Singapore data centres

Singapore is one of the most open economies for international trade and investment worldwide due to its regulation, low tax rates and lack of corruption. It is considered a global financial hub, with Singapore banks offering world-class corporate bank account facilities. For seven consecutive years, the island-state was ranked No.1 in the world for the ease of doing business by the World Bank. In addition, low risks of natural disasters make it an ideal base for data centre operations.

Through the building of a high quality and extremely progressive regulatory environment for the local telecoms sector, Singapore has also developed the status of a world leader in telecommunications and a great base for colocation providers such as Telehouse. The city-state has successfully promoted itself an IT hub and a place of excellence for innovation in technology services. The nation is determined to embark on new and innovative telecom and IT projects with one of the key drivers being the ICT industry.
