    DATA centres in the region could soon raise their operating temperatures safely as Singapore launches a standard for optimising energy efficiency in tropical climates.

    Senior Minister of State, Communications and Information Janil Puthucheary announced the new standard at the ATxEnterprise segment of the Asia Tech x Singapore summit on Thursday (Jun 8).

    He said that the standards are the first of their kind in the world, and will support the growth of compute capacity while ensuring environmental sustainability.
