Web hosting customers in Southeast Asia requiring high-bandwidth services - in the 10 terabyte neighborhood - now have another industry leader within grasp.
100TB.com has expanded its network facilities in the region through a partnership with SoftLayer, which owns and operates a world-class data center in Singapore.
New clients will enjoy a hefty 50 percent discount off the first month when selecting a server in the new Singapore facility.
Thomas Hancock, Managing Director, 100TB.com is excited to add a new service location to the existing markets in North America and Europe: "The addition of our new data center in Singapore demonstrates our commitment in making high bandwidth (Web) hosting solutions available to every corner of the market. We are confident that 100TB.com will flourish in Singapore and provide new and existing clients a competitive edge and more opportunities to grow.”
New customers have the added benefit of the company's recently developed on-demand automated platform, which significantly increases the speed of deployment on all servers. Servers can be deployed in minutes, or in 1-2 hours if advanced customization is required.
Hancock, notes that the technology sector in Singapore has grown substantially over the past several years, making it an ideal location for high-tech companies like 100TB.com to set up camp.
