ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, a data centre colocation service provider headquartered in Singapore, has announced that it is now an NVIDIA colocation partner. Two of its data centre facilities in Southeast Asia (SEA) – STT Singapore 6 and STT Bangkok 1 – have achieved certification in the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center programme. These are the first facilities in STT GDC’s portfolio to achieve this certification.

The NVIDIA DGX platform is purpose-built for enterprise AI, powering AI workloads spanning analytics, training, and inference. It offers advanced compute density, performance and scale with a single, unified system that can power the complete enterprise AI lifecycle. The NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center certification enables STT GDC to offer its customers access to state-of-the-art data centre facilities to run their most important AI workloads.

STT GDC is among the first Singapore-headquartered companies to achieve this certification, recognising its continued focus on supporting the global growth ambitions of businesses as they transition from the digital era to the intelligent era. This is driven by accelerated computing, a key driver of AI innovation, and by STT GDC’s ability to support advanced AI capabilities and next-generation infrastructure, such as NVIDIA DGX GB200 systems. STT GDC’s AI-ready data centres are designed to accommodate the thermal demands of such cutting-edge technology, with support for both immersion cooling and direct-to-chip cooling technologies.

Daniel Pointon, Group Chief Technology Officer, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, comments, “The DGX-Ready Data Center certification helps ensure that our customers have access to the robust infrastructure and expertise required to deploy and scale high-performance AI workloads. Achieving this certification underscores our commitment to supporting the rapid growth of AI adoption across industries, helping our customers focus on innovation, accelerate their AI initiatives with confidence and achieve a quicker time-to-value for their AI investments.”

Tony Paikeday, Senior Director of AI systems at NVIDIA, adds, “As organisations embrace AI to enhance customer experiences and drive better business outcomes, robust environments that are optimised for AI infrastructure become critical. STT GDC’s achievement of the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center certification empowers enterprises in South East Asia to simplify their AI initiatives with optimised, high-performance infrastructure and facilities that enable the delivery of data-fuelled insights sooner.”

AI continues to transform industries globally, driving innovation in everything from predictive analytics to autonomous systems. Worldwide spending on AI is expected to more than double by 2028, reaching $632 billion. AI has the potential to fundamentally disrupt global markets by innovating new business models and offerings, and strategic investments in AI will be necessary to enable businesses to both unlock competitive advantage and maximise the full potential of AI.
