Core42, a G42 company specializing in sovereign cloud, AI infrastructure and digital services, recently announced the expansion of its next-generation AI cloud offering by deploying NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs in the UAE.
This milestone establishes Core42 as the pioneer in the UAE, offering scalable AI compute resources. The company’s expansion eliminates the need for customers to own physical infrastructure. Moreover, it provides the tools necessary to navigate complex data sovereignty and regulatory requirements.
Core42 deploys NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD
As demand for AI-driven solutions grows globally, access to sovereign AI infrastructure is critical for digital transformation, particularly for the public sector and regulated industries. To address this challenge, Core42 has deployed an NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with NVIDIA DGX H100 systems. The company will also utilize HGX accelerated systems supported by Dell PowerEdge XE9680 with NVIDIA cards, delivering high-performance acceleration for AI, HPC, and data analytics workloads.
“Having witnessed the remarkable impact of our AI cloud offering with our clients, we are thrilled to introduce NVIDIA H100 GPUs in the UAE,” said Adrian Hobbs, chief technology officer at Core42.
This infrastructure allows significant performance gains for demanding applications and enterprise-scale generative AI. Besides, the expansion of offering positions Core42 among the first in the region to deploy advanced U.S. compute technologies in its Regulated Technology Environment (RTE).
Access to NVIDIA DGX experience
Core42 has also made the full NVIDIA DGX experience available locally, leveraging the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform.
Recently, G42 announced the establishment of a Climate Tech Lab in Abu Dhabi with NVIDIA. This facility builds on NVIDIA’s Earth-2 platform to visualize weather and climate predictions.
