SNS Network Technology Berhad has launched a fully managed AI cloud infrastructure service in collaboration with NVIDIA. The AI Factory is powered by 64 NVIDIA Hopper GPUs across eight Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers and integrates NVIDIA’s Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking and the chipmaker’s AI Enterprise software.
SNS Network Unveils AI Factory For Malaysia
The AI Factory provides high-performance computing through GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) to support AI adoption among enterprises in Malaysia, while the initiative also focuses on industry growth and talent development through training programs and proof-of-concept (POC) activities. Located at Telekom Malaysia’s Klang Valley Data Center in Cyberjaya, the facility allocates 50% of its computing capacity for commercial workloads while reserving the remainder for AI development initiatives, including POCs, industry training, bootcamps, and hackathons.
To assist customers in AI adoption, SNS Network is introducing an AI Readiness Assessment and POC service for selected enterprises – organizations can evaluate their AI capabilities, identify suitable use cases, and conduct small-scale deployments before full-scale implementation. Currently, the company offers monthly or annual GPUaaS subscriptions, with reserved instance options for one to three years. Monthly pricing starts at RM35,000 per NVIDIA Hopper GPU, with a full Dell XE9680 server equipped with eight GPUs available for RM240,000 per month.
As AI is now becoming a matter of national security, SNS says the AI Factory features local hosting to ensure data sovereignty and compliance with Malaysia’s data privacy regulations. “Our first-mover advantage positions SNS Network well to capture growth opportunities along the AI data center value chain. With rising demand, we are committed to expanding our capabilities and driving AI adoption in Malaysia,” said Mr. Ko Yun Hung, Managing Director of SNS Network.
Pokdepinion: Never hurt to start early – this can be a long-term advantage for Malaysia as well.
