Enterprise software company SAP and videoconferencing platform Zoom have expanded their data center footprints.
Both are most likely data center leases, rather than new developments.
SAP launched the new data center in Mumbai, India, on June 12, and has said the data center will enable it to extend data federation capabilities to customers in the country.
The location joins SAP's existing data center locations in Europe, the US, and Saudi Arabia.
According to SAP's website, the company offers SAP cloud services from 37 locations in North America, two in South America, 33 in Europe, 15 in Africa, 23 in Asia, and five in Australasia. It is not stated what proportion of these include other companies' cloud regions and colocation facilities, or self-owned and operated data centers.
In India, the company lists locations in Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Pune.
Details about the data center facility have not been provided, including the operator, size, and capacity. DCD has contacted SAP for more information.
In September 2025, SAP said it would invest more than €20 billion ($23.3bn) in expanding its sovereign cloud offering in Europe alone. The company was previously said to be working with Deutsche Telekom, Ionos, and Schwarz on developing an AI data center in Europe, seeking support from the European Union.
Zoom, meanwhile, has launched a data center location in Saudi Arabia, as per Arab News
The videoconferencing platform has leased space at a Center3 data center. The launch is part of the company's $75 million commitment to the region, focusing on AI infrastructure.
Mohannad AlKalash, VP of Zoom for the Middle East, Türkiye, Africa, and Pakistan, said at the inauguration ceremony: "We are now offering our services, including Unified Communications as a Service and Contact Center as a Service, hosted locally and delivered from the heart of Saudi Arabia. This allows us to better serve our customers while meeting local data residency requirements.”
Plans to launch at Center3 have been ongoing since early 2025.
In November 2026, the company said it would lease space in a UK data center in the first half of 2026. Details about the data center were not provided, but Zoom said it would comply with the UK's data residency requirements, enabling UK-only meeting zones and telephony gateways.
