Oman Data Park

Oman Data Park provides data centres, cloud services and IT management in Oman. Its clients include oil and gas companies, among others.

Oman Vision 2040 includes a robust new ICT strategy which includes expanding data centre service in the country. The national vision alongside increasing industrial digitisation, the rapid growth of digital technologies, and the increasing prevalence of the internet of things make this a growth area in energy and across many other sectors.

CENTRES: Oman Data Park has four state-of-the-art data centres: KOM DC-1, KOM DC-2, Waatava DC-3 and Duqm DC 4. A fifth facility in Nizwa, to be completed in 2024, will have 210 racks, which can be expanded to 400 racks in the future, at which point Oman Data Park will have 915 racks in five centres.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE: Collocating IT servers within a data park provides significant savings on building structure, cooling systems, bandwidth and security measures for clients. At Oman Data Park, colocation customers enjoy an average reduction of up to 35% in their total costs.

SECURITY: Multi-layered human and digital security and cutting-edge smoke detection and firefighting keep equipment and data safe.

KEEPING COOL: Tabreed cooling and backup cooling systems provide a constant 15 degrees Celsius for optimal, continuous, equipment operation.
