Chinese data centre operator GDS sees Singapore as hub for its South-East Asia expansion plans


Last year, GDS acquired 10,000 square metres of land in Batam, an Indonesian city about 25km from Singapore, where it will construct two new data centre buildings. South-East Asia’s Internet economy is projected to be valued at US$1 trillion in 2030, according to a report by Google, Temasek Holdings and Bain & Company. — SCMP

Data centre management company GDS is following in the footsteps of its Chinese tech customers by expanding operations to South-East Asia, while betting on Singapore as a regional data hub, according to its chairman and CEO.

Founded in 2001, the Nasdaq and Hong Kong-listed GDS is a third-party data centre operator serving clients such as Alibaba Group Holding, Tencent Holdings, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, as well as US cloud giant Amazon Web Services.
