KEPPEL Data Centres Pte Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC).

Under the MOU, Keppel Data Centres and the NSCC intend to explore potential collaboration in areas of supercomputing and high-performance computing, InfiniBand connectivity, networking and scientific software applications, green technology for data centres and related areas.

"With the possibility of integrating our data centres as a supercomputing node, clients colocating with Keppel Data Centres may have the opportunity to tap the NSCC's high-performance computing resources.

The facility will be its second largest data centre in Singapore after Keppel Digihub, and will be developed to Tier 3, carrier-neutral specifications.
