Singapore – ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, a data centre provider, has recently announced that artificial intelligence clusters across its data centres in Southeast Asia are now operational. These active AI clusters will provide flexible and cost-effective access to hyperscale accelerated computing clusters using the latest graphics processing unit (GPU) technologies.
The said clusters are specifically tailored for enterprise, government, and cloud service providers, offering an ideal solution for quick deployment of AI model training and inference workloads across various industries.
With the company’s SEA data centres designed and equipped to accommodate the latest GPU chips, the said move will also lead to higher-density powered racks ranging from 10 to 150 KW per rack. Among the latest GPU chips utilised are NVIDIA’s Blackwell products, which have substantial thermal design power.
Moreover, these data centres are equipped with advanced cooling solutions that support both liquid immersion cooling and direct-to-chip cooling technologies. This advancement stems from the trials that started in 2022, which included chassis-level precision immersion, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, and actively collaborating with leading industry players on various cooling technologies.
STT GDC also supports GPU workloads through its customers, who are NVDIA Cloud Service Providers at its Thailand campus. The company is also in discussions with others regarding their AI requirements across the SEA data centre campuses.
Lionel Yeo, chief executive officer for Southeast Asia at ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, said, “STT GDC is at the forefront of supporting businesses’ journeys from the digital era to the intelligent era across SEA and globally, driven by accelerated computing as a key driver of AI innovation.”
“We are committed to meeting the needs of our customers where they are, and starting with SEA, we will continue to bring to bear our expertise in delivering the agile digital infrastructure needed to support accelerated computing workloads such as AI and beyond, while ensuring our data centres are built to meet the highest sustainability standards, aligning with STT GDC’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2030,” Lionel concluded.
At present, the company stands as the first international operator with a data centre presence across all six major economies within SEA, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. It also boasts more than 500 MW of data centre capacity, both operational and under construction.
