Keppel, Dell partner to build AI platforms, data centres in Asia

The facilities will feature green technologies and renewable energy solutions.

Keppel Ltd.’s Connectivity division has signed a strategic framework agreement with Dell Technologies to jointly develop advanced AI platforms and efficient data centres across Asia.

The partnership combines Keppel’s expertise in energy, sustainability, and connectivity infrastructure with Dell’s technology, enterprise reach, and advanced infrastructure. Together, they aim to meet growing demand for secure, reliable, and energy-efficient data centres.

Keppel will invest in AI platforms for sectors including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, retail, and telecommunications.

The facilities will feature Keppel’s green technologies and renewable energy solutions.

AsiaPac Technology (AsiaPac), Keppel’s ICT, Cloud, and enterprise solutions provider, will participate in the collaboration, initially focusing on high-growth markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

AsiaPac will provide cloud integration, infrastructure management, enterprise solutions, and digital transformation consulting to support the initiative.

Keppel and Dell have a long-standing relationship through AsiaPac, which includes resale of Dell infrastructure, professional services delivery, and AI application support for enterprise customers in Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

The latest agreement builds on Keppel’s ongoing partnerships with other global technology leaders, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), to develop data centres, subsea cables, and renewable energy solutions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
