    Piwik PRO launches UAE data center to support MENA customers

    12 August 2025

    Piwik PRO, a privacy-first analytics platform provider, has launched a new regional data center in the UAE's North to better serve customers across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This addition enhances the company’s global hosting network, which already includes North America, Europe, and Hong Kong, and helps organizations meet strict local and international privacy requirements, such as the UAE PDPL, Hong Kong PDPO, or the GDPR.

    Powering the region’s digital transformation

    In 2024, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Internet Data Center (IDC) market was valued at almost 250 Million USD and is projected to double in 2032, growing at a CAGR of 10.46%. The rapid growth of UEA as a data center hub is fueled by digital and AI transformation, progressive government initiatives, and rising demand for cloud computing and data sovereignty. As public and private organizations accelerate their digital strategies, reliable, secure, and scalable hosting solutions are essential for supporting innovation and long-term growth.​​​​

    Our UAE data center empowers local and international organizations to meet strict compliance requirements without sacrificing analytics quality. It's a significant turning point in our goal to offer regionally specific solutions that meet a wide range of privacy regulations.

    Wiktor Lewandowski, Head of DevOps & Security at Piwik PRO.

    The most important factors powering the UAE data center expansion, in addition to strategic location and advanced digital infrastructure, are:
    • Government support – Initiatives such as the UAE Digital Government Strategy 2025 and Smart Dubai promote digital transformation and encourage local data hosting.
    • Cloud adoption – As global cloud providers establish regional facilities, UAE-based businesses benefit from lower latency, improved security, and compliance with national regulations.
    • Economic diversification – As the UAE transitions to a knowledge-based economy, data centers play a critical role in supporting key sectors such as finance, healthcare, logistics, and e-commerce.
    • Security and compliance – With the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) reinforcing the importance of data sovereignty, demand for local hosting continues to grow.

    Local compliance, global standards

    For businesses in regulated sectors such as government, healthcare, finance, energy producers, and telecommunications, choosing the right hosting location is critical. 

    With the launch of our UAE-based infrastructure, Piwik PRO enables organizations across the Middle East to access a secure, privacy-first analytics platform that ensures full data residency and compliance with local regulations.
