NovaGlobal Pte Ltd: Fueling Growth with AI and High-Performance Computing
Ivan PK Ho, CEO and FounderNovaGlobal bridges this gap by developing, testing and deploying powerful AI and HPC systems. Unlike conventional IT partners who support enterprise applications, storage and general IT infrastructure, it specializes in building and optimizing AI infrastructure tailored for research institutions, universities and enterprises embracing AI. Strategic partnership with NVIDIA ensures access to cutting-edge technology and faster, more effective system deployments.
"Having advanced technology isn’t enough; success comes from how well organizations integrate it into their operations," says Ivan PK Ho, CEO and founder.
In standard IT environments, businesses typically rely on licensed software from vendors like Microsoft, where support, updates and training are provided by the supplier.
AI and HPC systems lean on open-source technologies, primarily Linux-based. These systems offer greater flexibility and cost savings but require specialized expertise for setup, maintenance and performance tuning. Complex configurations and troubleshooting often lead to delays and inefficiencies.
NovaGlobal’s extensive deployment experience ensures smooth implementation. The company provides proof-of-concept tests, engineer cross-training and customized methodologies to help clients fully leverage open-source flexibility while minimizing operational challenges.
Once systems become operational, ongoing tasks like software updates and troubleshooting become simpler. Remote support resolves 75-90 percent of issues without an on-site team, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Adopting key technologies, NovaGlobal remains at the forefront of innovation. Historically, enterprise IT infrastructure relied on servers, networking and virtualization technologies such as VMware, with a strong preference for on-premises deployments. But, AI workloads demand a more flexible and scalable approach, making cloud integration a critical consideration. Kubernetes has emerged as a pivotal technology to meet this demand, and NovaGlobal has been an early adopter. By enabling application containerization, Kubernetes simplifies workload deployment across both on-premises and cloud environments with minimal code modifications.

This advancement has transformed the efficiency and scalability of AI HPC deployments.
Long-standing partnerships with NVIDIA further drive NovaGlobal’s success. NVIDIA’s DGX systems come pre-configured with its software stack, slashing setup times and enabling operations within hours. This rapid deployment accelerates time-to-value for clients.
The DGX systems enabled the National University of Singapore (NUS) to accelerate its AI and Data Science research. Traditionally, setting up an OEM server would take several months, hindering researchers' ability to begin their work promptly. For a high-profile research institution like NUS, this delay was a critical bottleneck. NovaGlobal’s deployment of DGX systems cut setup time from months to hours, enabling researchers to start work immediately. This swift implementation boosted productivity and delivered substantial cost savings, as each researcher at NUS incurred approximately $5,000 per month.
The National University Health System (NUHS), Singapore has also greatly benefited from NVIDIA DGX AI solutions, enhancing precision medicine through faster and more accurate diagnostics. NovaGlobal played a critical role in getting these systems up and running quickly, ensuring that the NUHS could focus on its core mission of advancing medical science and healthcare delivery. It continues to provide critical support, ensuring the reliability and performance of HPC systems in healthcare environments.
NovaGlobal leads the global HPC and AI market, expanding its footprint and delivering transformative solutions where they are needed most.
