It will be completed in Q3 2016.

Singtel today unveiled its largest-ever data centre investment in Singapore with a new $400 million, Tier 3-Plus data centre in Jurong.

The centre, which will be completed in the third quarter of next year, has an approximate gross floor area of 570,000 square feet and boasts high-grade private and co-location data hosting capabilities.

“This new data centre is designed to meet the critical hosting needs of the financial services industry, government agencies, and cloud and Internet service providers,” said Bill Chang, Chief Executive Officer, Group Enterprise.

“It enables Singtel to attract and host world-class cloud players in Singapore and position the country as a global hub for cloud computing and innovation,” Chang added.

This new facility brings Singtel’s network of data centres in Asia Pacific to 13 – nine in Singapore and two each in Hong Kong and Australia.

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.
