Singtel and GMI Cloud have formed a strategic collaboration to expand GPU capacity, combining their resources to democratize high-powered computing for enterprises. This partnership enhances Singtel's service reach and allows GMI Cloud to enter new markets, leveraging their integrated technologies to drive AI innovation globally.
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Singtel, Asia's leading communications technology group, and GMI Cloud, a pioneering AI-native GPU cloud platform based in the U.S., have announced a strategic collaboration. This partnership will expand GPU capacity by combining both companies' resources and infrastructure, democratizing the availability of high-powered computing for enterprises. Singtel's customers will gain access to GMI Cloud's GPUs for their workloads, particularly in regions where Singtel doesn't have a direct presence. In turn, this collaboration expands GMI Cloud's reach into previously untapped markets, benefiting both companies as they extend their global footprint.
GMI Cloud's cutting-edge GPU platform, known for its high-performance and cost-effective solutions, will integrate with Singtel's Paragon orchestration platform to leverage Singtel's NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU capacity in Singapore. Singtel plans to launch its GPU-as-a-Service later this year and is expanding its network of Nxera data centers across Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. These state-of-the-art facilities featuring advanced NVIDIA GPUs are designed to manage the most demanding AI workloads efficiently and sustainably.[BLaM1]
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." [BLaM2]
Alex Yeh, CEO of GMI Cloud, commented, "Our collaboration with Singtel marks a significant milestone in democratizing AI infrastructure across globally. GMI Cloud's expertise in providing scalable, telecom-optimized 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.
The collaboration underscores Singtel's strategy of partnering with leading U.S.-based infrastructure providers and aligns with GMI Cloud's broader goal of expanding global access to high-performance AI infrastructure.
