UAE telecom operator du, a subsidiary of Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC), has introduced GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) to provide high-performance compute resources for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning workloads.
The new offering is aimed at enterprises, startups, and developers looking to scale AI solutions without large upfront hardware investments.
The service gives businesses on-demand access to NVIDIA GPUs through a subscription-based model. This flexible setup enables AI model training, inferencing, and large-scale data processing, all hosted within du’s Tier III data centres.
With enterprise-grade service level agreements (SLAs), secure infrastructure, and low-latency performance, du ensures that users have the reliability and speed needed for intensive AI tasks.
Supporting UAE’s AI Vision
This launch supports the UAE’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031, which aims to drive AI integration across key sectors. du’s GPUaaS enables organisations in finance, healthcare, energy, education, and smart cities to streamline their AI development, reduce operational costs, and enhance scalability.
The offering is also expected to benefit research institutions and early-stage startups, giving them access to advanced compute power previously limited by cost and infrastructure barriers.
By offering GPU resources as a cloud-based service, du helps lower the entry barrier for innovation and experimentation in AI.
With this move, du strengthens its role in the country’s broader digital transformation agenda, positioning itself as a key technology enabler in the region’s growing AI ecosystem.
