Green IT at T-Systems Singapore

T-Systems reinforces commitment and expands footprint in Singapore: It opens new consolidated office and its third data centre based on the principles of Green IT.

Driven by the growth of the customers in Asia: T-Systems announced a significant extension of its Singapore operations to include a new ‘green’ data centre and expanded office. To demonstrate the importance of the Singapore operations, T-System’s existing building at Tai Seng Drive 23 will be renamed Deutsche Telekom Centre. T-Systems will invest an estimated two-digit million (S$) in its new infrastructure over the next five years. “Our increasing investment in Singapore reflects our commitment to provide greater support to our customers in Asia Pacific as well as to attract and retain the finest talent in the region,” said Thomas Jakob, CEO Singapore and Malaysia at T-Systems.

Enhance Service Offering

The new data center covers close to 30,000 square feet and will further enhance the dynamic computing, managed services and disaster recovery services offered by T-Systems in Singapore. It boasts unique features that are based on the principles of Green IT. For example, through the materials used, both the data center and the new office space are designed to reduce detrimental effects on the environment. Blinds that reflect the heat are fitted in order to reduce the need for air conditioning, and revolutionary flooring that is kinder to the environment will also be a feature.
