Status: Operational | Location: Tampines Industrial Park, Singapore
Keppel DC Singapore 4 (KDC SGP 4) is a cornerstone facility within the critical data center market of Singapore, one of the world's most mature and capacity-constrained data center hubs. Located in the Tampines Industrial Park, the facility is strategically part of Keppel's established Tampines data center ecosystem (which includes KDC SGP 2 and KDC SGP 3), allowing customers in the cluster to leverage seamless, low-latency interconnection and scalability.
Commissioned in 2017, KDC SGP 4 is a five-storey, purpose-built facility designed to meet the rigorous demands of global blue-chip companies, financial institutions, and local enterprises requiring high availability and low latency. The facility is certified to Tier III-equivalent specifications, meaning it provides concurrently maintainable infrastructure with no single point of failure in its power and cooling systems, ensuring maximum uptime for mission-critical applications. This resilience is supported by a robust power infrastructure featuring four diverse incoming utility feeds and 2N redundancy for its electrical systems.
A significant feature of KDC SGP 4 is its emphasis on sustainability and resource efficiency, a crucial consideration in land- and water-scarce Singapore. The facility was awarded the prestigious BCA-IMDA Green Mark (Platinum) Award for New Data Centres and the LEED Gold Award, demonstrating its energy-efficient design. Its advanced cooling system utilizes a combination of air-cooled and water-cooled technologies, incorporating redundant water sources, including Singapore's highly recycled NEWater, to reduce reliance on conventional potable water sources. This dedication to efficiency helps clients manage their operational costs while aligning with their own environmental goals.
With a gross power capacity of 5.0 MW and offering diverse connectivity options, including direct connections to major cloud service providers (Cloud Connect) and various carrier choices (being carrier-neutral), KDC SGP 4 serves as a vital platform for companies expanding their digital footprint in the Asia Pacific. The facility's high standards of security, operational excellence, and commitment to environmental performance exemplify the quality of infrastructure expected in a Tier 1 global data center hub.
