Further to reports last August, Aldar Properties has awarded a multi-million dollar contract to Ed Zublin for the construction of Inja-zat's data center and office facility.
Building upon previously released details, located in a 17,000-square metre area at Madinat Mohammad Bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi, the project comprises a two-storey Tier IV data center with a 2,000 square meter data hall designed to support up to 9,000 servers and associated infrastructure.
"The overall programme is on target, with completion of the data center expected to be in early 2008," said Hazem Al Nowais, senior development manager, Aldar Properties.
Ahmad Tawfiq, manager, data center services at Injazat, said: "The data center will offer world-class services, while giving us the ability to expand our service coverage across the entire region, providing clients with the highest level of performance."
