DATA CENTRES
TCC Technology (TCCT) and three other data centres, 1-Net Singapore, Malaysia's AIMS Asia Group and Vietnam's CMC Telecom, last week announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to form a Data Centre Alliance to meet data centre requirements in the region.
Together, the data centres in the alliance will form a one-stop hub that will provide a full suite of services and connectivity options. With a combined space of more than 46,451m2 and a projected annual turnover of S$100 million (2.46 billion baht) by 2009, the alliance will become one of the biggest data centre operators in the region, catering to first-tier telcos, government agencies, banks and other businesses.
The alliance aims to create networks and provide systems interoperability while allowing peering between all of its data centres to enable seamless transfers 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 centre within the alliance.
Upon signing the MoU, the members of the alliance will move towards definitive agreements between the parties, common service level agreements and establish peering between the data centres to enable operations to start by the end of this year.
The four-country alliance offers a unique advantage of providing regional value-added services while understanding and serving local customer needs.
Enterprises can expect to reap the full benefits at each of the data centres under the alliance, including best practices, high reliability and security.
Alliance data centres will meet Tier III and above standards, as specified by the Uptime Institute's Data Centre Tier Classification. They will also use ISO 27001 as a reference for information security management, an ISO 9001 quality management system and an ISO 20000 IT Service Management Standard.
