AMD AND RACKSPACE TECHNOLOGY AGREE TO PHASED DEPLOYMENT OF 30 MW OF AMD AI COMPUTE
AMD, and Rackspace Technology, a global enterprise AI infrastructure and solutions provider, have announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the phased deployment of an initial 30 MW footprint dedicated to AMD-based compute deployments across Rackspace ' s global data centres, beginning in late 2026 through 2028. The agreement operationalises the MoU announced May 7, 2026 and establishes AMD as a strategic technology partner at the silicon layer of Rackspace ' s governed AI stack.
At full deployment, 30 MW of dedicated AMD compute across Rackspace ' s footprint will represent meaningful capacity to serve regulated enterprise workloads, including healthcare providers who have expressed early interest in accelerated compute for clinical AI and inference at scale. This collaboration incorporates both AMD Instinct GPUs( including MI355X, MI350P and future successor solutions) and AMD EPYC CPUs inside an integrated Enterprise AI Cloud architecture, enabling Rackspace to route each workload to the right compute with full accountability for performance and outcomes end to end.
“ Enterprises in regulated industries need AI infrastructure that is governed from the ground up, with one operator accountable
for business outcomes, not a collection of vendors each owning a piece," said Gajen Kandiah, CEO, Rackspace Technology. " This collaboration combines the right compute with the right operating model and delivers something the market hasn ' t offered before: a governed AI stack with one accountable partner from silicon to outcomes."
Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, has announced a framework agreement alongside Edge- Serve, a Dubai-headquartered developer of hyperscaleready data centre campuses, Integrated Roots Company( IRCL), a Saudi-based construction and industrial contractor, and the Saudi Electricity Project Development Company( PDC), a subsidiary of Saudi Energy, the Kingdom’ s primary electricity provider. The parties intend to collaborate on the development and deployment of converged physical infrastructure across the GCC( Gulf Cooperation Council) region, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
The project brings together critical digital infrastructure, construction, energy and large-scale development to meet the accelerating demand for AI-ready and cloud-scale infrastructure.
The agreement builds on an existing collaboration between Vertiv and Edge-Serve, developed over the past year and expanding into a broader multi-party, multimarket programme. The collaboration was intended to help accelerate digital infrastructure growth across high-growth regions, strengthen the GCC’ s role as a global digital hub and establish a scalable platform to support rising demand for next-generation digital infrastructure.
Vertiv brings its broad power and thermal portfolio, controls expertise, services, global manufacturing capability and deep experience with converged physical infrastructure systems. These capabilities are designed to help simplify deployment, reduce on-site complexity and support consistent performance in high-density computing environments. As demand for AI-driven infrastructure accelerates beyond the capacity of traditional delivery models, the collaboration brings together additional capabilities, while supporting deployment confidence and lifecycle performance.
Edge-Serve brings expertise as a data centre developer, taking sites from early-stage validation through to power-enabled, construction-ready hyperscale campuses, while IRCL provides construction delivery capabilities as the primary contractor, supporting consistent execution across the markets served.
