What is the difference between housing and colocation?

Which data centers in Baghdad are ISO 27001 certified?

Filter by certification (ISO 27001, HDS, PCI-DSS) in the comparator to keep only compliant sites.

Learn the basics: colocation, 42U rack, cross-connect, IP transit, Tier III/IV.

What does a rack in Baghdad really cost?

Beyond listed prices, here is the computed cost of a standard 5 kW rack in Baghdad, from our open market model (published method, version 2026.07-v1):

What Baghdad allows

Baghdad has 3 data centers, operated by AL-MARAJ AL-ALAMIYA Co., Commercis, AL-SAHIN AL-SHABALY Co.

Connectivity from Baghdad

2 networks are listed at the sites in Baghdad according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works.

The electricity behind Baghdad

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Baghdad are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 53% of its electricity from natural gas (2024). The detail: natural gas 53%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 45.4%, hydro 1.3%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 98.4% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 683 g of CO2, i.e. 1.5 times the world average (458 g), 2024 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 24.2 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

What the ground has done under Baghdad

Since 1970, 0 earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 100 km of Baghdad, and 36 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 6.3 in 2018, 167 km away. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

What Baghdad does not allow

No Internet exchange point is listed here: traffic will run over transit bought from a carrier, which is billed by bandwidth. No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.
