Gulf Data Hub, one of the largest independent data center platforms in the Middle East focused on serving hyperscale demand across the Gulf countries, and KKR have formed a strategic partnership.
KKR will acquire a stake in GDH. The investment, which is subject to customary regulatory approvals, is being made through KKR’s Global Infrastructure strategy.

GDH is focused on delivering the infrastructure required to meet hyperscale demand across the region to support increasing data consumption driven by the growing trends in digital connectivity, cloud and artificial intelligence.
