- Scoundreller 3y agoIs it because it costs the operator a lot to run one or because they can charge a lot? (I guess over time those should converge, but sometimes takes a while or doesn’t)
- latchkey 3y agoAll of the above. Space/Power/Staff is just more expensive there. We also had a lot of trouble because a couple of our Dell servers had issues and it took some time to figure out how to get them repaired. There was just a lack of urgency there too.
- c_o_n_v_e_x 3y agoComparatively speaking, I would expect SG DC staff to be lower cost than western countries. Power is the killer, and it's doubly bad. Not only is it expensive, you're using a lot of power to keep things cool given ambient temp fluctuates typically between 24-33C, 60%-90%Rh 24/7. There was a moratorium on new DC builds in Singapore, so there's also a huge demand/premium on rack space in SG.
