AirTrunk introduces Singapore's largest independent, most efficient data centre

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 -- Asia-Pacific hyperscale data centre specialist, AirTrunk has opened the doors to Singapore’s largest independent data centre, with an industry low Power Usage Effectiveness, making it the most efficient facility in the country.

The state-of-the-art 60+ megawatt (MW) data centre, AirTrunk SGP1, is set on 1.5 hectares in Loyang, close to the Changi North Cable Landing Station for strong international connectivity.

With over 20,000 square metres of data hall area, the scalable campus is designed for hyperscale customers, supporting their rapid growth in Singapore and throughout South East Asia.

It is AirTrunk’s first Singaporean data centre and a key part of the company’s growing Asia-Pacific platform. The campus opens today with its first 30 MW phase, which will soon be followed by a second phase already under construction to cater for strong customer demand.

Airtrunk Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Robin Khuda, said SGP1 supported some of the largest technology companies in the world.

“Hyperscale data centre demand in Singapore has been fuelled by increased cloud adoption in the region, further accelerated by COVID-19. Our customers continue to grow their digital footprint across the Asia-Pacific region and need the supporting critical infrastructure,” he said in a statement.

The fast delivery of SGP1 demonstrates AirTrunk’s ability to move quickly at the behest of this customer demand. It was delivered in just over a year with no lost time injuries despite over 1,000 people working more than 1.6 million work hours in total.

AirTrunk also opened its 20+MW Hong Kong facility today in an unprecedented double data centre launch.
