Facebook announces first Asian data center, in Singapore

This week, the Silicon Valley social networking giant announced that it is spending more than $1 billion US (1.4 billion Singapore dollars) building its first custom data centre on the continent, in Singapore.

The facility will be Facebook’s 15th data centre, and will be completely powered by renewable energy — in keeping with the company’s pledge to be powered 100% by renewable energy by 2020.
