Cisco and G42 announced a major expansion of their collaboration to advance secure AI infrastructure. This initiative is further evidence of Cisco’s long-term commitment to driving digital advances across the region, building secure, trusted and high-performance infrastructure for the AI era.
Cisco will power, connect, and secure a large-scale AI cluster deployed by G42, featuring AMD’s advanced MI350X GPUs. This deployment integrates Cisco’s full-stack, secure AI infrastructure, including compute, networking, security, storage, optics, as well as observability and analytics tools, delivering scalable performance and unified management for the region’s most advanced AI workloads.
Cisco will also act as the technology integrator within G42’s Regulated Technology Environment (RTE), a gold-standard compliance and security framework designed to ensure that advanced compute infrastructure operates with the highest levels of protection, transparency, and governance, preventing unauthorized access, transfer, or misuse of advanced compute systems.
The collaboration builds on joint efforts under the broader US–UAE AI Acceleration Partnership, a key program advancing bilateral technology goals, whose flagship projects include the 1GW Stargate UAE cluster undergoing construction in Abu Dhabi and the 5GW UAE-US AI technology campus that was announced during President Trump’s state visit to the UAE in May 2025.
