DBS launches cloud-based data centre

It will reduce costs to run the old data centre by 75%.

DBS Bank partnered with data centre provider Equinix to transform its traditional data centre into a cloud-optimised one.

According to a press release, this will allow the bank to move its main data centre to significantly smaller premises. The bank said this will make the new centre 75% cheaper to run.

DBS said it has been migrating to cloud-optimised technology in recent years, resulting in huge efficiency savings while increasing storage and computing capacity by 7x since 2014.

The bank said its compute workloads have doubled in the last three years and are still expected to grow.

It previously announced that it would shift 50% of its compute workload to the public cloud by 2018. It previously launched partnerships with Amazon Web Services and Pivotal Cloud Foundry for cloud-related services.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
