Anaplan AWS Singapore: 500MW AI-Driven Data Infrastructure

Status: Live / Operational   |   Location: Strategic Industrial Zone, Singapore

Project Overview

The Anaplan AWS Singapore AI Data Center represents a pivotal milestone in the digital evolution of Southeast Asia. Formally launched on February 23, 2026, this facility is the crown jewel of Anaplan’s $500 million global innovation roadmap. Strategically situated in Singapore, the project is designed to address the skyrocketing demand for AI-native planning, sovereign data hosting, and real-time decision-making for enterprises across the Asia-Pacific region.

Strategic Importance and Market Alignment
The launch comes at a time when Singapore is reinforcing its position as the premier "AI Hub" of the East. By leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, Anaplan provides local and multinational corporations with a platform that combines high-performance computing with localised data residency. This is particularly crucial for sectors like finance, healthcare, and government, where data sovereignty regulations require that sensitive information remain within national borders.

Technological Sophistication
The data center is engineered specifically for "Anaplan Intelligence", a suite of role-based AI agents that require massive computational power and ultra-low latency. The facility integrates AWS's latest Graviton4 and Trainium2 chips, optimised for large-scale AI inference and training. This allows businesses to unify their supply chain, finance, and workforce planning into a single, real-time "digital twin" of their entire organisation.

Sustainability and Efficiency
Despite the high energy demands of AI workloads, the project adheres to Singapore’s Green Data Center Roadmap. It features advanced liquid cooling systems to manage the heat generated by dense GPU clusters and utilises a sophisticated Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) monitoring system. The facility is powered by a mix of renewable energy credits and direct power purchase agreements (PPAs) from regional solar and wind projects, aiming for a carbon-neutral footprint in alignment with AWS’s 2030 sustainability goals.

Economic and Regional Impact
Beyond technology, the project is a major economic driver. It is estimated to support over 2,000 jobs indirectly through the construction and supply chain phases and has created 150+ high-skilled permanent roles for data scientists, cloud architects, and site reliability engineers. As the primary gateway for Southeast Asian data traffic, the Singapore facility serves as the anchor for Anaplan's expansion into neighbouring markets like Indonesia and Malaysia, providing a blueprint for how AI-ready infrastructure can be deployed in land-constrained, high-demand urban environments.
