The problem
A Chinese AI company decides to put inference capacity in Singapore. CMI sells them a 100G cross-border circuit and 30 cabinets in a Singapore data centre. Then what?
Someone has to rack the GPU servers, stand up the InfiniBand fabric, get BGP peering going with the customer’s ISP transit, work through the data centre’s compliance and security approvals, design the liquid-cooling loop for the GPU racks, book the smart-hand visits, set up change management, and run the 24×7 NOC.
That work has to be done by people who live in the same time zone as the datacenter. That’s the work TWO TWO does — as the regional project integration + operations partner to CMI, China Telecom, China Unicom, Singtel and NTT.
Our capability stack
Datacenter selection & onboarding
We have working relationships and live customer engagements in:
- Equinix Singapore — SG1, SG3, SG5
- Global Switch Singapore — Tai Seng campus
- SingTel DC — multiple locations
- ST Telemedia (STT) — Singapore, Malaysia
- Digital Realty — Singapore
- CMI Singapore DC — for Chinese-outbound workloads needing low-latency to mainland
- NTT Global Data Centers — pan-Asia footprint
For each location we know the rack power densities supported, the preferred network providers, the compliance / security onboarding process, and the on-site smart-hand vendors.
Rack deployment, power & cooling
Rack design, PDU selection, A+B feed power planning, liquid- or air- cooling specification, structured cabling (separated optical and copper), labeling per the carrier’s standard, and as-built documentation that the carrier can forward to their own customer.
For GPU clusters we work at densities up to 50 kW+ per rack with liquid cooling. For traditional compute and storage we run at standard 6–10 kW racks.
GPU compute center deployment
B300 / H100 / H200 server procurement and rack-and-stack. InfiniBand fabric design (NDR / HDR), GPU Direct RDMA tuning, NCCL throughput validation. Air-gap network design for AI training clusters where compliance requires it.
B300 compute is also available for lease directly under TWO TWO PTE LTD — the contract, the invoice and the compute delivery all sit with our Singapore-incorporated entity. This is the piece of Singapore’s AI-compute and export-control requirements that a local counterparty has to carry; overseas distributors cannot. This path is open to customers who clear compliance review.
Network commissioning
BGP multi-ASN peering, cross-border circuit termination, MPLS handoff to carrier backhaul, SD-WAN for branch interconnect, CDN onramp setup (Cloudflare / Akamai / Aliyun CDN International).
Carrier-grade NOC operations
24×7 monitoring covering network, server health, environmental (power, temperature, humidity), storage, and customer workload. Runbooks for ~80 standard incident categories. Change management to ITIL spec with peer-review approval and blast-radius scoping. Monthly SLA reports delivered in the format the carrier expects (uptime, MTTR, change throughput, capacity headroom).
The carrier relationships we operate within
CMI (China Mobile International)
Singapore-mainland cross-border circuits, Singapore datacenter capacity, regional MPLS backbone. Our most active partner for Chinese-outbound workloads.
CT Global (China Telecom International)
Cross-border bandwidth, IDC resources in SG / HK / mainland, dedicated international lines.
CUniq (China Unicom International)
Cross-border network capacity, datacenter facilities, IPLC services.
Singtel
Local IDC, international submarine bandwidth, regional MPLS.
NTT Global Data Centers
Premium Asia-Pacific IDC footprint and backbone.
Typical project scenarios
A · AI compute center for a Chinese-outbound AI company
1,000-card GPU cluster (B300 or H100) deployed in Singapore datacenter with InfiniBand fabric, 100G cross-border circuit back to mainland HQ for training-data pipeline, 24×7 NOC operations. Timeline: 14 weeks from contract to first training job.
B · Carrier SEA POP build-out
Helping a major Chinese carrier stand up new points of presence in Malaysia and Indonesia. Equipment procurement, on-site installation, NOC integration to the carrier’s existing OSS, regulatory approval support.
C · Multinational DR datacenter
Multi-DC active-active for a regulated multinational, cross-border data replication with PDPA / MAS compliance, regulatory approval coordination across SG / MY / ID jurisdictions.
Project timeline by size
- Small (under 30 cabinets) — 8 to 12 weeks
- Medium (30 to 100 cabinets + GPU cluster) — 12 to 20 weeks
- Large (multi-DC + carrier-grade network) — 20 weeks or more, milestone-staged
