Yotta Dhaka Hyperscale Data Center Campus D1 (28 MW)
Status: Under Construction / Commissioning Phase | Location: Hi-Tech Park, Kaliakair, Gazipur, Greater Dhaka
Project Overview
The Yotta Dhaka Hyperscale Data Center Campus (specifically focusing on its flagship D1 building) represents a major cross-border expansion by Yotta Data Services into the rapidly digitalizing South Asian frontier. Strategically situated within the specialized tech enclave of the Bangabandhu Hi-Tech City in Kaliakair, Gazipur—just on the outskirts of the greater Dhaka metropolitan area this 28 MW development is custom-engineered to address Bangladesh's urgent, soaring demand for sovereign cloud storage, regional data residency compliance, and modern artificial intelligence (AI) computational frameworks.
Architecturally, the campus layout moves away from temporary modular arrangements by building permanent, highly secure multi-story structures designed to attain formal Uptime Institute Tier IV certification. The main D1 building features heavily reinforced structural concrete floors engineered specifically to withstand seismic activities common to the region, alongside custom-tailored data hall floor plans built to easily accept ultra-dense hardware layouts. This structural grounding allows the facility to serve as a reliable platform for local government platforms, rapidly scaling fintech ecosystems, and international hyperscale cloud entities seeking low-latency localized delivery.
From a technical standpoint, the campus is engineered with heavy electrical and mechanical safeguards, including an isolated parallel UPS framework that guarantees continuous power delivery without interruption. The cooling infrastructure relies on a highly advanced closed-loop chilled water design tailored to manage high thermal output efficiently under tropical climatic conditions while strictly minimizing environmental impacts. Operating with a targeted Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) design rating of 1.22, the D1 site stands out as a highly resource-efficient facility within the country's grid ecosystem. Directly connected to the main national fiber rings, the data center provides seamless carrier-neutral integration when the initial modules enter active services in mid-2026.
