Big Data Exchange (BDx), a pan-Asian carrier-neutral data center cluster, has partnered with Cogent Communications in Singapore (SIN1) data center facility. Singapore boasts the highest megawatt per capita globally.
The high demand for colocation space makes data center availability hard to come by for new customers. SIN1 was acquired by BDx earlier this year, and is one of the facilities that is available to service new customers in Singapore. As a leading telecoms carrier, Cogent is available as a connectivity option to all BDx customers regardless of the type of colocation services they require, along with offering high standards of operations and support.
Sona Singh, Business Development Director at BDx told the media, “This new agreement with Cogent marks the beginning of a strategic partnership which we look forward to developing. We are proud that Cogent has chosen BDx to partner within the important Singapore market. Together, we offer an even wider range of services for our customers. We are pleased to welcome Cogent into our SIN1 facility and look forward to expanding our partnership in the near future.”
Cogent decided to establish a partnership with BDx because the latter provides the widest range of flexible, secure, on-demand connectivity options at each of its facilities. The SIN1 data center provides critical connectivity for customers seeking to expand into the Southeast Asian market. Cogent is one of the largest Tier 1 IP providers globally, and has selected BDx due to its state-of-the-art operations and customer support.
