GPU capacity in Dubai.
Dubai is the commercial gateway to the Gulf and an increasingly serious AI infrastructure market. The gate that decides deals here is not capital or capacity; it is export clearance.
What decides a deployment in this metro.
Why buyers come here, and what they run into.
Dubai combines commercial gravity, strong subsea and terrestrial connectivity and an explicit national ambition around AI. Capacity has grown accordingly, with purpose-built facilities that can carry current GPU densities rather than legacy halls straining to.
What decides a Dubai deal is the compliance file. Access to advanced US silicon in the Gulf runs through export policy tied to verified end users and destinations, and no amount of budget substitutes for a clean file. We run screening before commercial terms, which is why our shipments clear.
The design that actually works.
Free zone structures can meaningfully simplify import, staging and onward re-export, with duty treatment that differs from mainland delivery. Which route is right depends on where the hardware will actually run, so we structure the import leg around that rather than defaulting.
For sovereign and government-linked workloads we name the facility, the operator and the ownership chain before commercial terms. Wider context sits on the UAE desk and the sovereign desk.
Start from what is verified.
Current verified lines with quantities, lead times and indicative pricing are public on the live inventory. Anything not listed becomes a sourcing requirement with a first pass inside one business day.
Colocation in Dubai, through the same desk.
The desk sources colocation, racks and power in this metro as well as the compute that fills them. Dubai capacity decisions start with free zone versus mainland, because the import and licensing path differs. Requirements come to us as three numbers: megawatts at day one, kilowatts per rack, and the date. The space and power desk takes it from there, and above 40 kW per rack we will tell you honestly how short the local shortlist is.
Asked first, answered straight.
Yes. Space, power and cooling in this metro route through the same desk as the compute, priced against your density and date. Above 40 kW per rack the local shortlist narrows quickly, and we say so rather than tour you through halls that cannot take the load.
Where the end user verifies and the destination clears under current export policy, yes, landed via free zone or mainland routes. Screening is the first step of every engagement, not the last.
They can simplify import, staging and re-export, with duty treatment that differs from mainland delivery. The right route depends on where the hardware will actually operate.
Increasingly yes, including purpose-built facilities designed for current densities rather than legacy halls retrofitted. We qualify on commissioned power and cooling.
We will tell you early and stop, rather than progressing a deal that fails at shipping. That discipline is why allocation stays reachable for the buyers who can clear.
Working through this on a real requirement?
Twenty minutes with the desk, no pitch and no quote at the end of it. Tell us roughly what you need and we will come back within one business day.
