Big Data Exchange (BDx), Asia-leading Pacific's data centre, colocation, and hybrid cloud solutions provider, is happy to announce that the company's global headquarters will be relocating to Singapore. With this move, the business intends to continue investing in the Singapore market by expanding its data centre offerings and energy efficiency.

Over the next year, BDx plans to triple its investments in the captive data centre and cloud managed services sector and increase its regional personnel in Singapore by 100%. BDx's senior leadership presence in Singapore will also increase from 20% to 90%, allowing firm executives to better understand Singapore's dynamic technology scene.

Known as a mini Silicon Valley and the second-largest data centre region globally, Singapore's Smart Nation initiative backed by the Government of Singapore sets the stage for digitisation across policy processes and urban environments. As a cloud infrastructure, emerging tech and data-driven powerhouse, Singapore is poised for further explosive growth as cloud adoption and digital requirements continue to increase.

With locations spanning APAC's most demanding markets, including Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Nanjing, and its new HQ of Singapore, this move represents BDx's commitment to expanding its global footprint while focusing on one of the world's strongest economic and political landscapes. In addition, as Singapore looks to implement increasingly higher standards for sustainability and restarts data centre development, BDx is dedicated to applying its expertise and solutions in sustainable construction, tracking, and management to better the market.

"As BDx continues to expand, we selected Singapore as our new global headquarters to tap into the island-state's excellent infrastructure, support of digitally focused projects and critical agencies, along with its unrivaled global connectivity through a multitude of international undersea cables and Next Generation National Broadband Network (NGNBN)," said Braham Singh, CEO of BDx. "Singapore's vibrant ecosystem, stability, and highly skilled tech talent pool align with our goals and values as we navigate our rapid growth trajectory across Singapore and other key and emerging regions."

BDx's strategic relocation of its headquarters to Singapore comes on the heels of a string of Singapore-focused announcements, including:

• The launch of 360°View, a groundbreaking data centre agnostic platform delivering critical carbon tracking and hybrid environment monitoring 

• Partnership with Sembcorp and the National University of Singapore to develop proof-of-concept and pave the way for offshore data centres to address Singapore's land scarcity and energy efficiency challenges

BDx has established itself as an award-winning technology and data centre partner known for its colocation services and solutions portfolio, backed by private equity firm I Squared Capital. The company's SIN1 data centre in Singapore, which it bought from Telstra, develops and manages IT infrastructure in scalable environments for global corporations, OTTs, and hyperscalers.

Since 2020, BDx has operated a data centre facility in Singapore. Its Singapore headquarters, branded as #BDxperts, will open in April 2022 and will house the company's inventive personnel and leadership team.
