Asia’s Leading Data Centers Sign Memorandum of Understanding

Four of South East Asia’s leading data centers namely Singapore’s 1-Net Singapore, Malaysia’s The AIMS Asia Group, Vietnam’s CMC Telecom and Thailand’s TCC Technology (TCCT) announced today the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to form a Data Center Alliance to meet acute data center requirements in the region. Together, the data centers within the Alliance will form a one-stop Hub that provides a full suite of services and connectivity.

With a combined space of more than 500,000 square feet and a projected annual turnover of S$100 million by 2009, the Alliance will become one of the biggest data center operators in the region catered for first-tier telcos, government agencies, banks and other businesses.

The focal point of this Alliance is to create network and systems interoperability while allowing peering between all its data centers to enable seamless transfer of data and digital media for enterprises. It will also offer value added managed services such as Digital Asset Management and delivery systems. Through the Alliance, customers can easily set up complementary and alternative disaster recovery sites across borders. The objective is to ensure enterprise customers can gain easy access to the same high level of service at every data center within the Alliance.
