The strategic Collaboration between Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel) and GMI Cloud, an artificial intelligence (AI) native GPU cloud platform based in the United States, aims to increase GPU capacity by combining the GPU resources and infrastructure of both businesses, thereby democratizing the availability of powerful computing for businesses.
Singtel stated in a statement that this partnership allows both firms’ clients to access GPUs for their workloads over a greater footprint and expands their reach into previously unexplored regions.
With the goal of giving customers more regional freedom and reliable infrastructure support wherever they need it, Singtel has partnered with GPU cloud platforms Vultr in the US and Nscale in Europe. This collaboration comes after those two partnerships.
