Core42

Core42, part of G42, is the UAE’s sovereign cloud and AI-infrastructure provider, giving enterprises and governments compute for frontier AI workloads.

Overview

Core42 delivers cloud compute, AI platforms and applications built for sovereignty requirements — data residency, national security and compliance in the Gulf. It runs GPU-scale infrastructure for training and inference, offers model access including G42’s ecosystem (Falcon, Jais partnerships) and provides managed services for enterprises deploying AI. For organizations in the region that need hyperscale AI capability under local governance, Core42 is the anchor provider.

Getting Started

Enterprises engage Core42 for capacity planning and compliance scoping before workloads are migrated.

Results to Expect

Hyperscale-class AI compute under local governance, backed by G42’s ecosystem.

Implementation and Support

Engagements begin with compliance and capacity scoping, then workload migration onto Core42 infrastructure with managed services. Teams get cloud APIs and consoles as part of contracted services, plus support aligned to institutional requirements.

Limitations to Keep in Mind

It is enterprise and government procurement, not self-serve, and sovereignty requirements shape architecture decisions significantly.

What Users Say

CIOs value AI compute they can deploy under local governance without relying on foreign hyperscalers.

Who Gets the Most Value

Gulf institutions running sensitive AI workloads with data-residency obligations.

Final Thoughts

Sovereignty is a requirement, not a slogan, for Gulf institutions. Core42 provides hyperscale-class compute under local governance, backed by G42’s ecosystem. If data residency is non-negotiable, the shortlist is short.
