The development of a DCP in Singapore will strengthen Singapore's position as an economic hub by attracting MNCs and enterprises to set up their HQ and premium DC operations here. It will also help to entrench Singapore as an infocomm and media hub by having more premium DCs such as banks and Telco carriers located here. Such DC infrastructure will attract world-class Internet and media companies to host their content and services in Singapore, thus attracting more Internet traffic and international network providers. Ultimately, this will enhance Singapore's global connectivity and competitiveness.
One of the important aspects for DCP's infrastructure is to ensure that there is reliability and resiliency built into its telecommunications design, both within the park and the connectivity outside of DCP.
The aim of this RFC is to gather information for which the connectivity infrastructure for DCP can be best developed.
In conceptualising the connectivity infrastructure, IDA will like respondents to specifically provide comments on the following:
a. Technical specifications
b. Ownership and operating structure, and
c. Business model of both internal and external connectivity for the DCP
IDA intends to use the responses to the RFC to draw up detailed specifications, operating and business terms in the RFP for DCP. Subsequent to the close of RFC, IDA may:
a. Engage in further discussions and clarifications with the respondent; and
b. Proceed to issue an open call for Request for Proposals (RFP).
Respondents are also welcomed to provide additional proprietary or general information beyond the scope of RFC e.g. specific terms and conditions for both internal and external connectivity provisions of DCP, which is relevant and useful for RFP.
Submissions should be made in hard copy (1 set) and soft copy (1 set) in Word format by 1200 hrs (Singapore time) on 10 Feb 2012 (Friday).
The submission shall contain the following details:
a. Name of Company or Consortium
