A small surprise and mindblow to most people’s basic level of business sense as local telco brand Maxis announced their venture into offering virtual GPUs for rent starting today.
Utilizing cloud technology to segregate GPU computing power on the logical layer, these brand-new clusters will be powered by NVIDIA H100 GPUs which are currently the hottest industrial-class GPUs right now and one can skip the investment overhead and gain access to its power with ease.
The “Team Green x Team Green” partnership will allow Malaysian businesses to jumpstart various advanced AI training and inferencing workloads while having the benefits of on-demand scalability and flexibility that can directly help on other business decisions such as directing more focus on core operations.
Maxis also projects the acceleration of local industries covering manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics just to name a few, via the power of gen-AI, LLMs, and other cutting-edge technologies, powered by the fixed connection within premises or 5G mobile connections running through one’s smartphone.
The announcement came after Singapore-based Singtel and global mobile alliance Bridge Alliance revealed their strategic partnership to bring Singtel’s GPUaaS offerings to enterprises across the region as Maxis has picked said solution from Singtel to complement existing cloud and connectivity solutions to meet customers’ organizational needs.
Maxis’s CEO Mr. Goh Seow Eng also shared his thoughts and opinions about the corp’s entrance to the GPUaas business:
“We are proud to be the first telco in Malaysia to offer GPUaaS, enabling on-demand high-performance computing and data processing. Businesses can scale their resources as needed for complex workloads like AI, machine learning, 3D modeling, and large-scale analytics. As Malaysia’s leading integrated telco, we remain committed to making it easier for customers to harness the best in connectivity and digital solutions, allowing them to focus on business growth.”
