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.
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]
