What Edarat Group does

Edarat Group is a publicly listed (Saudi Stock Exchange, Tadawul: EDARAT) data center and cloud infrastructure consultancy headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with regional offices in Dubai (UAE), Beirut (Lebanon), and Strasbourg (France). Founded in 2006, the firm delivers end-to-end IT infrastructure services for enterprises, governments, hyperscalers, and financial institutions across MENA and GCC. Its core offerings include data center engineering (consulting, design, CFD analysis, construction management, facility management, testing and commissioning), Tier III carrier-neutral colocation, a sovereign multi-cloud platform (Edarat Cloud, built on VMware, Azure Stack, and IBM Cloud Satellite), an Edge AI modular full-stack AI data center, public cloud deployment, government-grade disaster recovery, GPU-as-a-Service, GPU Cluster Booking, and an Edarat Marketplace for partner solutions. The company differentiates on a vendor-independent consulting model, deep regional expertise in advanced liquid cooling (Rear Door Heat Exchangers, direct-to-chip, immersion) and air-cooled chillers optimized for hot, water-stressed Gulf climates, and alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 procurement frameworks, supported by ISO 9001, Uptime Institute Tier III, LEED, TIA, NFPA, ASHRAE, BICSI, and BCI certifications.

Edarat generates revenue through a mix of project-based professional services (engineering, design, supervision), recurring colocation and managed cloud subscriptions, and consumption-based GPU and public cloud services. Its go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting large organizations and government buyers in MENA and GCC, supplemented by strategic technology alliances with Dell Technologies, NVIDIA, Orange Business, and LightOn, the latter underpinning the jointly launched 'Live Intelligence' sovereign Generative AI platform announced at GITEX 2025. Marquee customer engagements include a data center contract with Banque Saudi Fransi valued at over 5% of BSF's 2025 revenue, an AI data center design and supervision engagement for Al Moammar Information Systems (MIS), and a colocation contract with Edge Network Services. With a track record of 100,000 m² of built space, 340 MW of delivered power capacity, and 50+ data center projects, Edarat is positioned as a regional specialist for sovereign, mission-critical, and AI-ready infrastructure, though revenue and headcount disclosures remain limited relative to its public-listing status.
