
This comes as data centres in the Middle East remain the subject of much conversation. At Capacity Middle East last year, it was stated that the data centre market in the Middle East was undergoing unprecedented growth and projections indicated that it would double by 2030.
The company launched a cloud region in Saudi Arabia early last year, featuring two availability zones. Currently, most of its operations are based in Asia, alongside, in locations including Silicon Valley, Virginia, Toronto, Frankfurt and São Paulo.
