Singapore – Singtel, a telecommunications firm, has announced that it has recently partnered with AI cloud platform Nscale, bringing together solutions that address the increasing global demand from enterprises for generative AI, high-performance computing, and data-intensive workloads.
In this collaboration, the telco will leverage Nscale’s AMD and NVIDIA GPU capacity in Europe for its customer workloads across key markets in the region.
This strategic move ensures the telco to provide high-volume demands and maintain service excellence, particularly when additional capacity is needed.
The alliance further enables Nscale to utilise Singtel’s NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU capacity in the Southeast Asian market for their customers’ workloads through an integration with the telco’s Paragon, a patented orchestration platform.
Meanwhile, with the expansion of the telco’s regional data centre arm, Nxera, across the region, its sustainable AI-ready data centres will offer the required capacity to support the large-scale deployment of Nscale’s GPU resources.
This collaboration will expand their GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) offerings on a global scale, ensuring customers benefit from an extended geographic presence and robust infrastructure. This initiative will also promote greater utilisation of their GPU clusters.
Bill Chang, chief executive officer at Singtel’s Digital InfraCo and Nxera, said, “As we continue to augment our GPUaaS offerings, we are forging a series of strategic partnerships to grow our ecosystem and broaden our service availability for our customers. Our partnership with Nscale will allow our customers to tap into their high-performance GPU resources on demand, unlocking new possibilities for innovation and efficiency.”
“Our commitment to delivering cost-effective solutions, backed by our state-of-the-art data centres, ensures businesses can access high-performance GPU resources quickly and seamlessly,” he further explained.
Josh Payne, founder and chief executive officer at Nscale, also remarked, “Nscale is the vertically integrated GPU cloud building the global infrastructure backbone for generative AI. Our sustainable AI-ready data centre, together with our GW pipeline of data centre capacity, uniquely positions us to deliver sustainable AI infrastructure at any scale for customers worldwide.”
Payne also noted, “Through this strategic partnership, Nscale will provide Singtel customers with unmatched access to sustainable, high-performance, and cost-effective AI compute to accelerate enterprise generative AI in the region and beyond.”
