Field reports from the
AI infrastructure frontier.
Engineering deep-dives, market analysis, sustainability briefings, and company perspectives from the team building the Kingdom's AI compute backbone. Written by the people doing the work — not by a marketing team.
Why immersion cooling is no longer optional for AI training clusters
NVIDIA H100 GPUs draw 700W. B200 modules draw over 1,000W. A single AI training rack now exceeds 100kW — eight times what a traditional data center was built to dissipate. We walk through the thermodynamics, the operating economics, and the design choices that made dielectric immersion the only viable path for serious AI compute.
The economics of GPU compute in the Kingdom: a 2026 capacity outlook
An honest look at what GPU compute will cost in Saudi Arabia over the next 36 months — what's driving demand, where the supply constraints are, and how power, land, and capital intersect with hyperscaler procurement timelines. Includes our internal capacity outlook through 2029.
From design to operations: how we earned three Uptime certifications in 18 months
A field report from the engineering team. The pre-design discipline that pays off at certification. The four mistakes most operators make on Tier III Design submission. The audit prep cadence that turned what is normally a six-month back-and-forth into a clean first-pass approval.
Inside our 187 MW buildout: a site visit
A walk-through of the active facility — from the substation step-down to the immersion gallery floor. Photographs, build sequencing, and the why behind some of the less obvious design choices visitors notice on a tour but don't always get explained.
Sovereign AI: what KSA’s data residency requirements mean for global cloud architecture
A briefing on the Kingdom's data residency, classification, and sovereignty requirements as they apply to cross-border AI workloads — and the specific architectural patterns that satisfy them without compromising training throughput.
PUE is dead. WUE is dying. The new metrics for AI-era facilities
PUE was a useful proxy for the air-cooled era. It rewards facilities for being efficient at the wrong things in a 100kW/rack world. Here is the metric stack we run on internally — and the one we believe will become the operating-floor standard by 2028.
Hot-aisle to liquid: a retrofit playbook for legacy enterprise data centers
For enterprise teams sitting on a 5–15MW air-cooled estate that needs to host AI inference: a sequenced retrofit plan from hot-aisle containment through DTC, with the structural, plumbing, and operational gating items most teams underestimate.
Power agreements in the Kingdom: a guide for hyperscaler procurement teams
How power procurement works in KSA — utility structure, PPA mechanics, the renewable integration roadmap, and the contractual levers hyperscalers should be negotiating into their wholesale leases.
The 30-year arc of data center cooling — and where it goes next
From CRAC units to hot-aisle containment to liquid. A look back at three decades of thermal management in commercial data centers and a thesis on the next decade — including why two-phase immersion is closer than the market thinks.
