SINGAPORE Telecom (SingTel) will build a new state-of-the-art data centre at Kim Chuan which will be equipped to deliver highly secure and reliable network infrastructure services to support the next-generation infocomm requirements.
The Kim Chuan Telecommunications Centre 2 will be constructed to meet the Building and Construction Authority’s recently-revised requirements under its Green Mark scheme, that ensures energy and water efficiency.It will be located next to SingTel’s existing data centre there and will be the telco’s fifth facility in Singapore when completed in early 2010.
It will offer 150,000 sq ft of space, making it one of the largest data centres here, and will increase SingTel’s total data centre capacity here to more than half a million sq ft.
The centre will have high capacity power and cooling systems with full redundancy, advanced fire suppression systems and cabling infrastructure designed with diversity to ensure maximum uptime. It can also withstand the increasing weight of sophisticated computing and data storage systems.
SingTel’s executive vice-president for Business, Mr Bill Chang. anticipates strong demand. “Increasingly, customers are looking for end-to-end managed solutions that offer convenience and peace of mind,” he said.
