Zoom has launched a new data centre in Saudi Arabia to expand infrastructure capacity and support local data residency requirements for enterprises and government entities.
The facility is located at centre3, a provider of carrier-neutral data centres and subsea cable systems.
This deployment builds on Zoom’s broader investment plan for the region, which includes a US$75 million commitment focused on AI infrastructure.
The infrastructure expansion aims to support organisations with strict data compliance needs, including critical national infrastructure bodies and large corporate enterprises.
The facility builds on an existing regional data centre established in 2023.
“The new data centre bolsters our ability to support customers locally and demonstrates our belief in the country’s vision for a more connected, AI-powered future,”
said Mohannad AlKalash, Vice President of Zoom for the Middle East, Türkiye, Africa, and Pakistan.
The launch coincides with Zoom introducing new enterprise productivity tools.
These include ZoomMate, an AI assistant designed to manage workflow tasks, and a productivity suite for generating reports and presentations from meeting contexts.
