Overview
Gulf Data Hub (GDH) is a Dubai-based colocation data center operator that describes itself as the largest such provider in the MENA region. The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Dubai Silicon Oasis, with its footprint extending across the Gulf into Saudi Arabia via facilities in Jeddah and Dammam alongside its UAE sites in Dubai and Abu Dhabi (including ICAD III).
GDH sells retail and wholesale colocation, disaster recovery, managed hosting and cloud-adjacent services to private enterprises and government organizations across the region. Its own LinkedIn profile lists 40 MW of operational capacity with a further 90 MW under construction, though those figures appear to be a snapshot from an earlier point and the company has not published an updated portfolio total on its current public site (which shows placeholder zeros for operational DCs and IT capacity).
Ownership, current executive leadership, tenant list, and any recent funding round could not be verified against a primary source during this pass. The company site's news section is empty, and the .com domain has lapsed to a parking page, leaving the .ae site and the LinkedIn profile as the only live self-published surfaces.
