OneAsia and OBON Collaborate to Build Thailand’s First 4K Supercomputing Clusters<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Through this project, OBON will deploy multiple 4K<\/span> supercomputing clusters at OneAsia’s state-of-the-art data centre, BKK1, in northern Bangkok<\/span>. The clusters utilize a sophisticated NVIDIA 3-layer NCP architecture to deliver throughputs of 16,000 petaFLOPS (PF) computing power at FP8, enabling advanced GenAI training and other AI solutions for government entities and enterprises across diverse industry verticals, including healthcare and education. This initiative will pave the way for the development of AI use cases and the widespread adoption of AI applications throughout Thailand<\/span>.<\/p>\n

"We have ambitious expansion plans, seeking exponential growth in the coming years. With an estimated project investment of over USD$300 million<\/span> in OneAsia, we are delighted to work with them to pioneer our AI domain knowledge and drive AI initiatives in Thailand<\/span>," says Mr. Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, CEO of OBON, "OneAsia’s expertise in AI supercomputing deployment and domain knowledge in building and operating and their consistent innovation to develop future AI infrastructures make them the ideal partner."<\/p>\n

Mr. Charles Lee<\/span>, founder and CEO of OneAsia, also expresses his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "We are glad and honoured to contribute to Thailand’s<\/span> first 4K<\/span> supercomputing clusters by building the necessary AI and computing infrastructure. Our goal is to accelerate AI innovation while fostering the growth of the AI ecosystem in Thailand<\/span>." He emphasized OneAsia’s commitment to leveraging their end-to-end digital infrastructure deployment experience from Hong Kong<\/span>, providing additional competitive advantages:<\/p>\n
