Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SingTel) announced today that it will build a new state-of-the-art data centre at Kim Chuan, which will boost the telco's total data centre capacity in Singapore to more than half a million square feet.
The Kim Chuan Telecommunications Centre 2 (KCTC-2), expected to be completed in early 2010, will offer 150,000 square feet of data centre space, making it one of the largest data centres in Singapore.Mr Bill Chang, SingTel's Executive Vice President for Business, said that SingTel anticipates strong demand for KCTC-2's hosting facilities due to its strategic location, state-of-the-art infrastructure and complete infocomm service offerings.
The new KCTC-2 will be constructed to meet the recently revised requirements of the Building and Construction Authority's (BCA) Green Mark scheme, a green building rating system that evaluates buildings based on criteria such as energy and water efficiency, as well as environmental protection and innovation.
SingTel shares were trading 3 cents lower on Wednesday afternoon at $3.85 a share. -- BT Newsroom.
