Retarus is expanding its data centre in Singapore to provide its growing customer base with even better performance. The global provider of messaging services will use the data centre to provide a direct connection for its Cloud Fax Services to local carriers and Internet service providers.

The move allows Asia Pacific (APAC) region customers to benefit from significantly lower latency times than would be possible than operating from data centres in Europe or the US. All data will be processed locally in accordance with the applicable regulations and data privacy requirements.

Retarus’ Singapore data centre is located in a separate and secure section on the Singapore campus of a leading international colocation provider and fulfills the highest standards for energy efficiency. Retarus exclusively uses and operates its own equipment, which it operates itself. In order to achieve the ultimate levels of security for sensitive data, the company relies on a multilevel physical security concept. The data centre is also equipped with a failsafe power supply.

Retarus also said that it has enlarged its local sales, service and technology team, by 50% this year. “Increasing our headcount allows us to focus more closely on the needs of local businesses,” said Oliver Prevrhal, MD, Retarus Asia.

“Through the ongoing growth of our Global Delivery Network, we also open up the Asian market for European and American companies with international sites. In this way, companies including banks, insurers, healthcare and manufacturing companies with local sites or subsidiaries, where security of data is of utmost priority, can benefit from the remarkably reliable and speedy performance of Retarus’ services as well as the ultimate in service quality. The local processing of data enables businesses to comply with local auditing requirements and regulations, while ensuring that the transmitted data is kept secure at all times.”
