Cisco Systems, Advanced Micro Devices, and Saudi Arabia’s Humain are teaming up to build data centers in the Middle East. CEOs of the two companies told Reuters on Tuesday that the joint venture has already landed its first customer.
Humain CEO Tareq Amin said that the joint venture — which is yet to be named — will kick off with a 100-megawatt (MW) data center project in Saudi Arabia. The computing capacity of the data center will be supplied by generative video startup Luma AI, contracted by Humain.
“They will be the first customer of this cluster,” Amin said, adding that Luma has contracted to purchase the entire 100MW capacity.
The joint venture is among the deals that took place following President Donald Trump’s visit to Riyadh in May. More collaboration is expected as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Trump meet in Washington this week.
