JIKA, a leading specialist in data centre infrastructure projects, announces its participation in DCD>Connect | MENA – Dubai, a premier event for professionals designing, building, and operating next-generation data centres. The event will take place in Dubai on April 15-16, this year, bringing together key industry leaders to explore innovative and sustainable solutions for the AI-driven data centre era.
DCD>Connect | MENA – Dubai will host over 800 senior leaders and experts from the data centre industry, who are working on the Middle East and North Africa’s largest data centre projects. It will feature at least 130 expert speakers, 60+ exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge technology, and three co-located events covering the full digital infrastructure ecosystem.
With the rapid rise in data generation and storage requirements across industries, the demand for scalable, efficient, and climate-resilient infrastructure has never been greater and it is therefore inevitable for countries and corporations to grow in tandem with the projected needs. According to a JLL report, the global data centre storage capacity is expected to double from 10.1 zettabytes (ZB) in 2023 to 21.0 ZB in 2027, reflecting an 18.5% compound annual growth rate over five years.
