Starview & CloudSigma Unite to Propel Sovereign Cloud Innovation in Singapore and Malaysia

Singapore – 10 April 2025 – Starview Technologies and CloudSigma today announced a groundbreaking partnership aimed at establishing a sovereign cloud infrastructure in Singapore and Malaysia. This collaboration will support governmental bodies and local enterprises on their AI transformation journey by offering highly secure, compliant, and flexible cloud solutions.

This partnership aims to advance sovereign cloud capabilities within Singapore and Malaysia. The collaboration will focus on delivering customizable infrastructure solutions meticulously designed to meet the stringent local regulatory requirements of both nations. These solutions will also ensure ultra-low latency, crucial for modern applications, and incorporate enterprise-grade cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data. This initiative directly responds to the increasing demand for sovereign cloud solutions in the Asia Pacific region, where organizations are expanding their hybrid cloud strategies with a greater emphasis on data localization and security.

Anthony Limby, COO of CloudSigma, stated: “Our partnership with Starview bridges the gap between innovation and compliance. By offering tailored cloud models—from private, hybrid to air-gap environments—we empower organizations to balance agility with sovereignty. This is critical for governments and enterprises navigating AI adoption while safeguarding sensitive data.”

Government agencies and enterprises across Singapore and Malaysia stand to gain significant benefits from the secure and flexible cloud models resulting from this partnership. These models are specifically designed to support their ambitious digital and AI-driven transformation agendas. The ability to access cloud infrastructure that aligns with local regulations and offers robust security is paramount for these sectors as they increasingly adopt cloud technologies to enhance their operations and service delivery.

Choo Yuh Joo, CEO of Starview Technologies, added: “Our collaboration with CloudSigma marks a significant milestone in realizing our vision for 1STACK as a seamless, end-to-end cloud solution—spanning private and public clouds. By establishing cloud locations in Singapore and Johor, Malaysia, we are committed to providing our customers with unparalleled flexibility, scalability, and cost-effective cloud services, empowering businesses with choices to thrive in an increasingly digital landscape.”

CloudSigma’s extensive global expertise in delivering tailored cloud services will be instrumental in this collaboration. Their experience encompasses a wide spectrum of cloud deployment models, ranging from private managed cloud and hybrid solutions to highly secure “air-gap” environments. This deep expertise perfectly complements Starview Technologies’ robust and extensive experience in cloud and infrastructure buildouts. The synergy created by combining CloudSigma’s global reach and diverse offerings with Starview’s strong local presence and infrastructure will provide a compelling value proposition for customers in Singapore and Malaysia.

The strategic importance and timely nature of this partnership are further underscored by a recent IDC report. The report forecasts a substantial growth rate of 34.3% in the Asia/Pacific sovereign cloud market (excluding Japan) in 2024.This significant projection highlights the increasing investments being made in sovereign cloud solutions as organizations across the region prioritize data sovereignty and regulatory compliance while expanding their hybrid cloud strategies. This market validation confirms the strong demand for the type of solutions that CloudSigma and Starview Technologies will jointly offer.
