Middle East Data Center Physical Security Market Trends and Insights

The IT and Telecom Segment is expected to Hold a Significant Share

IT players are increasingly concerned about the physical security of data centers when transitioning to third-party facilities, even as the industry moves away from on-premise setups towards colocation and cloud services. Telecom data centers typically owned and operated by major players like Deutsche Telekom AG, Verizon, or AT&T, are essential in content delivery and supporting mobile and cloud services, necessitating top-tier connectivity and security.
FOSS LLC, a prominent systems integrator in the UAE, has observed a significant rise in customer demands for physical security and CCTV solutions. This increase is largely attributed to a growing emphasis on safety and security. Notably, advancements in IP-based CCTV systems and software-driven analytics have introduced "intelligent" solutions, reducing the need for constant human monitoring in telecom data centers.
With rising data traffic and networking needs, the United Arab Emirates is experiencing a rise in telecommunication data centers. As the deployment of 5G technology progresses, the demand for secure telecom data centers is expected to increase.
In July 2023, Saudi Telecom's (STC) subsidiary, Center3, expanded its data center in Riyadh. STC is increasing capacities in its existing Riyadh and Jeddah facilities and developing new data centers across key cities like Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam, highlighting the Kingdom's growing data infrastructure.
