Singapore part of Savvis' seven-city data centre expansion

The global IT conglomerate is building a new 32,000-sqft data center -- the only one planned for Asia -- due to open August 1.

IThis is part of Savvis' seven-city data centre expansion which spans three continents. In the United States, it plans to set up a combined 164,00-sqft of new space facilities across four locations: Santa Clara, Calif. (36,000 sqft), Washington, D.C. (45,000 sqft), Dallas (51,000 sqft) and Weehawken, N.J. (32,000 sqft).

Across the Atlantic, in London, Savvis plans to launch 23,000-sqft of new space facilities, with London (LO3) receiving 11,000 sqft and London (LO6) getting 12,000 sqft.

The data centre expansions should "increase the company's global footprint in response to growing market demand for its enterprise cloud , managed hosting , network and colocation services," said Savvis in a release.

This brings up the number of Savvis data centers in North America, Europe and Asia to more than 50.

"While enterprises focus on their core strengths, Savvis provides the IT infrastructure and services that sharpen their competitive edge in today's demanding, ever-changing global marketplace," said Brian Klingbeil, senior vice president, product, marketing and commercial development at Savvis. "We offer a high-quality, flexible IT infrastructure backed by a broad range of enterprise-class products, services, reliability and network expertise."

Savvis is a company under CenturyLink, the third largest US telco. It is a global player in cloud infrastructure and hosted IT solutions for enterprises.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
