Japan Land, the provider of real estate-related services and solutions across the value chain, today announced the completion of its largest data centre in Singapore — Jurong Data Centre.

Jurong Data Centre has seven floors with a gross floor area of 34,440 square metres.

Offering 18,581 square metres (200,000 square feet) of data centre space across six floors, JDC allows for more than 30 dedicated data suites.

Each of the six floors could be a data centre by itself, with independent and separate mechanical and engineering facilities, including generators and fuel storage tanks — a unique feature among data centres across the world.

All of the centre’s facilities, including power supplies, air conditioning and telecommunication systems, are fully redundant to ensure maximum availability and business continuity for its tenants.

The ground floor comprises main plant rooms, specially approved and integrated power substations, server rooms, conference rooms as well as a reception area.

A total of 50 car park lots are provided in a three-storey podium block adjacent to the centre.

Japan Land says the data centre has already secured a number of customers, including fibre-optic broadband company OpenNet, a consortium comprising Axia NetMedia, Singapore Telecommunications, Singapore Press Holdings and Singapore Power Telecommunications.

While an official marketing campaign has not been launched, the management of JDC is currently in close discussions with several other companies, both international and local, on potential contracts.
