Today we are excited to announce a partnership with Oman Data Park (ODP), the premier IT Managed Services provider in the Sultanate of Oman. ECOBLOX and ODP will work closely together to advance data center infrastructure, acquire state-of-the-art AI/HPC hardware and software solutions, and participate in business development activities in Oman, throughout the Middle East and globally.

Today’s AI-led applications need data centers that can handle the high-volume processing of AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) workloads. Data center providers are rapidly shifting their infrastructure to GPU-based infrastructure. As the only at-scale NVIDA NPN Solutions Integration Provider (SIP)  in the MENA region, ECOBLOX is uniquely qualified to help design, procure, install, configure and support systems for ODP’s HPC/AI infrastructure expansion.

Using the respective strengths of ECOBLOX and ODP, the cooperation intends to attract strategic investments and partnerships to fuel modular data center projects that support AI/HPC as a service virtual solutions. The cooperation also involves working on various projects to build a local community of excellence on computing technologies including devoting resources for education and training.

An October 2024 Gartner report attributes an increase in demand for data center infrastructure as being led by increased spending on GenAI. Data center systems spending will grow by almost $50 billion in 2025.

Oman Data Park shares a similar vision as ECOBLOX – that data center resources can be decentralized and provided on-demand enabling companies or governments to focus on their core business. Additionally, with ECOBLOX’s ecosystem of industry partners, participating local or foreign businesses can be assured that data center infrastructure equipment pricing is highly competitive.

“Our focus on harnessing the power of AI algorithms, machine learning, and deep learning models is reshaping industries, enhancing decision-making processes, and creating new possibilities for businesses in Oman. With a steadfast commitment to excellence and a passion for pushing the boundaries of AI, we are paving the way for a smarter, more connected future where AI becomes the cornerstone of digital transformation in Oman,” said Dr. Haider Al-Lawati, Head of AI at Oman Data Park.

“Oman Data Park is committed to leveraging HPC infrastructure, driving innovation, accelerating research, and powering the digital transformation landscape in Oman and the region. Embracing the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Oman is not just a vision but a strategic imperative. At Oman Data Park, we are dedicated to spearheading this transformation and shaping a future where AI-driven solutions drive progress and prosperity for Oman and beyond,” said Maqbool Al-Wahaibi, CEO of Oman Data Park

“GenAI is putting pressure on energy demand and server workloads,” said Theo Valich, Founder & CEO, ECOBLOX. “A collaboration with ODP will showcase how our high performance designs such as our modular data centers are built to handle the unique needs of training AI data centers for intensive data processing and machine learning. Our unique designs are based on decades of experience and our optimization tools and expertise are perfect for AI demands of today and tomorrow.”

The ECOBLOX team is excited to team up with Oman Data Park on this new venture.
