\nA US-based data center operator Datarocx and Data Vault, Pakistan\u2019s first dedicated AI data center, have signed a strategic partnership aimed at transforming Pakistan into a regional hub for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
\nUnder the partnership, Datarocx will extend its US operations into Pakistan, while Data Vault will serve as the sovereign, in country AI infrastructure platform. The agreement, signed in San Francisco, is expected to unlock hundreds of millions of dollars in investment in advanced AI chips, GPU clusters and supporting digital infrastructure to be deployed in Pakistan.
\nDatarocx has obtained Special Technology Zones Authority (STZA) status in Pakistan, enabling the partnership to benefit from incentives designed to attract high tech, export oriented investment. The collaboration is also aligned with STZA\u2019s initiative to support an FDA approved lab in Pakistan, enabling AI driven innovation in regulated sectors such as healthcare, life sciences and digital health.
\nDatarocx operates data centers and cloud infrastructure in the United States, offering colocation, network connectivity, cloud and managed services under one contract, one account manager, one support team and one invoice. The company plans to bring this operating model and service standard to Pakistan through its partnership with Data Vault.
\n\u201cWe are committing meaningful, long term capital into Pakistan\u2019s AI infrastructure,\u201d said Baber Saeed, CEO of Datarocx. \u201cBy combining STZA\u2019s vision with Datarocx\u2019s global operating model and Data Vault\u2019s in country strength, we are creating an AI platform that international customers can trust from day one \u2014 for performance, security and compliance.\u201d
\nAs Pakistan\u2019s first AI focused data center, Data Vault is being developed as the core infrastructure layer for the country\u2019s AI and data economy. The facility will host high density, GPU rich compute clusters optimized for AI training and inference and provide secure, sovereign AI cloud environments for government, enterprises and startups.
\n\u201cPakistan has the talent, the ambition, and now, with Data Vault and Datarocx, the infrastructure to compete at the highest level of AI,\u201d said Mehwish Salman Ali, Founder and CEO of Data Vault. \u201cThis is not just another data center deal \u2014 this is a strategic bet on Pakistan\u2019s future as an AI nation and on our ability to serve the world from here.\u201d
\nThe initiative is expected to create high skill jobs in data center operations, AI engineering, cybersecurity and cloud services; enable Pakistani startups, universities and research labs to deploy large scale AI models on local infrastructure; strengthen digital sovereignty by keeping sensitive workloads in country; and attract additional foreign direct investment into Pakistan\u2019s technology and AI ecosystem.
\nWith deployment moving ahead under the STZA framework, the Datarocx\u2013Data Vault alliance aims to position Pakistan not just as a source of IT talent, but as a strategic destination for world class AI compute and infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
