Cooling in the Desert: Middle Eastern Data Centers Shift from Air to Liquid

The Middle East is rapidly emerging as a regional hub for liquid-cooled digital infrastructure , driven by ambitious national visions, strategic data center investments, and a surge in artificial intelligence ( AI ) adoption. To support the exponential rise of AI workloads and high-performance computing (HPC) models, the region has committed to establishing large-scale data centers. However, behind this rapid digital acceleration, extreme heat in the region poses a significant bottleneck to data
