"G42" and"cisco" They expand their cooperation to develop an advanced artificial intelligence complex in the UAE
Abu Dhabi, October 28 / WAM / The G42 Group and Cisco, the global company specializing in the fields of networks and cybersecurity, announced the expansion of their cooperation to develop a secure infrastructure for artificial intelligence.
Cisco will supply, connect and secure an advanced artificial intelligence complex implemented by G42, using AMD’s advanced MI350X chipsets. G42 and Cisco will work in close coordination with the relevant US government agencies to obtain the necessary licenses and regulatory approvals to begin implementation, and it is expected that tangible progress will be made. In the coming months after completing the final procedures.
Cisco will also assume the role of an integrated technology provider within the G42 Regulated Technology Environment (RTE), a framework that is considered the gold standard in the fields of compliance and cybersecurity, and aims to ensure that advanced computing infrastructures operate according to the highest standards of protection, transparency, and governance, while preventing any unauthorized access, transfer, or use of systems. Advanced.
The cooperation is based on joint efforts within the framework of the “Artificial Intelligence Acceleration Partnership between the UAE and the United States,” which is a pivotal initiative aimed at enhancing bilateral technological goals between the two countries. Its most prominent projects include the “Emirates Stargate” artificial intelligence project being established in Abu Dhabi, and the Emirati-American Artificial Intelligence Complex with a capacity of up to 5 gigawatts.
Ping Xiao, CEO of the G42 Group, said that the cooperation constitutes a new stage in the process of establishing trust and consolidating technological integration between the UAE and the United States within the framework of the Artificial Intelligence Acceleration Partnership, explaining that the cooperation confirms the joint commitment to establishing an advanced, safe and sovereign infrastructure, compatible with governance frameworks, and contributing to accelerating the pace of global innovation according to the highest standards. Standards of transparency and responsibility.
For his part, Chuck Robbins, Chairman and CEO of Cisco, stressed their pivotal role in supporting the digital transformation process in the UAE, expressing their aspiration to continue working on building the foundations of a future driven by responsible and impactful innovation, as Cisco is proud to deepen its partnership with G42 by providing the next generation of innovation in the field of artificial intelligence in the country with the infrastructure Safe, reliable and high-performance infrastructure.
In turn, Dr. Lisa Su, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of AMD, pointed out the role of the company’s “AMD Instinct MI350X” accelerators in providing the performance, efficiency, and scalability necessary to enhance safe and independent innovation in the field of artificial intelligence, explaining that the cooperation emphasizes the pivotal role of joint technological initiatives, such as “Artificial Intelligence Acceleration Partnership between the United States and the UAE” in achieving national digital ambitions.
Cisco’s latest research on artificial intelligence readiness showed that 92% of organizations in the UAE plan to adopt artificial intelligence agents, and 41% of them expect these agents to work side by side with employees within one year. From this standpoint, the cooperation focuses on bridging this gap by providing a secure and scalable infrastructure that enables organizations to achieve sustainable growth in the intelligence environment. Artificially accelerated.
Cisco provides integrated solutions to build advanced data centers ready for artificial intelligence, combining advanced computing capabilities, networking, security, automation, and fiber optic technologies. The project will benefit from Cisco’s complete suite of data centers ready for artificial intelligence, which includes “Cisco UCS 885A” servers equipped with “AMD” modules. MI350X for data processing, Nexus 9K switches with data transfer speeds of up to 800 Gigabit for networks, and the VAST Data platform hosted on UCS servers. The package also includes advanced Firepower 4200 firewalls to enhance cybersecurity, and Nexus Dashboard tools. And “Intersight” for network automation and computing management. In addition, the project includes the latest fiber-optic technologies from Cisco to ensure the highest levels of performance and reliability, in addition to its advanced services in the areas of planning, design and implementation.
