The campus
One secure site, every system in view.
A purpose-built 8,000 m² campus: main data halls with rooftop solar, training academy, substation, generation and cooling plant — all inside a layered secure perimeter.
Digital infrastructure, on Iraqi soil
Built for a nation that cannot afford downtime.
Carrier-neutral infrastructure for government, banking, telecom, cloud, content and national-scale AI.
AI / HPC infrastructure
High-density pods, liquid-cooling connections and 400G+ fibre paths ready for GPU training and inference workloads.
Colocation & recovery
Secure racks, private cages, managed services and a certified disaster-recovery destination for critical operations.
Engineered for Baghdad
International resilience, tuned to local reality.
Every essential system can be maintained without planned shutdown, from the power room to the meet-me room.
1 MW2 MW
Phase 1 capacity, expanding within the same purpose-built facility.
Dual power paths
Independent A and B paths to every rack, with N+1 generation and 72 hours of on-site fuel.
Designed for 52°C
Air-cooled chillers with free cooling and almost no water use, engineered for Baghdad's climate.
Five-layer security
A guarded perimeter, mantrap, biometric halls, customer cages and locked racks.
Carrier-neutral fibre
Two meet-me rooms and geographically diverse routes, open equally to licensed operators.
AI-ready by design
We host the compute.
We do not compete to own it.
Larsa gives enterprises, cloud platforms and research institutions a neutral home for high-density infrastructure in Iraq.
- Liquid-cooling connections integrated into the chilled-water system
- Expansion pad reserved for additional cooling and transformer capacity
- Floor loading and 400G+ fibre paths prepared for GPU racks
- Standard racks up to 20 kW in the high-density pod
Iraqi Data Center Training Academy
Training the engineers who will run Iraq's backbone.
A dedicated academy combining classroom instruction with hands-on rack, fibre, cooling, safety and AI infrastructure training.

Data Center Fundamentals
How a Tier III facility works end to end: power path, cooling, racks, cabling, monitoring and operations.
Critical Power Operations
UPS, switchgear, generators and A/B power distribution, with live maintenance drills and fault scenarios.
Cooling for Extreme Climates
Designing and running cooling built for 52°C ambient: containment, chillers, CRAH units and liquid cooling.
Fibre & Structured Cabling
Fibre splicing, termination, testing and cable management to international standards.
Data Center Network Engineering
Leaf-spine fabrics, BGP, carrier interconnects and cross-connect operations in a carrier-neutral facility.
Sovereign Cloud Operations
Running virtualisation, Kubernetes and storage platforms for government and enterprise tenants.
AI & GPU Infrastructure
High-density GPU racks, liquid cooling, high-speed fabrics and scheduling for AI training and inference.
Physical & Cyber Security Operations
Five-layer physical security, access control, SOC monitoring and ISO 27001-aligned procedures.
Research & Development
Where Iraq's research meets the market.
The Larsa campus is planned to host a dedicated R&D center — an open door for researchers, professors and students to run applied studies that answer real market needs.
Researchers
Academic and industry researchers run energy, cooling and reliability experiments on production-grade infrastructure — from test rigs to full-hall pilots.
Professors
Faculty partners co-design applied research with the Larsa team, supervise projects and use live facility data in teaching and publications.
Students
Graduate and senior students take on thesis projects, internships and hands-on labs inside a working data hall, mentored by operating engineers.
Research directions, set with the market
Cooling & energy above 50°C
High-ambient cooling, free-cooling strategies and power efficiency tuned to Iraq's climate.
Sovereign AI workloads
GPU cluster operations, Arabic-language model serving and localised AI inference at scale.
Network & interconnection
Fibre resilience, carrier peering and edge architectures for government and industry.
Market-driven applied research
Directions prioritised with partners in banking, telecom, energy and the public sector.
Propose a study, a thesis partnership or a joint research programme with Larsa.
Collaborate with the R&D centerR&D programmes are planned targets that open alongside the facility's commissioning.
Development roadmap
From design to a certified, live facility.
A disciplined 20-month target programme, followed by fit-out of the second 1 MW hall as demand grows.
