SINGTEL is readying a new state-of-the-art data centre at Kim Chuan that will deliver secure network infrastructure services, Singapores biggest telecom operator said on Wedneday.

The Kim Chuan Telecommunications Centre 2 (KCTC-2), ready by 2010, will offer 150,000 square feet of space for data centre needs, making it one of the biggest in Singapore.

The telco sees the growth of high-performance computing and the IN2015 government IT initiative driving up demand for such facilities.
