概览
TM ONE 的目标是让私营和国营机构充分认识到他们的数字机遇。In line with its mother brand, Telekom Malaysia’s mantra of “Life Made Easier,” TM ONE illustrates the commitment to offering the best converged solutions and services to customers.
TM ONE is developing various innovative products and solutions on top of the core infrastructure as a means of accelerating convergence, with the goal of becoming the number one digital enabler for customers. The key lever to accomplish this goal is verticalisation throughout 2018-2020.
The first step in the verticalisation approach was the completion of the Experience Centre at Menara TM ONE, with this highly anticipated Experience Centre designed with state-of-the-art technologies to showcase a number of vertical solutions for customers. At 20,000 square feet, the Centre aims to help customers envision the future of their digital business transformation through inspirational, visionary and co-creational experiences. Customers can see new experiences and better understand the value that TM ONE brings as a trusted partner for both enterprises and public agencies throughout Malaysia.
The 20,000 square foot Uptime Institute Tier III certified data centre is built in Nusajaya Tech Park, Johor, the flagship technology park in Iskandar Malaysia. The Iskandar Puteri Data Centre (IPDC) is one of two major facilities planned by TM ONE to meet anticipated growth in data and hosting requirements. The carrier-neutral data centre will also house TM ONE’s international gateway that serves as a regional hub in providing services like end-to-end managed ICT services, BPO services, cloud services via digital marketplace and high-speed connectivity.
The IPDC, in tandem with the Klang Valley core data centre currently under construction and slated for a 2018 年 11 月 completion, is part of the company’s “twin core” strategy. Located 320 km apart, the two facilities will be linked with a fast fiber optic link to important business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities.
Both data centres will certified by Uptime Institute; IPDC is currently one of two such facilities to be awarded the Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility in Malaysia.
