Nxera, Singtel Group’s regional data centre arm, opened DC Tuas, its largest, next-generation, most energy efficient and multi-tenanted data centre. This expands Nxera’s capacity in Singapore to meet accelerating demand for AI, cloud and high-performance computing workloads from enterprises and hyperscalers. With 58 MW of AI-ready capacity, DC Tuas is Singapore’s highest power-density data centre and increases Nxera’s total data centre capacity in the country to 120 MW. More than 90% of its capacity was committed to customers even before the launch. DC Tuas supports the higher rack densities required by next-generation AI workloads. As a carrier-neutral, multi-tenanted data centre, DC Tuas hosts Singapore’s largest direct-to-chip liquid cooling deployment, enabling customers to deploy the new generation of AI infrastructure efficiently and at scale. This advanced cooling capability enhances heat extraction while reducing energy and water consumption compared to conventional cooling ...
