Aolani Collaborates With NVIDIA to Expand AI Factory Infrastructure Across Southeast Asia

Singapore-based AI Cloud provider Aolani has announced a strategic partnership with NVIDIA to bolster its AI factory infrastructure across Southeast Asia. This marks a significant milestone for the region's AI ecosystem and underscores the growing importance of Southeast Asia on the global AI stage.

By combining Aolani's capabilities with NVIDIA's cutting-edge technology, the collaboration will unlock financing to accelerate access to AI compute across Asia for global AI leaders, sovereigns, and local enterprises. This will expand Aolani's total AI factory capacity to over 100 megawatts, with 22,000 GPUs set to be deployed in Malaysia and the Philippines by early 2027, bringing Aolani's overall GPU deployment to over 48,000.

Since 2023, Aolani has been an NVIDIA Cloud Partner, and this new collaboration will see Aolani deploying NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs, a leading AI system designed for advanced workloads. The partnership will utilize a revenue-sharing and credit-support model to align infrastructure deployment with customer demand, providing a capital-efficient path for Aolani to scale its AI factories across the region.

Nicholas Chia, CEO of Aolani, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership, stating that it aligns with Aolani's mission to deliver world-class AI compute at the speed of AI development, while ensuring compliance, accountability, and trust. Southeast Asia is rapidly becoming a key global node for AI innovation, and Aolani is well-positioned to lead this charge by working with new partners and customers to build a robust Southeast Asian AI ecosystem.
