Why we think our newest location is awesome
Singapore's name comes from 'Singa Pura' which means Lion City in Sanskrit. Once a British colonial trading post, today Singapore is a thriving global financial hub and described as one of Asia's economic "tigers". What do you know, Singapore is quite the "beast"!
Singapore is a particularly well connected region, allowing local users to significantly reduce their latency time. If majority of user users are connecting from the asian region, spare them the stress and the anger, that is caused by slow loading websites. You can deploy your service in our Singapore Location today! Don't keep the Merlion waiting.

Better grab the limited discount coupon codes fast. The prices are very competitive after discount and that's not even considering how prem Nexus Bytes is.

SG's bandwidth pricing makes it tough for storage. I can live with Europe and NA for storage even though I am in Singapore.

Congratulations on the launch, and a very happy birthday @seriesn!
Also, just snagged a 4G VM with all the goodies at SG. Time to move my RDP next door
Ah, thanks for the insight!
Does that mean that bandwidth is cheaper for you when you get your data from NA or Europe rather than to a SG storage machine?
Congrats on the expansion boss!
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
The latency will be so low and the experience so much better!

The bandwidth for residents in SG is not an issue. The issue is that DCs in Singapore charge much higher than NA and European providers for bandwidth. Cold storage might be ok, but if you are doing hot storage and frequently accessing large amounts of data, the DC bandwidth cost either kills the provider or kills your pocket. I personally would do storage in cheaper Asian optimized locations such as LA and only put stuff that is latency sensitive on an SG node.

@poisson thanks for the insight! Very cool
One would think DCs connected to local IXes would make it cheaper, so that's very interesting.
Maybe things may change in future, but as of now (and the near future) bandwidth in Asia is generally much more expensive than NA or Europe. This is why you generally see much lower bandwidth offerings on SG locations by most providers here compared to other locations at the same price point.

Curious, why Asia has higher bandwidth cost than EU/NA?
Is it higher real estate price, higher cost of laying fiber, or just someone higher up lining their pockets?
The all seeing eye sees everything...
Primarily due to lack of undersea cables and limited capacity in that specific region, compared to the Atlantic region, for example.

Who else found the Easter Egg in the Singapore KVM Plans? @seriesn
blog | exploring visually |
What easter egg?
Cannot speak for reast of Asia (High Real estate prices is a common factor) but here is the situation from India:
Had a long discussion over the weekend with a consultant for data centers.
a. Infrastructure:
Grid power costs are very high. This person is advising a developer who wants to set up a DC near an airport. The cost of laying electrical cable, substation, etc. are to be borne by the developer, but with NO guarantee to adhere to SLAs on part of the grid company. So, secondary and tertiary power supply is a must. With generator backup comes additional bureaucratic costs of licensing, ten different permits and so on. For this project, electrical capex cost is @ 20 Mn USD. Add to that server, building costs, cooling and data... How will you get the ROI in that case? Another issue is water. Because of political reasons, almost all airports are in dry belts. Pumping, transporting water is an issue.
b. Fiber network
I have asked this question several times over the years "why not build DCs in the Himalayas?" Lower temps (alpine climate) , cheap hydro power, but active seismic zone. Disregarding the last for now, the common answer is "Who will lay the cable on top of mountain?"
My pushback was - maybe incorrectly- why not set up a DC there with cheaper servers, where the primary function will be data archive, or storage, rather than high frequency transactions like financial services or e-commerce?
c. Developers' mentality
This is the biggest hurdle. A lot of developers are so invested in "build offices in urban areas/ build warehousing near cities" model, that they are offering similar sites for the DCs. That raises the costs significantly. For any newer model they will want financial subsidy since the IRRs will be in single digits, makign the projects commercially unviable.
According to this consultant I spoke to , visit to one of the earliest sits for AWS in Mumbai suburbs is nothing short of a religious experience

@seriesn thank you for the video, I actually learned something today. Could never figure out why My Little Mermaid ended up being crossed with The Lion King, but now I know
dont worry, it was taken
