Tata Communications Announces $430 Mn Investment In Asia Pacific

Tata Communications has announced its $430 million strategic investment plan in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. The investments include developing the Tata Communications Exchange, which comprises a new Internet Data Centre (IDC), and the completion of the main segment of its TGN-Intra Asia Cable System.

Tata Communications Exchange

To meet increasing outsourcing demands from multinational corporations into emerging markets, Tata Communications is expanding its capacity with the construction of a flagship data centre, the Tata Communications Exchange in Singapore. It will be ready for operation in early 2010. The new data centre will provide increased capacity for both domestic and international companies, allowing them to realise cost and resource efficiencies in addition to achieving greater service availability and performance. The Singapore IDC is a key gateway location into the APAC region. Its integration into Tata Communications’ high capacity Tier-1 network enables the company to meet current and future IT infrastructure service demands of its customers.

Building on Tata Communications’ global submarine cable and Tier-1 Internet Protocol (IP) network, the new data centre will deliver co-location, managed hosting, managed storage and value-added services.
