📅 - Asian telecom SingTel (singtel.com) today rolled out EXPAN, its suite of managed hosting services, in key markets across Asia.
The company says its EXPAN system will enable multinationals, Application Service Providers (ASPs) Internet-related businesses in the Singapre region to outsource their entire communications networks and hosting needs to SingTel. It will be available in SingTel's Internet Data Centres (IDCs) in the region.
The EXPAN suite of services include system administration and maintenance, security services, data administration, performance monitoring and fault management, problem resolution and technical support.
SingTel has partnered with companies such as BMC Software, Cisco Systems, EMC, Hewlett-Packard, National Computer Systems, Oracle Corporation Singapore and Sun Microsystems to provide the equipment, software solutions and expertise to support the provision of these services.
SingTel will invest $500 million by 2002 to establish a network of Internet Data Centres in major cities throughout Asia. The first of these IDCs are located in Singapore, Osaka in Japan, Shatin in Hong Kong and Sydney in Australia. This will be followed by Taiwan and Korea and second IDCs in Japan (Tokyo), Hong Kong (Tsuenwan) and Australia (Sydney) by November this year. SingTel will also work with its associated companies to set up IDCs in the Philippines, Thailand and India by early 2002. There are also plans to set up data centres in China and Malaysia next year.
