Singtel Digital InfraCo’s sovereign AI cloud, RE:AI, announced on March 12 a partnership with Cohesity to introduce an intelligent, sovereign AI data security and management service. The new offering is designed to help enterprises find answers and insights from years of stored files while ensuring sensitive information remains within Singapore.
The partnership aims to address the challenge many organizations face in accessing valuable information stored in backup systems. These archives often contain important documents, emails, reports, and system records that are essential for recovery but difficult for current large language models and AI applications to search or analyze. By cataloguing and organizing historical data, the new service allows enterprises and government agencies to search and query their archives in real time, generating more accurate responses from richer context.
Bill Chang, CEO of Singtel’s Digital InfraCo unit, said, “Enterprise backup data has traditionally been treated as a safeguard for recovery rather than a rich source of intelligence. By combining RE:AI’s sovereign AI capabilities with market-leading data security capabilities from Cohesity, enterprises can finally harness historical data that has long remained untapped to generate deeper insights and make faster, more informed decisions. Importantly, they can do this while keeping sensitive information protected and within Singapore’s regulatory environment.”
Cohesity will also contribute research and development resources to Singtel Digital InfraCo’s Centre of Excellence for Applied AI with NVIDIA announced in February 2026. This move is expected to strengthen the Centre’s ecosystem for secure adoption of AI across enterprises and government agencies.
Sanjay Poonen, president and CEO of Cohesity, said, “The future of AI must be built on a foundation of security and governance. Through our partnership with RE:AI, we are transforming protected enterprise data into a trusted, AI-ready knowledge layer within Singapore’s sovereign cloud environment.” He added that combining Cohesity’s technology with RE:AI infrastructure enables organizations to accelerate insight without compromising compliance or privacy. “Security should be the enabler of AI innovation, not the obstacle.”
The service also supports audits, investigations, regulatory reporting needs by allowing retrieval of information at any point in time. It enhances cyber resilience by enabling rapid identification and isolation of impacted systems during incidents such as ransomware attacks. The solution is available in both single-tenant and multi-tenant configurations tailored for regulated sectors including financial services, healthcare, and government.
