The United States’ shifting and frequently adjusted tariff policies are placing significant pressure on the global supply chain. This wave of uncertainty not only impacts traditional manufacturing but may also challenge Thai companies that are heavily reliant on U.S.-based cloud platforms, leading to potential increases in cloud procurement costs and expanded cybersecurity risks. In such an environment of growing uncertainty, diversifying cloud risks and adopting local cloud services could become a new strategy for enterprises to maintain operational stability.
GWS CLOUD, a Taiwan-based cloud brand now entering its fourth year in Thailand, offers a strong alternative. Backed by its parent company eASPNet, which brings over 25 years of experience in data center and cloud operations, GWS CLOUD stands out as one of the few enterprise-grade service providers with both global backbone connectivity and stable GPU computing power. Recognizing the rapid digital and AI-driven transformation underway in Thailand, GWS CLOUD has partnered with the country’s top-tier data center, Data Zone Company Limited (formerly known as SUPERNAP Thailand) to deliver three core advantages: data localization, pricing stability, and local technical support. This makes GWS CLOUD a dependable partner for enterprises pursuing cloud transformation amidst global uncertainty.
Although cloud services operate virtually, they do fundamentally depend on physical supply chains, including servers, GPUs, and other hardware. When the U.S.-centric supply chain is disrupted by tariffs or regulatory shifts, Thai enterprises may face rising fees for usage, APIs, and computing resources, putting pressure on IT budgets and business strategies. In contrast, GWS CLOUD has built a robust local supply chain across Asia, shielding enterprises from international pricing volatility and enabling better control over IT spending and operations.
To meet the diverse needs of enterprises, GWS CLOUD is also investing in innovation. In response to changes in vSphere Standard licensing, the company introduced its All-in-ONE Cloud Platform, which integrates virtualization management, storage, and networking into a cohesive solution. This innovation allows enterprises to streamline their IT architecture, improve operational efficiency, and better manage their total cost of ownership (TCO).
In keeping with the AI trend, GWS CLOUD also launched the GWS AI Cloud, a comprehensive GPU computing platform that offers a full suite of AI solutions, including GPU rental, AI training platform setup, language model planning, maintenance, and consulting. The platform also integrates public cloud GPU resources, significantly reducing deployment time for AI development environments and allowing for flexible adaptation of various application needs.
Ms. Szu Ni Wu, CEO of GWS CLOUD, stated that as hardware costs and tariff-related risks continue to rise, enterprises that choose GWS CLOUD for AI deployment can avoid the high capital expenditures and lengthy lead times associated with building their own AI data centers and acquiring GPU hardware. Through a pay-as-you-go, high-efficiency, low-barrier model, businesses can swiftly adopt AI applications, drive innovation, and maintain a competitive edge.
On the cybersecurity front, GWS CLOUD is fully aligned with international standards and continually enhances its cloud and information security frameworks. In addition to certifications such as ISO 27001, 27011, 27017, and 27018, the company has also achieved CSA STAR Level 2 certification, reflecting its deep commitment to cloud security governance and data privacy protection.
As global supply chains and the cloud landscape grow increasingly complex, GWS CLOUD remains dedicated to helping enterprises build agile, multi-cloud, and AI-driven operations—ensuring long-term resilience in a volatile world.
