The center employs advanced cooling technologies including direct liquid cooling and hybrid cooling systems, alongside renewable energy integration to achieve LEED Gold certification for green buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The massive electrical and computing capacity enables the operation of national AI models, high-performance computing, and large-scale national data analytics under SDAIA&#8217;s unified oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SDAIA-Unveils-Hexagon-480MW-Data-Center-in-Saudi-Arabia2_ssict_1200_545.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SDAIA-Unveils-Hexagon-480MW-Data-Center-in-Saudi-Arabia2_ssict_1200_545-1024x465.webp\" alt=\"SDAIA Unveils Hexagon- 480MW Data Center in Saudi Arabia2_ssict_1200_545\" class=\"wp-image-59475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SDAIA-Unveils-Hexagon-480MW-Data-Center-in-Saudi-Arabia2_ssict_1200_545-1024x465.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SDAIA-Unveils-Hexagon-480MW-Data-Center-in-Saudi-Arabia2_ssict_1200_545-300x136.webp 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SDAIA-Unveils-Hexagon-480MW-Data-Center-in-Saudi-Arabia2_ssict_1200_545-768x349.webp 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SDAIA-Unveils-Hexagon-480MW-Data-Center-in-Saudi-Arabia2_ssict_1200_545-1080x491.webp 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SDAIA-Unveils-Hexagon-480MW-Data-Center-in-Saudi-Arabia2_ssict_1200_545.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economic and Strategic Dimensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industry estimates suggest Tier IV data center construction costs range between $7 and $12 million per megawatt, placing Hexagon&#8217;s capital investment in the billions of dollars. The project is expected to generate thousands of jobs across data center operations, cybersecurity, data analytics, and AI solution development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative forms part of Saudi Vision 2030&#8217;s broader strategy to position the Kingdom as the region&#8217;s premier destination for technology investment and to build a knowledge economy powered by data, AI, and supercomputing. Owning a government data center of this scale strengthens Saudi Arabia&#8217;s negotiating position in international technology partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach aligns with a growing global movement toward sovereign clouds and national AI infrastructure, as countries increasingly seek to maintain control over their digital assets rather than relying solely on foreign service providers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SDAIA breaks ground on Hexagon, the world&#8217;s largest government data center with 480MW capacity and Tier IV
