Singtel and Nscale announce partnership to accelerate GPU capacity

 Singaporean telco Singtel has formed a strategic partnership with AI cloud provider Nscale to accelerate GPU capacity across Europe and Southeast Asia. This partnership dubbed GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS), will see Nscale receive access to Singtel’s Nvidia H100 GPU capacity in Southeast Asia through the telco’s orchestration platform, Paragon. 
 

In a statement, the two companies said the partnership will allow their customers to benefit from the “flexibility of a wider geographic footprint and robust infrastructure support,” and “drive greater utilization” of their respective GPU clusters.

“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,” said Bill Chang, CEO of Singtel’s Digital InfraCo and Nxera. “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.”

Josh Payne, Nscale founder and CEO, added: “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.”
