It’s no secret that cloud-based services require massive data centers and lots of electricity to function. As the world edges towards a zero-carbon, sustainable future, those data centers will need to transition to fully renewable energy sources.

As an ideal location for large-scale solar generation, the UAE has taken decisive action, with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) inaugurating a new green data center — Moro Hub — through the digital arm, Digital DEWA.

The new facility is located at the massive Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, recognized as the largest single-site solar park in the world. The new data center will also make the record books as the largest solar-powered facility of its type.

“The new data center reflects our commitment to support the development of a sustainable economy and our efforts to transform Dubai into a global green economy hub. Moro Hub has always been a front-runner in promoting digital transformation and sustainability as well as enhancing its integrated solutions to help organizations and companies reach net-zero carbon emissions,” says Saeed Al Tayer, managing director, and chief executive of DEWA.

Arranged over 16,000 square meters and using over 100 megawatts of power, the data center will provide cloud and hosting services, cybersecurity, smart city technology, and more. Dell, Microsoft, and Huawei are among the global leaders providing the technology for the zero-carbon Moro Hub.

“The project is a bright sign in Dubai’s journey towards a sustainable future that takes into account environmental needs,” explained Hamad Al Mansoori, director general of Digital Dubai.

DJI Teases Dual-Camera Osmo Pocket 4P For 2026 Launch

Though most technical claims for the new gimbal come from industry leaks rather than DJI’s own announcement.

DJI has teased a dual-camera version of its Osmo Pocket gimbal, confirming that the Osmo Pocket 4P will launch in 2026. The teaser image is the company’s first preview of the device, following months of speculation about a more advanced model in its pocket camera range.

The image shows a slightly larger device than the existing Osmo Pocket 4, with two camera modules mounted above a compact three-axis gimbal. Reports suggest one camera may use a 1-inch sensor paired with a wide-angle lens, while the second may carry a 3x zoom lens — though DJI has not officially confirmed any of these details.

According to leaks circulating ahead of the launch, the Osmo Pocket 4P could support 4K video at up to 240 frames per second, offer 14 stops of dynamic range and include 10-bit D-Log color support. Those features are commonly used by filmmakers who require greater flexibility during color grading and post-production. Reports also point to Hasselblad color tuning, continuing a partnership that has already appeared in some of DJI’s drone cameras, along with up to 128GB of built-in storage that would reduce reliance on external memory cards during longer shoots.

The device is expected to retain features from the existing Osmo Pocket 4, including a three-axis mechanical gimbal, updated ActiveTrack subject tracking and a flip-out touchscreen display. The Osmo Pocket line is aimed at content creators, vloggers, and independent filmmakers seeking compact equipment that can produce usable footage without a larger camera system.

DJI has not provided pricing or a specific launch date beyond the 2026 window. Industry observers expect the Osmo Pocket 4P to cost more than the standard Pocket 4 because of the dual-camera setup and expanded recording capabilities, though no figures have been disclosed. So far, most of the technical detail circulating around the product remains tied to leaks rather than official confirmation.
