Singtel and Hitachi, Ltd. have announced a Memorandum of Understanding to collaboratively develop advanced data centers and GPU Cloud solutions in Japan, with potential plans to expand throughout the Asia Pacific region.
This strategic partnership, led by Singtel's Digital InfraCo unit, will combine Singtel's extensive data center and connectivity expertise with Hitachi's broad capabilities in data center integration. Hitachi will bring its advanced solutions in green energy, cooling systems, storage infrastructure, and data management to the table.
The collaboration aims to sustainably enhance data center performance and capabilities, thereby boosting AI adoption and facilitating digital transformation for enterprises.
This agreement builds on a partnership initiated in June 2024, under which the companies began testing and integrating Singtel's Paragon—an all-encompassing orchestration platform for 5G, edge computing, and cloud services—with Hitachi's AI applications for its manufacturing operations and enterprise clients.
