EHC Investment, a subsidiary of International Holding Company (IHC), and Supermicro on Thursday announced a strategic relationship to jointly drive the development and deployment of sovereign AI modular data centers (MDCs) in the UAE, leveraging Supermicro’s Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS) architecture.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to accelerate the availability of high-performance, energy-efficient, and sovereign AI-enabled digital infrastructure.
By combining Supermicro’s proven DCBBS framework with EHC Investment’s strong regional presence, infrastructure platform, and execution capabilities, this partnership aims to deliver scalable, high-density data center solutions capable of supporting AI, high-performance computing, and advanced cloud workloads with significantly reduced deployment timelines.
As global demand for AI infrastructure continues to grow rapidly, access to power-dense, high-performance computing capacity has emerged as a critical constraint.
Modular data centers delivered through Supermicro’s validated and productized DCBBS approach provide a reliable and repeatable path to accelerate deployment while maintaining performance, efficiency, and operational consistency.
Supermicro’s DCBBS architecture combines computing, networking, storage, power, cooling, rack-level integration, and deployment services into an integrated end-to-end solution. This approach reduces deployment cycles (typically within 6-9 months), reduces execution risk, and ensures predictable performance compared to traditional data center construction.
EHC Investment has a strong regional presence, infrastructure development expertise and long-term investment alignment within the UAE and wider region.
Through this strategic relationship, the parties will collaborate on MDC reference architectures, deployment frameworks, and coordinated delivery models to accelerate the deployment of sovereign AI infrastructure across priority areas.
This partnership is also consistent with EHC Investment’s broader strategy to develop and invest in foundational digital infrastructure platforms that support long-term economic growth, technological leadership and global competitiveness.
MDC solutions provide capital-efficient, scalable, and repeatable models to enable AI adoption across key sectors such as energy, healthcare, financial services, and smart city ecosystems.
This announcement marks the beginning of a strategic partnership between Supermicro and EHC Investment. As implementation efforts progress, both organizations will continue to evaluate project opportunities, operational frameworks, and potential pathways for expanded cooperation, with the shared goal of enabling a scalable, secure, and high-performance AI infrastructure that supports the UAE’s digital future.
