Singtel had already commenced the construction of its DC Tuas facility in August. The facility is poised to be the largest of its kind with a capacity of 58 megawatts (MW). It will also incorporate the latest in sustainability initiatives, with lower carbon embedded materials in its construction and leveraging liquid cooling capabilities to enhance energy efficiency. With a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of around 1.23 at full load, DC Tuas is set to be one of the industry's most efficient data centres.
Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel) is developing a new era of artificial intelligence (AI) data centres (DCs) that are designed to efficiently handle the intensive workloads of enterprises and cloud companies.
“With the fast-growing adoption of AI across various industries, we see an inflexion point in the data centre industry for high power density, yet sustainable and hyper-connected AI DCs that are optimised to manage graphics processing unit (GPU) clusters for AI workloads. This is why we are building our fourth generation data centre platform specifically tailored for such intense compute environments,” says Bill Chang, CEO of Singtel's Digital InfraCo unit.
