Data center player, 1-Net Singapore, announces plans to expand its telco-class Tier 3 Internet Data Center, fully-integrated with a complete suite of managed services in Singapore to meet the growing demands for outsourced IT services throughout Southeast Asian markets.
Within the next six months, 1-Net will add approximately 20,000 square feet of hosting space to its existing 80,000 square feet data center located at Chai Chee. In addition, 2010 will see the establishment of 1-Net Singapore’s new Tier 4 data center adopting the latest green technologies in its own independent building. 1-Net will also be hiring additional IT professionals with these expansion plans.
1-Net acts as a one-stop shop that takes care of its customers’ needs by extending a suite of managed services to them. Some of the services include systems management, backup and storage management, managed security and monitoring.
The expanded capacity will also allow more businesses to take advantage of 1-Net’s status as a carrier-neutral data centre with the ability to provide zero mile access to the Internet via its multi-homed internet exchange, as well as the broadband network on Gigabit Ethernet (GE) platform that interconnects the majority of broadband traffic within 1-Net premises.
Together with its recently established status as one of the founding members of the Asia Data Center Alliance (ADCA), these expansions will place 1-Net in an even better position to serve rising needs for data centre services in Asia. The ADCA is a four-member alliance that enables companies in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam to, by approaching a single interface, access to services complying with international standards, and the advantage of transferring data and digital content media seamlessly across borders.
