Singtel and GMI Cloud have announced a strategic partnership to enhance GPU capacity by integrating their respective GPU resources and infrastructure. This collaboration aims to democratise access to high-powered computing for businesses, extending both companies’ reach into previously untapped markets and allowing their customers broader access to GPUs for various workloads.
GMI Cloud’s advanced GPU platform, renowned for its high-performance and cost-effective solutions, will be incorporated into Singtel’s Paragon orchestration platform, enabling the utilisation of Singtel’s NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU capacity in Singapore.
Singtel is set to launch its GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) offering later this year and is expanding its Nxera data centre network across Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. These cutting-edge facilities, equipped with advanced NVIDIA GPUs, are designed to handle the most demanding AI workloads efficiently and sustainably.
Bill Chang, CEO of Singtel’s Digital InfraCo and Nxera, said: “We’ve been developing next-generation digital infrastructure and partnerships to support the growing demand for scalable, efficient and cost-effective solutions across industries for compute-intensive workloads. Collaborating with GMI Cloud expands capacity and availability zones in Asia Pacific, complementing our own GPUaaS points of presence. This will give enterprises the flexibility and scalability they need as they harness supercomputing power to accelerate innovation.”
Alex Yeh, CEO of GMI Cloud, added: “Our collaboration with Singtel marks a significant milestone in democratising AI infrastructure across Asia Pacific. GMI Cloud’s expertise in providing scalable, telecom-optimised GPU solutions complements Singtel’s robust network perfectly. Our flexible deployment models and experience with high-volume, low-latency workloads position us uniquely to support the telecommunications industry’s AI initiatives. Together, we’re creating an ecosystem that will accelerate AI adoption, enabling telecom providers and enterprises to enhance their services and drive innovation in the region.
This collaboration follows Singtel’s recent partnerships with GPU Cloud platforms Vultr in the US and Nscale in Europe, which provide customers with increased geographic flexibility and strong infrastructure support wherever required. Singtel also recently announced a strategic alliance with Bridge Alliance, a leading mobile consortium of 35 member operators worldwide, to extend its GPUaaS offerings to enterprises across Southeast Asia.
