SBC Saudi Building Code CertifiedISO 9001:2015 & ISO 45001 Compliant
Service Overview

Engineering Excellence in Micro Data Center

Thobal engineers, fabricates, and deploys high-availability Micro Data Centers (MDC) and modular edge computing solutions for telecom operators, industrial facilities, remote sites, and enterprise applications across Saudi Arabia. Each unit is a fully self-contained IT environment — combining precision cooling engineered for extreme desert heat, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with lithium-ion battery backup, clean-agent gas fire suppression, structured copper and fiber cabling, smart PDU power monitoring, and physical access security into compact single-rack or multi-rack enclosures. Micro Data Centers bring data processing to the network edge — placing compute, storage, and networking physically close to the users, sensors, and devices that generate data. This slashes latency for 5G, IoT, and industrial applications, keeps sensitive data within the enterprise perimeter, and removes the operational cost of a full brick-and-mortar facility. From the initial thermal load audit to factory fabrication, FAT testing, site integration, and DCIM handover, Thobal delivers cloud-grade reliability with deployment times measured in weeks rather than months.

Scope of Work

Scope of Work & Deliverables

Dedicated engineering supervision and full-scope execution across every stage of micro data center.

Our micro data center solutions provide fully self-contained compute environments equipped with integrated power, N+1 precision cooling, gas fire suppression, biometric security, and DCIM monitoring — delivered as single-rack, multi-rack, or containerized configurations that scale from a few kilowatts to tens of kilowatts per unit.

Engineered for high ambient desert conditions, these modular units allow organizations to deploy reliable edge computing capabilities anywhere in the Kingdom within weeks, whether inside an existing facility, at the network edge, or at a fully remote greenfield site.

Every unit is built to Tier III/IV design principles with N+N power paths, redundant cooling, and dual-feed utility/generator inputs, protecting mission-critical workloads against single points of failure.

Each micro data center undergoes rigorous thermal simulation, heat load testing, dual-UPS runtime validation, and clean-agent fire discharge dry-runs prior to site integration. Deliverables include factory acceptance test (FAT) reports, site acceptance test (SAT) protocols, DCIM telemetry configurations, as-built documentation, and comprehensive operational maintenance manuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical and commercial questions regarding micro data center execution.

A Micro Data Center is a self-contained, standalone IT infrastructure environment housing servers, storage, networking, precision cooling, UPS power backup, fire suppression, and monitoring within a compact rack or enclosure.
Edge computing processes data at or near the source instead of sending it to a distant centralized data center. This reduces latency to milliseconds for 5G, IoT, and industrial applications, cuts bandwidth costs, and keeps sensitive data within the enterprise perimeter.
Because MDCs are factory-assembled and pre-tested, on-site installation and commissioning typically take only 1 to 2 weeks, compared to months for traditional brick-and-mortar data centers. End-to-end deployment runs in as little as 4 to 8 weeks from design to handover.
Yes. Our MDCs feature heavy-duty industrial precision air conditioners rated for ambient outdoor temperatures exceeding +55°C, with IP55 dust and ingress protection and thermal insulation for desert conditions.
Absolutely. Containerized units are IP55/IP65-rated, weather-proof, dust-proof, and anti-vibration, with concrete foundations, earthing, lightning protection, and optional solar or generator integration for off-grid operation.
We engineer MDCs to Tier III/IV principles with N+1 cooling and N+N power paths, delivering up to 99.99% availability for mission-critical edge workloads.
Yes. Every unit comes with a Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) interface allowing real-time remote monitoring of temperature, humidity, power consumption, UPS battery health, and security alerts.
Telecom operators deploying 5G MEC and edge nodes, oil & gas field camps, mining, industrial plants, hospitals, banks, retail branches, government facilities, and remote smart-city or IoT deployments.
Yes. We deliver full as-built documentation, FAT/SAT reports, DCIM configuration, operational maintenance manuals, operator training, and optional preventive maintenance contracts covering HVAC servicing, UPS battery replacement, and remote monitoring support.
