Celebrating 15 years in operation this year, we continue working towards our goal of growing further our data centre consulting business in the MENA region,” said Apostolos Kakkos, chairman & CEO of Lamda Hellix.
During the consulting process Lamda Hellix undertook the preparation and review of the design documentation, full liaison with Uptime Institute, the guidance of the project’s contractors and all of the comprehensive and revised reviews during the certification procedure.

The expansion will cover total build-up area of around 31,000sqm, and the combined facilities will deliver over 24MW of IT load once complete by end of 2019. The company also plans to secure the Uptime Institute accreditation for the expansion.
