CAIRO, EGYPT, Mar 28, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) — IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Telecom Egypt today announced the construction of an innovative, state-of-the-art data center for Telecom Egypt that includes the world’s most sophisticated energy-efficient “green” technologies.

Telecom Egypt (TE) is the leading telecommunications provider in Egypt, and the largest provider of fixed-line services in the Middle East with more than 10.4 million customers. Striving to improve customer satisfaction as a key long term success factor, TE chose IBM in 2007 to design and build the most sophisticated and energy-efficient data center in Egypt. Construction was recently completed.

IBM Global Technology Services (GTS) site and facilities division designed the highly resilient data center environment that will be fully equipped to protect TE’s valuable information technology (IT) investments, taking into consideration all factors required for the project such as cabling systems, flooring trenches, switching systems, electromechanical systems and data center layout.

Very cool, I highlighted this article to illustrate that the demand for data centers continues world wide, whether its for grid in London, web farms in New York or telecoms and in Egypt. As more countries benefit from these new media, rich content solutions, we need the data center capacity, the storage etc to deliver this demand.
