- •Collaboration with Vertiv explores 800V HVDC architectures to support power-intensive NVIDIA Rubin platforms
Bridge Data Centres (BDC) has announced a strategic investment of three to five billion Singapore dollars to solidify Singapore's status as the primary AI and cloud hub for the Asia-Pacific region. As AI workloads accelerate, the demand for hyperscale facilities—large-scale data centers capable of massive data processing—is shifting toward high-density environments. BDC aims to deliver over 2GW of AI-ready capacity globally, focusing on infrastructure designed to handle the extreme power and cooling requirements of modern machine learning clusters.
The investment emphasizes pioneering sustainable "green" digital infrastructure. BDC is implementing advanced technologies like cold plate liquid cooling and Singapore’s first floating hydrogen power generation solution. By collaborating with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the firm is researching low-carbon pathways to ensure that the energy consumption of AI training remains efficient. Their MY06 campus has already achieved a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of below 1.2, a significant benchmark for energy efficiency in tropical climates.
To support next-generation hardware like the NVIDIA Rubin platform, BDC is developing 800V High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) architectures. This specialized power delivery system is designed for ultra-high-density computing where traditional electrical setups often reach their limits. Furthermore, the initiative seeks to bolster the local talent ecosystem, creating opportunities for 3,000 students and professionals through research and internship programs, bridging the gap between physical infrastructure development and workforce readiness.
