Abu Dhabi’s Aleria Expands Global Sovereign AI Footprint
Abu Dhabi-based Aleria is set to significantly scale its sovereign AI infrastructure through a strategic partnership with Nvidia and DDN. The expansion includes the deployment of up to 16,000 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra AI chips in the United States, alongside the introduction of 28 racks of the cutting-edge DGX Vera Rubin systems in the UAE. By leveraging Nvidia’s advanced compute power and DDN’s high-performance storage solutions, Aleria aims to provide secure, production-ready AI factories that allow national governments and critical industries to manage their sensitive data independently.
According to Aleria CEO Eric Leandri, this move is not merely a proposal but a continuation of an already operational framework that currently supports government, healthcare, energy, and financial sectors. By providing a pre-integrated platform that handles everything from data management to video AI, Aleria simplifies the adoption of artificial intelligence for organizations that lack internal machine learning teams. This latest phase of growth underscores the company’s commitment to offering sovereign AI capabilities that ensure data residency and regulatory compliance, while bringing some of the world’s most advanced computing hardware to both the UAE and the US markets.
