Project is partially pre-leased to Singapore financial corporation
Global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data centre, colocation and interconnection solutions, Digital Realty has opened its third data centre in Singapore.
The newly opened facility is a 50-megawatt SIN12 facility marks a significant extension of the company’s global roadmap for critical infrastructure deployments on PlatformDIGITAL.
The project is partially pre-leased to a major Singaporean multinational banking and financial services corporation, a global industry leader in digital banking, fintech and sustainability, along with a global cloud provider.
The SIN12 facility provides an efficient, sustainable, secure and regulatory compliant location that will help customers build a future-proof foundation for their data centre strategy.
William Stein, CEO at Digital Realty said the development of our third data centre in Singapore underscores its long-term commitment to supporting the country’s digital economy as well as its fast-growing fintech industry, and to help keep critical industries functioning.
The new facility will be one of the most energy-efficient data centres in Singapore and will help our customers realise their digital ambitions as well as their sustainability goals,” he said.
“Digital Loyang II is adjacent to Digital Loyang I, or SIN11. The two facilities are connected by diverse high-count fiber routes, enabling customers in both facilities to connect directly via dark fiber cross-connects and to access numerous network and service providers.”
According to Stein, the Digital Loyang campus is located less than 25 kilometres from Singapore’s central business district and will provide up to 50 megawatts of critical power capacity to regional and global customers.
“The new development has been designed for highly energy-efficient operation with limited water usage and environmental impact and has already achieved a Platinum certification under Singapore’s BCA Green Mark building assessment system,” he said.
The Green Mark certification scheme is a green building rating system designed to evaluate a building’s environmental impact and performance. It provides a framework for assessing the overall environmental performance of new and existing buildings to promote sustainable design and best practices in construction and operations.
Both the existing SIN11 and SIN12 facilities are located close to the Changi North Cable landing station, a key sub-sea internet hub for the region. The multi-story SIN12 facility offers a total footprint of 34,000 square metres and will ultimately broaden opportunities for global enterprise customers to expand their core digital assets on PlatformDIGITAL in the key Singapore market.
