New S$240m OCBC data fortress comes with blast-proof walls

Singapore

IT may not be Fort Knox, but OCBC Bank's S$240 million new regional data centre comes with blast-resistant walls and full back-up power that kicks in when the external supply is cut.

The six-storey facility - designed and customised to serve all entities in the OCBC group for the next 30 years - is a purpose-built centre developed and owned by the bank and has been operational since the third quarter of last year.
