Digital Realty, a leading global provider of data centre solutions, has partnered with BW Digital to enhance cross-border connectivity between Singapore and Batam, Indonesia. This collaboration involves the integration of BW Digital’s Nongsa Changi Cable System (NCC) with Digital Realty’s SIN12 data centre, aiming to support the growing demand for AI and digital transformation in the region.
The partnership will see the direct landing of the NCC submarine cable into Digital Realty’s SIN12 facility, significantly boosting network resilience and capacity. This enhanced interconnection is expected to facilitate faster and more reliable data exchange, crucial for enterprises expanding across Southeast Asia. The NCC is designed to deliver over 1.6 petabits per second of new capacity with less than 2 milliseconds latency to Singapore, making it a strategic hub for hyperscale and AI infrastructure.
Digital Realty’s Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Serene Nah, highlighted the importance of subsea networks in the region’s digital economy, stating, “By integrating BW Digital’s Nongsa–Changi system into SIN12, we are working to deliver faster and more resilient connectivity to support customers as they scale next-generation workloads.”
BW Digital’s Chief Business Officer, Virginie Frouin, emphasised the partnership’s role in bridging the gap between submarine cable infrastructure and land-based digital platforms, aiming to provide reliable and secure connectivity.
