StarHub has launched the Low Latency Data Centre Connect secure on-demand connectivity service for local and regional enterprises.
Available across multiple data centres, the service provides businesses with seamless interconnection, enhanced access to cloud services and applications, network slicing and quantum secure communications. This improves customer and user experiences, reduces cost, and increases operational efficiency.
“The need for low latency data centre connectivity has never been more pronounced. Low latency for cloud services is crucial for real-time data processing, faster application responsiveness, and seamless user experiences, particularly in time-sensitive operations and interactive applications,” said Tan Kit Yong, Head of Enterprise Business Group, StarHub.
Low Latency Data Centre Connect features data centre interconnectivity with latency under 1ms to cable landing stations for lightning-fast communications; advanced SDN capabilities with an integrated self-service portal; cutting-edge security measures such as post-quantum safe communications for cloud connectivity, and protect sensitive data; and automated deployment and configuration across various systems and platforms.
In May, StarHub announced Low Latency Data Centre Connect in partnership with Global Switch. Following the deployment of the first point of presence (PoP), Global Switch customers in Singapore now has secure connectivity on-demand to a global network of key data centre ecosystems and submarine cable PoPs for seamless connectivity.
StarHub is expanding its network ecosystem with Ciena, Digital Realty, and Terrabit Networks. Leveraging Ciena’s 800G encryption on Waveserver 5, this expansion enables StarHub to connect multiple data centres with ultra-low latency connectivity to offer unparalleled access to cloud services and applications.
