DNVN - On June 24, GreenNode (AI Cloud business unit of VNG), NVIDIA's preferred cloud service partner (NCP) officially opened a large-scale AI data processing center in Bangkok, Thailand, aiming to become a pioneer AI Cloud service provider in the region.
This is one of the first large-scale AI Cloud infrastructures in Southeast Asia, self-operated by the GreenNode team based on a commitment to stable operational capacity - Operational Excellence.
Mr. Dennis Ang, Senior Business Director of NVIDIA Asia, Australia and New Zealand, emphasized that to be able to catch the current wave of GenAI, companies need two factors: the first is AI data center and the second is AI factory.

According to GreenNode, the company aims to provide high-end infrastructure and comprehensive AI solutions to customers, deploying a dedicated 20MW AI infrastructure, equipped with a new generation InfiniBand network infrastructure with bandwidth between GreenNode servers up to 3.2Tbps and a large-scale storage platform.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Lionel Yeo - CEO of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres Southeast Asia said: “In the next 4 years, investment in AI will increase significantly, of which about 30% will come from Asia. This region is becoming very vibrant and therefore, the cooperation between the parties like today becomes even more meaningful. Congratulations to VNG GreenNode for successfully commercializing AI Cloud after only 6 months. I believe that in the coming time, we will together contribute to making Asia soon lead the world's technology wave."
Specifically, GreenNode will provide a product portfolio consisting of three main groups: direct GPU servers (Bare Metal GPU) with thousands of H100 Tensore Core GPUs; services supporting features of NVIDIA's ML Platform and AI factory.
