DC Alliance & Pacific Blockchain Partner to Explore Building the first Data Centre in Republic of Palau

DC Alliance has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Palau-based Pacific Blockchain Corporation to explore the commercial viability of developing a Tier III rated Data Centre in the Republic of Palau.

Palau is an up-and-rising gateway between Asia and the Americas, with its first submarine cable connected in 2017 and a second one underway, a dedicated branch off the proposed ECHO cable network.

First Tier-rated facility

The proposed facility will be the first and only Data Centre in Palau as well as the Republic’s first Tier-rated facility. The 1MW Uptime-Certified Tier III Data Centre will be able to accommodate up to 200 racks initially, with the development potential to increase capacity to 5MW with up to 1,000 racks. Both companies will, from the outset, explore adopting sustainable and renewable solutions to develop an environmentally responsible Data Centre.

According to industry watchers, bandwidth usage in Palau has increased by around seven times since its first submarine cable connection and this remarkable growth is set to continue with its recently announced digital residency program and its ambitious plans to develop its FinTech industry.

“DC Alliance has always recognised the potential of operating at the Edge. Our last deal with DXN Limited expanded our footprint across Australia. Now, Palau is our first step out of Australia into a frontier market with immense potential. I’m pleased that Pacific Blockchain Corporation has entrusted DC Alliance the privilege of providing its expertise in Data Centre Design, Build and Operate to achieve the goal of building the first Uptime-Certified Data Centre in Palau.” Roy Wong, Executive Chairman of DC Alliance

Shalom Ngelechel Etpison, Vice-President of Pacific Blockchain Corporation said: “Strategically, Palau’s location is positioned perfectly as a digital crossroad for the ever-growing data traffic across the Pacific. Our state-of-the-art internet connectivity will only be enhanced further in the coming years. With these assets, the Palau government is embracing new technology such as blockchain and digital residency, moving forward with its digital finance technology plans. Building a data centre is the next practical step for Palau and the timing could not be better than now.”
