Overview

What is Global Switch?

Global Switch operates two massive facilities in Singapore: Tai Seng and Woodlands. The Tai Seng facility is situated in the heart of Singapore's original data center cluster and serves as a critical connectivity gateway. The newer Singapore Woodlands facility is a state-of-the-art data center located in the north, physically separated to offer dual-site redundancy.

Infrastructure: The Woodlands facility provides 25,000 square meters of space and is supported by 30MVA of utility power. It is designed to Tier III+ standards and has achieved LEED Gold and BCA Green Mark Platinum certifications. The facility uses high-efficiency water-cooled chillers and is designed for a PUE of 1.34.

Connectivity & Strategy: Global Switch is renowned for its carrier neutrality, hosting a dense concentration of telecommunication carriers and ISPs. The Tai Seng facility is particularly rich in connectivity, housing direct access to multiple international subsea cable systems. They target large-scale enterprises and financial institutions requiring bespoke data suites and cages.

Coefficient Applied

This hosting provider's website did not return full HTML content due to bot protection. HTML size was measured as 79KB (under 100KB). Since reliable "Time to 1MB" data could not be obtained, a +62ms coefficient was applied to maintain ranking fairness.

Coefficient Calculation Formula
penalty = (100 - 79) × 2 = +62ms
