StarHub has inked a partnership with AirTrunk to offer hyperscale data centre services for enterprises as well as support growing demand from sectors such as e-games, e-sports, and e-commerce. Expected to be available to customers from mid-2020, the facility will be an essential addition to the Singapore telco’s datacentre network with the emergence of 5G services.
StarHub added that the new 60-megawatt hyperscale campus would be “carrier-neutral” and could interconnect to public cloud providers also located at the AirTrunk SGP1 site. Located in Loyang and close to the Changi North Cable Landing Station, the Singapore telco said in a statement Wednesday that the data centre served as a critical gateway to for several major submarine cables that linked Singapore with other global markets.
AirTrunk in April said it was investing SGD$450 million in the new facility, which would push its data centre footprint in the region to three. The Australian company said the site would be the largest neutral data centre in Singapore and was specifically designed for hyperscale cloud, content, and enterprise customers.
