Abu dhabi: EHC Investment, a diversified investment platform based in Abu Dhabi and a subsidiary of International Holding Company (IHC), has partnered with Supermicro, Inc., a global leader in IT solutions, to jointly develop Sovereign AI Modular Data Centres (MDCs) in the UAE. This strategic relationship will leverage Supermicro's Data Centre Building Block Solutions (DCBBS) architecture to advance the deployment of AI-ready digital infrastructure.
According to Emirates News Agency, the collaboration between EHC Investment and Supermicro aims to provide high-performance, energy-efficient data centre solutions that can support AI, high-performance computing, and advanced cloud workloads. By combining Supermicro's DCBBS framework with EHC Investment's regional presence and infrastructure capabilities, the partnership seeks to deliver scalable and high-density MDCs with reduced deployment timelines.
