YTL AI CLOUD TO LEAD THE ADOPTION OF LATEST NVIDIA BLACKWELL ULTRA PLATFORM

KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 (Bernama) -- YTL Power International Bhd’s wholly owned subsidiary, YTL AI Cloud will be an early adopter of the latest NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra instances.

In a statement, it said the latest NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra platform will be deployed from the YTL Green Data Center Campus, a solar-powered 500-megawatt (MW) data centre facility in Johor.

"The YTL Green Data Centre Campus is also home to the first supercomputer in Malaysia to deploy the NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip on NVIDIA DGX Cloud.

"Currently under construction, YTL expects to launch their first NVIDIA GB200 NVL72-based instances early in the third quarter of the year, becoming one of the first cloud service providers to make the NVIDIA Blackwell platform available in Asia Pacific," it said.

NVIDIA has also announced the next evolution of the NVIDIA Blackwell AI factory platform, namely the NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra, which enables organisations to accelerate applications such as artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning, agentic AI and physical AI.

YTP Power managing director, Datuk Seri Yeoh Seok Hong said the group is poised to offer powerful AI cloud computing to the region when its first Blackwell clusters come onstream, scheduled for July this year.

"Our collaboration with NVIDIA enables us to bring the latest AI platforms and solutions to Asia, ensuring that the region continues to stay abreast of the latest technological developments as we continue to move into an increasingly AI-powered world,” he said.
