Taiwan Mobile is partnering with GMI Cloud, one of only seven NVIDIA Reference Platform Partners globally, to expand its reach in the international AI data center market. The collaboration, announced at COMPUTEX, focuses on building compliant and secure AI data center services for emerging markets across Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, the Americas, and Europe.
Taiwan Mobile possesses large-scale infrastructure and data center maintenance capabilities, while GMI Cloud has global compute dispatching advantages. Together, we will jointly deploy in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, the Americas, and Europe, creating international-class AIDC services that comply with local regulations and high security standards, seizing cross-border computing opportunities.
William Shen, GMI Cloud's Chief Operating Officer, highlighted the company's global compute dispatching advantages, while Taiwan Mobile's Chief Business Officer for Enterprise Services, Chu Hsiao-hsing, emphasized Taiwan Mobile's robust infrastructure and data center maintenance capabilities. Together, they aim to capture cross-border computing opportunities driven by the rapid growth of AI.
Chu noted that the increasing scale of AI computing has heightened corporate demand for high-performance computing power, data governance, and localized deployment. Taiwan Mobile has been actively developing large-scale AI data centers, with its TAIDC facility offering high-density power architecture, liquid cooling, and telecom-grade maintenance to support next-generation GPU computing. The company already assists financial and high-tech clients with AI model training and inference, providing secure GPU computing services through high-bandwidth network lines and telecom-grade security.
AI accelerated computing is rapidly expanding, and enterprises' demand for high-performance computing power, data governance, and localized deployment is increasing simultaneously.
Ye Wei-yen, CEO of GMI Cloud, stated that as a global NVIDIA Reference Platform cloud partner and a rapidly growing GPU cloud service provider in Asia, GMI Cloud can quickly deploy infrastructure to meet urgent market demands for GPU resources. The company plans to leverage its strengths in cross-border compute dispatching, software deployment, and international client development to address the exponential growth in computing demand in markets like the US, Japan, and Southeast Asia. This collaboration with Taiwan Mobile's top-tier data center operations aims to provide immediate and efficient AI inference capabilities to global enterprises.
GMI Cloud, as one of the world's seven NVIDIA Reference Platform cloud partners and Asia's fastest-growing GPU cloud service provider, has the ability to rapidly deploy infrastructure and effectively address the current urgent market demand for GPU resources.
Since their initial collaboration on AI Factory last year, Taiwan Mobile and GMI Cloud have established a 25MW TAIDC facility in Guishan, Taoyuan. This facility is nearly fully utilized, reflecting the escalating demand for AI infrastructure. The companies plan to continue expanding their overseas presence to compete in the global AI infrastructure market.
Facing markets like the US, Japan, and Southeast Asia, where computing demand is growing exponentially, GMI Cloud will fully leverage its flexible advantages in cross-border compute dispatching, software layer deployment, and international client development, combined with Taiwan Mobile's top-tier data center operations, to inject the most immediate and efficient AI inference momentum into global enterprises.
