Dubai, United Arab Emirates, March, 2026—Submer, the market-leading end-to-end AI infrastructure company, today announced a strategic partnership with ZEDEDA, the leader in edge intelligence, to deliver rapid manufacturable modular, liquid-cooled edge AI infrastructure for high-density GPU inference in locations where traditional data centers are unavailable or impractical.
The joint solution combines Submer’s full-stack AI infrastructure platform － spanning design, liquid-cooled compute infrastructure, and deployment that supports ultra-high-density racks exceeding 100kW — with ZEDEDA’s edge intelligence software platform, enabling customers to create, secure and operate edge AI anywhere in the world, and at any scale.
“AI is rapidly moving from centralized cloud environments into real-world operations, from industrial sites to telecom networks and remote energy infrastructure,” said Patrick Smets, CEO of Submer. “Delivering that intelligence requires purpose-built AI infrastructure that operates efficiently in environments where traditional data centers simply cannot exist. By combining Submer’s liquid-cooled high-density AI infrastructure with ZEDEDA’s edge intelligence platform, we’re enabling organizations to deploy scalable, resilient AI infrastructure anywhere it is needed.”
Submer will provide modular containerized infrastructure with immersion and direct-to-chip cooling designed for high-density GPU deployments. ZEDEDA’s Edge Intelligence Platform will provide complete edge AI lifecycle orchestration, to enable creating, securing, and operating edge AI at scale. The solutions will offer a selection of pre-selected validated hardware and GPU partners, along with the option for customers to bring their own hardware systems.
“As intelligence moves from the cloud into the physical world, the ability to run AI anywhere – in a remote factory, an offshore platform, or telecommunications networks – is a fundamental requirement. The world’s most critical operations generate enormous volumes of data far from any data center, and until now, the infrastructure to act on that data intelligently simply couldn’t follow. Our collaboration with Submer makes that possible now.” said Said Ouissal, CEO and founder of ZEDEDA. “ZEDEDA’s Edge Intelligence Platform ensures high-performance AI workloads at the edge are managed, secure, and scalable, and Submer’s liquid cooling technology enables the high-density compute those workloads demand, even in the harshest global environments. Together, we are unlocking AI for the industries that need it most.”
A core architectural principle of the joint solution is software-defined resilience. Instead of relying solely on hardware redundancy, ZEDEDA’s infrastructure orchestration layer detects node failures and redistributes workloads at the cluster level to maintain service targets. This approach simplifies the system architecture, improves GPU utilization and lowers the total cost of ownership. Submer’s liquid cooling technology significantly reduces cooling energy requirements compared to traditional air-cooled infrastructure while also eliminating water consumption and supporting more sustainable AI infrastructure deployments. This allows for deployment anywhere in the world, regardless of the environment.
The companies are engaging initial industrial and telecommunications customers and expect pilot deployments later this year.
