Why local

Why West Bay teams pick Saudi-resident hosting

When a West Bay regulator (CITC, ZATCA, NCA) asks where the data lives, "Riyadh, ksa-c-1" is the answer they want. 12ms median to West Bay is the bonus.

For Qatar regulators: KSA-resident storage, KSA-resident processing, KSA-resident encryption keys. ksa-c-1 only.
