Singtel is launching a Nvidia-powered cloud-based solution in the third quarter, offering enterprises access to accelerated computing power in Singapore and the broader Southeast Asia region.

The Singapore telecommunications company will offer access to graphics processing units on demand, to be deployed through Nvidia H100 GPU-powered clusters operating in existing data centers in Singapore, it said Tuesday.

"We are seeing keen interest from the private and public sectors which are raring to deploy AI at scale quickly and cost-effectively," said Bill Chang, chief executive of Singtel's Digital InfraCo unit and Nxera data-center business.

Singtel said it then aims to expand its GPU-as-a-service offering to three new AI data centers in Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.
