The initiative addresses the growing need for modernized digital infrastructure amid rapid technological advancements and increasing environmental considerations. With AI requiring vast data processing, local storage under Thai jurisdiction ensures data security and regulatory compliance. “AIS has taken another significant step in advancing the country’s digital infrastructure, in parallel with human capital development, to support the growth of Thailand’s digital economy,” said Mr. Phupa Akavipat, Chief Enterprise Business Officer at AIS. “We firmly believe that Thailand must have its own AI capabilities to ensure long-term technological sovereignty and resilience.”
AIS Cloud offers tailored services, including contracts in the Thai language, billing in Thai Baht to avoid currency fluctuations, and local support from Thai professionals. The platform supports large-scale workloads with auto-scaling capabilities and adheres to stringent security standards, regularly updating features to meet emerging technological demands. It provides comprehensive support for AI, Machine Learning, and Big Data applications, fostering innovation across sectors.
Additionally, AIS launched AIS NaaS (Network as a Service), enabling enterprises to independently manage network configurations through a self-service portal. This solution supports flexible domestic and international network expansions, integrating seamlessly with AIS Cloud via fiber optic and 5G connectivity, backed by 24/7 expert support. “This framework certifies cloud providers based on criteria ranging from fundamental service capabilities to environmental responsibility through Green Technology,” said Dr. Passakon Prathombutr, Senior Executive Vice President at the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (depa). AIS Business earned the dSURE 3-Star Cloud certification, the first in Thailand, recognizing its commitment to data sovereignty and secure local storage without cross-border transfers.
These efforts align with Thailand’s goal to strengthen its digital economy through localized, high-standard digital services. By collaborating with global technology leaders like Oracle, AIS ensures robust infrastructure that supports both technological advancement and environmental sustainability, positioning Thailand as a resilient player in the global digital landscape.
