Singtel and Nscale have announced a strategic partnership that will unlock both companies' GPU capacity across Europe and Southeast Asia to meet the growing global demand from enterprises for generative AI, high-performance computing, and data-intensive workloads.
The collaboration will enable Singtel to utilise Nscale's AMD and Nvidia GPU capacity in Europe, while Nscale will access Singtel's Nvidia H100 Tensor Core GPUs in Southeast Asia. This capability ensures that Singtel can meet high-volume requirements on demand and maintain service excellence, especially when additional capacity is needed. In return, Nscale will benefit from Singtel's advanced GPU infrastructure through an integration with Singtel's Paragon orchestration platform.
"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. 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,” said Nscale in a statement.
The partnership also supports the expansion of Singtel's GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS), with new sustainable, AI-ready data centres set to launch in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia by mid-2025.
