Digital Realty, Softlayer signs Data Centre Lease in Singapore
Digital Realty Trust Inc. has signed a lease agreement with SoftLayer Technologies in Q2 2011 to provide 48,000 square feet (4459 square meters) of Turn-Key Datacentre space in Singapore. SoftLayer Technologies is said to use the facility to expand and enhance its capabilities for delivering leading cloud, dedicated, and managed hosting solutions throughout the Asia Pacific region.
George Karidis, Chief Strategy Officer, SoftLayer Technologies said, "Proximity to our customers is crucial to driving innovation and improving a better end-user experience. We turned to Digital Realty to assist us in our international expansion efforts because their facilities gave us a way to rapidly deploy and get our data centre operations live quickly. They also understood the importance of having this data centre operate to the highest standards, ensuring our customers get the same experience from every SoftLayer data centre globally."
Kris Kumar, Regional Head, Asia Pacific, Digital Realty said, "We've worked closely with SoftLayer to help them scale and meet their growing demands for data centre space throughout the world. This project fulfills an important milestone in SotfLayer's quest to keep up with international customer demand. Our lease agreement represents a huge boost of confidence in our capabilities to deliver not only in Singapore but in the overall Asia Pacific region."
Digital Realty's 29A International Business Park property is a new 370,500 square foot (34421 square meters) data centre facility located in Singapore's Jurong East area. The seven-story data centre development project delivers up to 30 MW of 2N UPS capacity and a design that enables it to support both dedicated and shared customer environments. The building offers over 4.5 MW of IT load on each of its six data centre floors with the entire site supported by an N+2 continuous cooling architecture. SoftLayer has its own floor at the 29A location that functions as two dedicated data centres. Other floors in the building can support multiple customers in Digital Realty's Turn-Key Datacentres for immediate customer deployment.
Each Digital Realty Turn-Key Datacentre facility is physically secure and features a state-of-the-art power and cooling architecture that has been optimized for green operation. Every Turn-Key Datacentre is built using the Company's proprietary POD Architecture(R) and uses metered power to ensure that clients pay only for the power that they use. The facility also comes standard with Digital Realty's PowerVU software, which enables centralized monitoring and management of data centre power consumption, energy efficiency and load analysis.
