The company also had close to 13 global cloud ‎labs, out of them seven are presently based in Asia Pacific, in widely dispersed countries ‎like China, India, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore.‎

The new data center to be inaugurated in April, would make use of IBM’s cloud delivery ‎infrastructure to provide IBM’s comprehensive cloud services and technology portfolio ‎services. ‎These services would provide clients increased flexibility as well as agility, accelerate their time ‎to market, minimize costs, and provide better security and compliance of public cloud ‎environments.‎

The company’s investment in their Asia Pacific Cloud Computing Data Centre in ‎Singapore showcases the ever increasing demand for cloud solutions and services by ‎clients in the region. The Centre is capable of providing the best security standards and ‎capabilities to lower capital related expenditure and also reduce operational cost ‎burden.‎
