Siam AI deploys world-class AI infrastructure powered by DDN to accelerate Thailand’s digital future
Siam AI is Thailand’s first and only NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP), founded with a bold mission: to propel the nation into a new era of digital transformation. By building world-class, sovereign AI infrastructure locally, Siam AI enables Thai researchers, students, healthcare providers, and businesses to harness the power of AI. With an eye on healthcare, smart cities, and large language model (LLM) development, Siam AI is laying the foundation for Thailand’s AI future—with DDN at the core of its infrastructure.
Challenges
- Building Sovereign AI Infrastructure from Scratch – Siam AI needed to build Thailand’s first NVIDIA-certified AI cloud infrastructure—one that aligned with global standards while remaining sovereign and accessible to local institutions.
- Supporting Complex and Demanding AI Workloads – To meet the demands of training large-scale models, running advanced healthcare applications, and supporting national AI initiatives, Siam AI required ultra-high performance and efficient data management.
- Accelerating Time to Deployment and Performance Optimization – With high stakes and national-level ambitions, Siam AI needed to deploy and scale their infrastructure rapidly—while ensuring peak GPU utilization and reliability from day one.
Solution
Deployed First 1,000-GPU Cluster Using DDN’s Intelligent Data Platform
Siam AI fully adopted DDN’s AI-optimized data infrastructure to manage performance-intensive AI workloads.
Future-Ready Architecture with H200 and Liquid Cooling
Siam AI is already planning next-gen deployments including H200 GPUs and liquid-cooled Blackwell architecture – all integrated with DDN for maximum scalability and efficiency.
Optimized Data Management for Complex AI and ML Workloads
DDN’s platform maximized read/write performance, GPU optimization, and checkpointing – crucial for LLMs, genome sequencing, and smart city AI initiatives.
