The Kim Chuan Telecommunications Centre 2 will be SingTel's fifth facility of this type in the country. The new 150,000 square foot building will increase the company's total capacity in Singapore to more than 500,000 square feet.
The KCTC-2 facility will be built to meet recent revisions in the Singapore Building and Construction Authority's "Green Mark" initiative, a rating system for evaluating the environmental impact and eco-friendly design features of a facility. The facility, expected to be complete in early 2010, will be focused on high-efficiency computing, using blade servers and adhering to Singapores's iN2015 initiative.
The facility will also meet Tier 4 specifications, which allow more than no more than 24 minutes of downtime per year, and require a redundant backbone connection.
The last week has seen several other green data center building initiatives announced, including the news that Hitachi is building a new wing to its facility in Yokohama, Japan. The new facility will be, in part, a proving ground for the company's green storage and networking technology. | Reads: 1191 | Category: General | Source: TheWHIR : Web Host Industry Reviews
