EQUINIX IN SINGAPORE

2 | EQUINIX IN SINGAPORE

Singapore has been independent for over 50 years, making its rise to a world-class economy a remarkably swift success story. This tiny island faced a host of political and fiscal challenges when it became a sovereign nation in 1965. Today, it’s known globally for a stable and honest government, a smart and proactive approach to emerging technology and a steady commitment to open markets.

To fully capitalize on the advantages Singapore offers, companies need a partner with a long history in the region and the experience and resources to provide the quality of interconnection crucial for business growth in a digital economy. They also need access to a choice of businesses with the assets, ambition and vision to recognize opportunity as the world shifts to digital.

Equinix in Singapore can deliver all of it.

Good Location, Smart PolicyLocation has undoubtedly played a major role in Singapore’s economic rise. The island sits between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, seven hours or less by air to all of Asia-Pacific’s most important markets, from Shanghai to Sydney. It’s just north of the equator, but the sea tempers its tropical climate, which has very little month-to-month variability. The country is also not prone to the earthquakes, tsunamis or other natural disasters that can plague its regional neighbors.

Singapore has a highly educated workforce, a sound goverment and advance infrastructure, including links to various regional and global submarine cable systems. The nation is consistently ranked one of the top three places to do business by the World Bank. And it’s regularly one of the top 10 least corrupt countries in Transparency International’s annual Corruption Perceptions Index.

Singapore is an excellent place to build a data center, thanks in part to various government initiatives designed to enhance industry competitiveness. Among them:

• The Green Data Centre Standard aims to reduce data center energy consumption, which typically accounts for the bulk a facility’s operating costs. The standard helps data center companies establish systems that continually lower power use, and it also defines specific performance metrics they can use to measure efficiency.

• The Personal Data Protection Act 2012 requires that individuals know about and consent to any organization’s efforts to gather, use or disclose their personal data. The law also aims to ensure the data is collected only for reasonable purposes. These protections are critical to companies in the technology space who are important data center industry customers.

Equinix began operating our first data center in Singapore in 2002, and we’ve since expanded to three data facilities (SG1, SG2, SG3) with more than 445,000 square feet of colocation space combined. The fourth data center, SG4, is scheduled to open in Q4 2019 and will provide customers the ideal location for deploying colocation on the east side of Singapore.

Our history and investment in Singapore reflect a deep commitment to the growing data center industry. We see Singapore as a place to interconnect businesses looking to expand into Asia. With unparalleled high-performing and secured connectivity, Equinix is the collaborator of choice for growing your organization’s digital business.

The interconnection inside Equinix Singapore is a bridge from the world to Asia and from Asia to the world

4 | DESIGNED FOR INTERCONNECTION

Our newest data center in Singapore, SG4, will provide interconnection and premium data center services to help businesses with their IT transformation and cloud adoption initiatives, while also supporting the digital infrastructure of Singapore. The new $85 million seven-story data center will be strategically situated at the East of Singapore in one of the country’s five data center clusters – Tai Seng Industrial Estate – providing location diversity from the three existing Equinix IBX data centers in Singapore.

SG4 will directly connect to the three existing Equinix IBX data centers in Singapore via low-latency dark fiber links, enabling customers to securely interconnect with 595+ companies from different industries, including financial services, cloud services, biomedical sciences, IT, communications, media, physical sciences and engineering.

In addition, SG4 will provide software-defined interconnection through the Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric™ to more than 1,300 businesses including some of the largest cloud service providers including Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud and Tencent Cloud.

SG1 is located next to SG3, they combine to form our One-North campus, and customers there get near instant access to the dense networks ecosystem we’ve built over 15 years located in SG1. This ecosystem hosts 200+ network carriers and offers an unmatched choice of regional and global vendors and network routes. One-North is a critical component of the ecosystem strength we’ve developed in Singapore to act as a magnet for innovation and new business.

Our cloud ecosystem, concentrated in SG2, is second only to the networks ecosystem in SG1 in size and prominence, with direct access to more than 155 cloud and IT service providers. SG2 will be connected to SG4 and SG1 by dedicated metro connect fiber, so interconnection between all three sites is immediate and secure.

6 | DESIGNED FOR A DIGITAL AGE

Equinix has been enabling interconnection for more than a decade and a half in Singapore, but the demand we’re seeing now is unprecedented and accelerating.

The global shift to digital technologies is hitting every industry in every region, and businesses that don’t adjust quickly are in danger of fading away. They can no longer rely on traditional IT architectures, where all traffic flows through a central corporate data center, no matter how far it has to go. That makes it impossible to get close to increasingly mobile users with the instant connectivity they demand. Instead, companies need to meet their users at the digital edge.

The digital edge is where the online information and services customers demand is actually delivered. It’s where populations are concentrated, where traffic flows are most dense, where digital ecosystems gather. The digital edge is where business is done, and it’s also where companies need to directly connect to their people, clouds, locations and data. Otherwise, the distance between companies and their data and end users is too great. Performance suffers, and opportunity is lost.

EQUINIX AND THE ENVIRONMENT | 9

Equinix and the Environment At Equinix, we seek to be good stewards of the environment and of the resources we consume. Equinix strives to lead the world in interconnection, while also minimizing our carbon and environmental footprint. We design, build and operate our data centers with high energy efficiency standards, and we’ve made a long-term pledge to use 100% clean and renewable energy across our entire global platform. This will enable us to offer carbon-neutral data center and interconnection services for our customers and partners around the globe.

When we design our data centers, we take advantage of local environmental conditions to further reduce our carbon footprint. For instance, we installed solar panels at SG3 to capitalize on Singapore’s location in the tropical sun belt, and solar energy now powers non-essential operations at SG3. We have also signed a solar power purchase agreement in Singapore.

Equinix Singapore pioneered a granular temperature control systems which when retrofitted in SG1, it improved its power usage effectiveness (PUE) by an impressive 15%. The same system has since been installed at all other Singapore facilities as well as data centers in Chicago, Hong Kong, Silicon Valley and Sydney.

In addition, Equinix Singapore has received multiple environment certifications, such as:

• SG1 - SS 564 Part 1: 2013 SG Standards for Green Data Centers; BCA-IMDA ‘Certified’ Green Mark Certification

• SG2 - SS 564 Part 1: 2013 SG Standards for Green Data Centers; BCA-IMDA ‘Platinum’ Green Mark Certification

• SG3 - SS 564 Part 1: 2013 SG Standards for Green Data Centers; BCA-IMDA ‘Platinum’ Green Mark Certification; LEED Gold
