BYNET DATA CENTRES
“ Around three years ago, when AI development really picked up, everything changed,” he says.“ It meant that for companies like ours, growth was exponential and, from a technology perspective, everything needed a new approach – power, equipment, partners, cooling and the design of the data centres themselves. It also requires pace; the data centre you planned two or three years ago just won’ t work in the future if you haven’ t ensured every aspect is AI-ready.”
The technical demands extend beyond power density, says Moti. AI workloads behave differently from traditional computing in ways that break standard infrastructure assumptions. Traditional electrical systems interpret that kind of fluctuation as a fault and shut down, while cooling systems designed for steady-state loads can’ t respond quickly enough.
Jerusalem and Soham: designing for what comes next Bynet’ s strategic response has been to design its next generation of facilities specifically for AI readiness. The company is developing two flagship sites in Jerusalem and Soham, both engineered to handle the power densities and variable loads that characterise modern AI workloads. The company’ s Jerusalem of Gold site acts as an AI innovation lab, designed specifically for testing and developing customer-led AI solutions. Typically this work includes stress testing extreme AI and GPU driven workloads and developing cooling technologies.
“ A key part of my role is to understand the future needs of neoclouds and hyperscalers in order to inform how Bynet grows”
Eli Moshe, Chief Executive Officer, Bynet Data Centres
“ A key part of the shift in my strategic approach was that we have to have a lab like this to ensure Bynet can meet customer demands and make the next generation of data centres we build AI ready,” says Eli.“ It has to work that way. You cannot build a data centre and then retrofit it for the future. This lab process, development and innovation that Moti and our team carry out is essential if we are going to stay ahead in the market.”
Bynet’ s Jerusalem of Gold facility is considered part of the digital backbone for Israel’ s cloud computing needs, offering maximum security and survivability. Covering around 14,000 sqm it holds 1,650 racks and has an 8MW power capacity. The company is the only data centre firm to build in Jerusalem, also owning two other sites – Jerusalem of Silver and Jerusalem of Light.
It is currently also developing a 20MW data centre facility in Soham, due to open at the end of 2026.
