AI Servers Manufactured in the UAE, Built for the Middle East | Kerno at GITEX 2025
10 October 2025
Dubai, UAE, October 10, 2025 - At GITEX GLOBAL, Kerno — the region’s first full-cycle server and data storage manufacturer — will unveil its latest high-performance AI servers and universal server systems.
Kerno will also showcase its state-of-the-art server manufacturing equipment. The Surface Mount Technology (SMT) machinery will operate at the booth in real time, demonstrating the high-precision process of manufacturing printed circuit boards (PCBs).
The UAE-based manufacturer is building its production line in Dubai, where every server and storage system will be designed, manufactured, assembled, and tested under one roof. From concept to delivery, the local technology vendor maintains full control over every stage of the process — leveraging its local IP rights, robust global supply chain, and essential technology components stored at Kerno’s local warehouse. The manufacturer’s engineering team adheres to stringent quality, security, and efficiency standards.
For local businesses, organizations, and government agencies, this means record-fast delivery times, enhanced In-Country Value (ICV) creation, maximum data security, greater technological sovereignty, and minimized risk of disruptions to mission-critical operations.
Kerno’s manufacturing facility, capable of producing up to 60,000 solutions annually, will open in January 2026. Built to ISO Class 7 cleanroom standards and equipped with fully automated assembly and inspection lines, the factory will help establish the UAE as a regional hub for manufacturing world-class technology solutions.
Servers to explore at Kerno’s Booth H3-A15:
- OKAM Universal Servers – versatile enterprise platforms for virtualization, analytics, and high-capacity data storage.
- UQLEAD AI Servers – flagship GPU systems featuring scalable PCIe GPUs and high-performance interconnected SXM GPUs for training and inference of large AI models.
Kerno’s technology solutions are certified for leading operating systems and hypervisors, ensuring seamless integration with VMware, Red Hat, and other secure enterprise technology platforms. Whether for government entities, telecom providers, or AI startups, Kerno offers a local alternative that meets global standards while enabling minimal lead times, support from the executive team, and dedicated local customer service.
“Our mission is to manufacture our technology solutions here in the UAE so that regional businesses can build their digital infrastructure and AI platforms faster — without compromising on quality or digital sovereignty,” said Chris Caswell, CEO.

OKAM references a famous poet, Omar Khayyam, who was also one of the greatest mathematicians of the Arab world. The name also alludes to William of Occam, a British philosopher, creator of the “Occam’s Razor” principle — “What can be done with less should not be done with more.”
UQLEAD is rooted in the history of both Arab and European mathematics, and echoes the name OF Euclid, the ancient Greek mathematician who worked in Egypt. At the same time, it references one of his followers — the Arab mathematician al-Uqlidisi, who was the first to introduce decimal fractions into mathematics.
