This is Google’s fourth data centre in Singapore, one of 11 countries where it currently has data centres.

SINGAPORE - Google has increased its investment in infrastructure in Singapore to US$5 billion with the completion of its fourth data centre here.This was announced on June 3 during an event at Google’s office in Mapletree Business City II in Pasir Panjang.

“But with our energy and carbon constraints, this growth of capacity can only be realised if we can make the data centres more sustainable,” said Dr Janil, who attended the event on June 3. Senior Minister of State for Communications and Information Janil Puthucheary said Singapore is committed to growing the data centre sector to be more sustainable. ST PHOTO: HESTER TAN

Mr Ken Siah, the Asia-Pacific head of public affairs for Google data centres, said innovations in areas such as facility design and hardware have allowed for the creation of supercomputers, which can operate at higher temperatures, thus requiring less energy for cooling. Mr Siah noted that recycled water is also used to cool Google’s data centres here because of Singapore’s hot weather – a move that reduces carbon emissions by 10 per cent compared with air cooling.
