Organisations today face unprecedented uncertainty while trying to manage familiar challenges: exponential data growth and escalating cyberthreats, while maintaining zero downtime expectations under relentless pressure to do more with less, said Dell Technologies. Dell's PowerStore storage platform can address those challenges while turning data into a strategic advantage. A new release introduces innovations in storage density, cybersecurity, and operational simplicity that tackle the challenges head-on, providing organisations with tools to take control in an unpredictable world. PowerStore’s new Q 30 TB quad-level cell (QLC) flash models lower upfront costs and deliver significant long-term power and space savings without sacrificing performance or reliability. Businesses can now store up to 2 PB of data in 2U* of rack space, doubling the capacity per rack unit and improving power efficiency by up to 23%**. PowerStore’s always-on cybersecurity makes it easy to create a robust ...

HTX (Home Team Science and Technology Agency) and Singtel have renewed and expanded an existing Strategic Partnership for Innovation (SPI) Master Agreement, deepening their technological collaboration to strengthen Singapore’s public safety capabilities. Under the five-year agreement, two Singtel Group companies, Singtel Singapore and Digital InfraCo, will work closely with HTX to enhance the resilience, performance and security of Home Team systems through the development of next-generation technologies, including AI communications technology, network services and cybersecurity. HTX and Singtel share a strong commitment towards harnessing innovation to support Singapore’s public safety mission. As part of their collaboration, HTX co-developed and deployed network slicing capabilities with Singtel Singapore to minimise the impact of network congestion on Home Team officers during major operations and events. Moving forward, the Singtel Group will support HTX in optimising its network...

Singapore businesses are actively adopting AI, but growing data complexity and security challenges risk undermining long-term returns, according to new research from Hitachi Vantara, the data storage, infrastructure and hybrid cloud management subsidiary of Hitachi. The findings are drawn from the Hitachi Vantara State of Data Infrastructure 2025 Report*, a global study examining how organisations are preparing their data infrastructure to support AI at scale. In Singapore, the study captured perspectives from senior business and technology leaders responsible for data infrastructure, cybersecurity, and AI strategy, providing insight into how local enterprises are navigating AI adoption, data complexity, and security risks in an increasingly digital and regulated environment. The research indicates that Singapore firms are widely using AI, with nearly all (96%) local respondents reporting some level of AI use. Two-thirds say they have been successful using AI. However, confid...

For decades, maritime passenger terminals have been engineered primarily as physical infrastructure – piers, halls, counters, and queues – designed to move people and vessels safely from shore to sea, and vice versa. Today, that paradigm is shifting. As passenger expectations rise and operational constraints tighten, the future of cruise and ferry terminals will be defined not by concrete and steel alone, but by data, integration, automation, and intelligence. The Singapore Cruise Centre (SCCPL) is nearing the final phase of a five-year digital transformation journey to modernise its terminals and operations. A clear imperative drives this transformation: to deliver seamless, end-to-end passenger experiences while managing rising manpower costs, limited berth capacity, and increasing operational complexity. More broadly, it reflects the growing need to digitalise the maritime passenger sector, an industry that must now operate with the same precision, responsiveness, and situational ...
