Background:

Singtel Group’s data centre subsidiary Nxera has launched DC Tuas, a new multi-tenanted data centre designed to support high-density computing and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads in Singapore.

The facility targets customers running compute-intensive applications, including large-scale AI and data processing tasks. According to Nxera, DC Tuas has been built to handle rising demand for high-performance computing in a market where data centre capacity remains limited.

DC Tuas features advanced thermal and electrical systems to improve efficiency and reliability. These include smart thermal management, high-efficiency electrical infrastructure, and direct-to-chip liquid cooling, which allows servers to operate at higher power densities while managing heat more effectively. The design helps optimise performance in Singapore’s hot and humid climate.

The data centre focuses on sustainability. It uses solar power, rainwater harvesting, and water reuse systems to cut its environmental impact. Nxera said these measures enable the facility to achieve a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.25, reflecting efficient energy use compared to traditional data centres.

Nxera Chief Executive Officer Bill Chang said the ability to handle high-density AI workloads efficiently is critical as demand for computing power continues to rise. He noted that Singapore’s limited space and capacity make efficiency a key factor in future data centre development.

“As Singapore’s highest power-density, most energy-efficient and largest liquid-cooled multi-tenanted data centre, DC Tuas reinforces the country’s position as a global AI hub and supports accelerating AI adoption,” Chang said.

Enterprises across industries are investing more in AI, creating a need for advanced data centre infrastructure. With its focus on efficiency, sustainability, and high-performance computing, DC Tuas will support Singapore’s growing AI ecosystem and boost regional digital growth.
