Local cloud services and data center pioneer IP Converge Data Services Inc. said it formed a strategic partnership with 1-Net in Singapore to strengthen the data center services of both providers amid growing demand in Asia.
IPC said the move was a part of longstanding plan to equip customers with an interconnected data center network built for an increasingly digitized economy.
IPC and 1-Net are both data center providers that operate carrier-neutral and telco-grade internet data centers in the Philippines and Singapore, respectively.
Recent reports from Structure Research, an independent research and consulting firm, projected continued growth in data center demand in Asia. Singapore is considered a default location for international expansion to the Asia-Pacific region. Global companies are increasingly building their own data centers in Singapore, as well as outsourcing to professional data center services providers.
“Our partnership with 1-Net virtually expands the data center footprint of both companies. Gaining access to data center facilities in Singapore enables our enterprise customers to extend their network into the more mature market in Singapore, and likewise offers the same benefit to regional players present in Singapore who are looking to expand into our bustling Philippines economy for business expansion,” said IPC chief executive Reynaldo Huergas.
