NTT completes Singapore Data Center

NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) announced completed construction of the Singapore Serangoon Data Center, which is designed to serve the needs of financial services industry and enterprises that require high power, low latency networks and a stable and secured infrastructure to build on their private cloud. NTT Com marked the occasion with a cornerstone laying ceremony where articles were placed in a time capsule.

The construction was carried out by NTT Worldwide Telecommunications Corporation (NTT WT) and the services will be offered through NTT Singapore Pte. Ltd. (NTT Singapore), both of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of NTT Com.

Serangoon Data Center, as well as NTT Com's data centers in Hong Kong and Japan is located strategically in close proximity of the stock exchanges to provide low latency networks to the financial industry for high-frequency electronic trading.

The data center also can host high density racks of up to 12kVA and is fitted with IPv6 ready infrastructure.

The Serangoon Data Center incorporates NTT Com's exacting standards for uniform, world-class data-center services, facilities and operations. NTT Com's standards are aligned closely with those of globally recognized organizations, such as the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), The Uptime Institute, Inc. (TUI) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE).

Plans are to make the center fully operational by end of February.
