Umniah’s New Data Center, the Largest in Amman, Nears Launch Following Tier III Facility Certification

The certification marks a major step in Umniah by Beyon’s continued investment in Jordan’s digital infrastructure, expanding its capacity to support businesses and institutions with reliable data hosting and enterprise technology services.

Amman, Jordan – Umniah by Beyon has achieved Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility from Uptime Institute for its new data center in Amman, as the facility approaches launch. The largest data center in Amman, the facility represents a significant addition to the company’s continued investment in Jordan’s digital infrastructure and strengthens its ability to meet the evolving technology needs of businesses and institutions across the Kingdom.

The certification follows the earlier achievement of Tier III Certification of Design Documents and the completion of construction, marking the progression from an approved design to a completed facility that has been independently assessed against the requirements of the Tier III standard.

Tier III infrastructure is designed to be concurrently maintainable, allowing individual capacity components and distribution paths to be taken out of service for planned maintenance without disrupting operations. The standard is associated with an availability benchmark of 99.982%, reflecting the level of infrastructure reliability it is designed to support. This is particularly important for organizations that depend on continuous access to their systems, applications, and data.

Commenting on the achievement, Amjad Farouqa, Director of Information Security and Business Continuity at Umniah, said: "Achieving Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility is an important step as we prepare to launch our new data center. Following the certification of the design documents and completion of construction, this achievement confirms that the facility meets the technical requirements of the Tier III standard. Its concurrently maintainable infrastructure is designed to support planned maintenance without disrupting operations, helping organizations maintain the continuity of the digital services they rely on. As we approach launch, our focus remains on providing robust infrastructure that supports the reliability and operational resilience businesses need."

As organizations expand their use of digital services, their requirements increasingly extend beyond connectivity to include cloud computing, cybersecurity, managed services, and the infrastructure needed to manage and protect their data and systems. The new data center will strengthen Umniah’s broader enterprise offering, building on its established telecommunications and ICT capabilities and expanding the infrastructure available to support businesses and institutions across Jordan.

Abdulsalam Obaidat, Chief Business Officer at Umniah, said: "Businesses in Jordan increasingly need a technology partner that understands their operations and can support them as their requirements evolve. Reliable connectivity remains essential, but organizations also need robust infrastructure and integrated technology solutions to manage their data, protect their operations, and grow confidence. Our investment in this data center expands what we can offer enterprise customers, bringing our understanding of the Jordanian market and our existing capabilities together with the wider expertise and resources of Beyon. It strengthens our role as a long-term technology partner to organizations across the Kingdom."

The new facility will expand the options available to businesses, government entities and private-sector organizations in Jordan for hosting their data and digital systems, as demand for cloud services and AI applications continues to grow. Organizations interested in learning more about the facility and its planned services can contact Umniah’s Business team to discuss their requirements.

With construction complete and Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility secured, Umniah is approaching the launch of a major addition to its digital infrastructure. The upcoming opening will expand the company’s capabilities to serve Jordan’s enterprise sector and support organizations as their technology needs continue to evolve.
