Customers benefit from having many geographically dispersed data centres to choose from for their hosting needs, allowing the data to reside closest to their end users for increased access speeds or for compliance requirements.

The Singapore data centre is connected to other Southeast Asia regions via 6 diverse submarine cable systems. The Singapore data centre is a purpose built facility and operates under some of the most stringent data centre requirements in the country, including true 2N redundant power systems, which means that no single point of failure will interrupt the operation of the Data Centre equipment.
