EHC Investment and Supermicro Announce Strategic Relationship to Enable Sovereign AI Modular Data Center Development Across the UAE and the Region

Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a global leader in application optimized total IT solutions, and EHC Investment, a diversified Abu Dhabi based investment platform and a subsidiary of International Holding Company (IHC), today announced a strategic relationship to jointly advance the development and deployment of Sovereign AI Modular Data Centers (MDCs) in the United Arab Emirates, leveraging Supermicro’s Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS) architecture.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to accelerating the availability of high performance, energy efficient, and sovereign AI ready digital infrastructure. By combining Supermicro’s proven DCBBS framework with EHC Investment’s strong regional presence, infrastructure platforms, and execution capabilities, the partnership aims to deliver scalable, high density data center solutions capable of supporting artificial intelligence, high performance computing, and advanced cloud workloads with significantly reduced deployment timelines.
As global demand for AI infrastructure continues to expand 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 pathway to accelerate deployment while maintaining performance, efficiency, and operational consistency.
Supermicro’s DCBBS architecture integrates computer, networking, storage, power, cooling, rack level integration, and deployment services into a unified, end to end solution. This approach enables faster deployment cycles, typically within six to nine months, compared to traditional data center construction, while reducing execution risk and ensuring predictable performance. Supermicro brings industry leading capabilities in AI optimized servers, advanced liquid cooled systems, and modular infrastructure design.
EHC Investment contributes strong regional presence, infrastructure development expertise, and long term investment alignment within the UAE and broader region. Through this strategic relationship, the parties will collaborate on MDC reference architectures, deployment frameworks, and coordinated delivery models to accelerate the rollout of sovereign AI infrastructure across priority sectors.
The collaboration is also aligned with EHC Investment’s broader strategy of developing and investing in foundational digital infrastructure platforms that support long term economic growth, technological leadership, and global competitiveness. MDC solutions offer a capital efficient, scalable, and repeatable model to enable AI deployment across key sectors including energy, healthcare, financial services, and smart city ecosystems.
This announcement marks the beginning of a strategic working relationship between Supermicro and EHC Investment. As deployment initiatives progress, both organizations will continue to evaluate project opportunities, operational frameworks, and potential pathways for expanded collaboration, with the shared objective of enabling scalable, secure, and high performance AI infrastructure to support the UAE’s digital future.
