On December 22, Permianchain, a subsidiary of UAE investment firm Hodler Investments, reached a cooperation with Vertical Data to provide modular and portable data center solutions using its GPU-as-a-service technology. The GPU as a service or "boxed solution" can achieve faster, safer, and more efficient AI-driven computing. A statement said that the solution will be provided in the UAE and the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The goal is to bring high-performance, low-latency AI processing closer to where critical data is generated, reducing latency and enhancing real-time decision-making capabilities.
