Core42, a UAE-based leader in sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure, has announced the launch of a self-service AI Cloud platform at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai. The new platform provides organizations with instant, on-demand access to Nvidia-accelerated computing, featuring a flexible pay-as-you-go pricing model designed to accelerate enterprise AI adoption across the region.
Enterprise-Grade Accelerated Computing
The platform enables users to deploy advanced compute resources in minutes and manage AI workloads across their entire lifecycle. This includes model training, fine-tuning, and real-time inference at an enterprise scale. With options for both short-term and long-term commitments accessible through a simple console, Core42 aims to lower the barrier to entry, allowing businesses to move from concept to execution with speed and efficiency. The service combines hourly pricing with managed orchestration to support rapid prototyping and model hosting.
Advancing Sovereign AI Capabilities
Operating on UAE sovereign compute infrastructure, the platform is strategically positioned to address the critical need for data residency and compliance, particularly for regulated sectors and geopolitically sensitive applications. As enterprise adoption of large language models and agentic AI systems grows, so does the demand for substantial and secure compute resources.
This launch establishes Core42 as the first regional neocloud provider to offer accelerated computing capabilities comparable to global cloud platforms while maintaining sovereign integrity. Global sovereign cloud spending is projected by the International Data Corporation to nearly double from $133 billion in 2024 to $259 billion by 2027.
Built-in Governance and Compliance
A key feature of the AI Cloud is its tiered governance system for GPU allocation. Access to Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) is automatically managed through a vetting system that aligns with Nvidia license conditions.
This ensures that GPU allocation is compliant with workload requirements and volume, while also maintaining transparent audit trails throughout all operations. This integrated security and compliance framework enables innovators to develop mission-critical AI applications with confidence.
