center3
Saudi digital infrastructure company operating data centers, subsea cables and internet exchanges
Overview
center3 is a digital infrastructure company launched in October 2022 to hold the connectivity and data center assets of stc Group, headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Its reported portfolio spans carrier-neutral data centers, subsea cable systems and internet exchange points, positioning the Kingdom as a connectivity hub linking Europe, Asia and Africa. The company has announced hyperscale data center capacity in Riyadh and Jeddah, including a Tier IV-certified facility, and is a partner in subsea cable projects such as the EMC West system connecting Saudi Arabia to Europe, built with Alcatel Submarine Networks.
As the entity consolidating stc’s data center, subsea cable and internet exchange assets, center3 positions itself as a regional digital-infrastructure hub rather than a retail cloud or hosting brand aimed directly at end customers.
