DBS launches cloud-based data centre

It will reduce costs to run the old data centre by 75%.

DBS Bank partnered with data centre provider Equinix to transform its traditional data centre into a cloud-optimised one.

According to a press release, this will allow the bank to move its main data centre to significantly smaller premises. The bank said this will make the new centre 75% cheaper to run.

DBS said it has been migrating to cloud-optimised technology in recent years, resulting in huge efficiency savings while increasing storage and computing capacity by 7x since 2014.

The bank said its compute workloads have doubled in the last three years and are still expected to grow.

It previously announced that it would shift 50% of its compute workload to the public cloud by 2018. It previously launched partnerships with Amazon Web Services and Pivotal Cloud Foundry for cloud-related services.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
