Leading data centers into a new era
Necessity is said to be the mother of invention and Singapore has proven that through its history and through its development as a data center hub. Its estimated capacity of over 600 MW is located on a small island with no fossil fuel resources and limited access to renewables. Singapore has prospered through innovation that has woven data centers and technology into the fabric of the state as a key to the future. Combined with social stability, transparency and various rankings for doing business where it is always in the Top Ten, this creates a sought-after ecosystem in which to locate a data center. But the data center landscape is changing and the data center of the future will be denser, better connected, more automated, more reliant on sources of renewable energy and more reliant on specialist skill sets. How will Singapore manage this upcoming wave of changes in order to retain its premium status globally?
Come to W.Media’s 2023 Singapore Datacenter event and find out more!
Singapore continues to play a key role in the global digital ecosystem as a gateway into South East Asia and the wider Asia Pacific region. Additionally, digital demand is generated by its role as a major financial, commercial and logistics hub. How will Singapore’s role change over the next few years? What will be the challenges? And the opportunities?
What is the current view of datacenters among the investment community? What are the factors influencing sentiment? Which locations are attracting interest? What role do areas nearby to Singapore such as Batam, Bintan, and Johor play in meeting infrastructure demand? What is the future view of the sector?
Space is a valuable and limited resource in many cities across the Asia Pacific. As local demand rises, how can design and construction meet the challenges of building in high density urban environments?
Where there is choice, people and businesses buy values as much as they do products or services. Singapore’s acknowledged role as a global digital hub is based on a market-relevant and unique proposition and delivery on it. What are the core values that Singapore as a datacenter location stands for? How will the moratorium have changed these? And how does the continuing evolution of Indonesia, Malaysia, India, the Philippines, Thailand impact the established role of Singapore as gateway and digital harbour for these (and other) markets, and therefore its space in the investor mind set?
Singapore has for a long time demonstrated the leadership in sustainability required to host a considerable number of datacenters with limited local energy resources. Target outcomes have been achieved through legislation, improved management practices and technological innovation. How will Singapore’s initiatives move forward into the future and what factors will influence change?
How will Singapore’s multi-tenant datacenters need to adapt in order to fulfill their key role in local and regional digital transformation? What will be the investment priorities in order to develop and maintain the necessary services and infrastructure? What are the key challenges and opportunities ahead?
The ‘skills shortage’, increasing labour costs, the need to keep people separated during the pandemic and the minimization of operational risk have increased deployment of digital technologies in data center management and operation.
Which particular data center techs and solutions will make the greatest difference to performance, sustainability and resilience over the next few years? What will be the key tasks and targets for IoT, AI/ML, robotics, VR/AR and other emerging technologies?
This expert presentation will look at how supply chain issues are likely to play out for Singapore as well as the issues raised by Scope 3, and approaches that can be used to integrate Scope 3 into an effective sustainability strategy.
Exploring Cutting-Edge Approaches to Safeguarding Singapore’s Cloud Edge: Strategies and Logistics for Secure Cloud-Based Edge Computing with Robust Cybersecurity, understanding of the evolving strategies and deployment logistics necessary to secure Singapore’s future cloud edge.
Power sourcing, distribution, consumption, protection and storage are all put regularly into the spotlight as datacenters globally look to minimise power wastage and squeeze the greatest possible return from increasing power costs. What are the systems and technologies that will transform the journey of power into and inside datacenters and reduce the aspects of wastage seemingly inherent in that process?
The challenge presented by cooling and heat removal is one of the most considered and discussed in the data center ecosystem. As a tropical city, the issue is of particular relevance to Singapore. What is the latest thinking on cooling challenges and strategies and what will upcoming technological advances bring?
The evolution of the digital world where data centre and cloud play a central role has meant the weight of demand has shifted east and south, from the established markets of Europe, North America and North Asia to younger markets in Latin America, Asia and Africa. With this change comes the revaluation of key opportunity and risk factors in decision making and a range of changing social, economic and geo-political impact factors. How will this shape the future for markets and cities reliant on inward investment?
