Expedite Your Asian Expansion with the Right Network

In years past, if you wanted to grow your business into a new region, you would have to establish an entirely new network from scratch. After shelling out a small fortune on clunky legacy hardware, your IT team would spend endless weeks setting everything up, followed by years of costly maintenance and upgrades. These traditional systems were highly siloed and couldn’t be scaled as fast as your company’s ambitions. The pandemic amplified the need for a new way of doing business, as companies tackled everything from supply-chain disruptions to upticks in remote working.

As a result, savvy companies entering the high-tech Asian market now look toward strategies to build digital resiliency. With the right network approach, an enterprise can harness the flexibility and agility that digitalization can offer.

But Asia is a dynamic region, and implementing sound network infrastructure that can support digital transformation strategies here can be complicated for those new to the market. Networking offerings differ greatly from country to country, and a lack of high-speed connections in remote areas can limit a company’s reach. Without a dependable, centralized system, a business might experience slow and messy setups as they expand across borders. And a patchwork of different network infrastructures can be a headache to manage.

Not all continent-spanning solutions are built the same. And not all providers offer the full array of superior services that businesses require. The right provider must have a portfolio of the latest software-defined services, along with the data centers and IP transit to keep your company connected around the world. Your network partner must be globally proven, but have the deep regional knowledge to help you navigate complex regulatory environments. And they must provide an optimized SLA and 24/7 customer support for your full peace of mind.

That provider is Singtel. Born and bred in Singapore, they provide customers with the right APAC connection. Years of experience have enabled Singtel to lead the way to design, deliver, and manage customer networks tailored to specific needs.

As a leading global provider with regional expertise, Singtel gives multinational companies a fuss-free gateway into the continent. Its extensive suite of cutting-edge products provides new entrants with the fast, secure, and resilient infrastructure they need to easily scale their businesses. The cloud-ready network specialist offers direct, secure, and consistent cloud linkages – including private-cloud connections to top providers in 30 cities, and public-cloud connections with over 200 global partners.

With 10 APAC-based data centers connected to multiple clouds, and 50+ international partner data centers, Singtel can quickly get your network up and running. Singtel’s data-centers are well-connected to flexible and scalable network infrastructure, allowing you to tweak your usage according to changing business needs. This also guards against latency and lag with rapidly deployable cloud-bursting capacity during peak periods of high-volume usage.

If your company runs on the cloud, your Asian customers and employees will demand fast connections. In such a heterogeneous region, insufficient hardware, network congestion, long distances between servers and users, and poorly routed connections can all hamper your network as you grow into new territories.

Through its carrier-grade, high-performing IP transit service, Singtel can support all your high-bandwidth enterprise requirements. Direct peering and transit connections are facilitated by 900Gbps of worldwide backbone capacity and the region’s most extensive submarine cable network. You can thus securely traffic large volumes of data at incredibly fast speeds, even in remote areas.

As you grow into far-flung regions, your network will become increasingly complex, making it difficult to manage each location. This can result in decreased control and increased inefficiency. Singtel’s SD-WAN solutions empower you to take full charge of all your regional offices. Centralized end-to-end management across networking, cloud, and security functions minimizes complexity and enables rapid and frictionless deployment across branches. And with complete network visibility via a single dashboard, you can monitor and troubleshoot with ease.

Singtel has the right designs and solutions, the right infrastructure, and the right operations, people, and skills. Its suite of network services provides global companies with the tech they need to confidently expand across Asia. Designed to simplify network complexity, these offerings ensure digital resiliency in the face of change. They embody the latest trends in multi-cloud innovation. And they open the gates to the world’s most alluring market.
