Space DC

What Space DC does

SpaceDC (legally Space DC Pte Ltd) is a Singapore-headquartered data center operator founded in 2019 that builds, leases, and partners to deliver hyperscale, wholesale, and colocation capacity across Asia-Pacific. The company positions itself as a gateway into underserved Southeast Asian and Chinese digital markets, with a flagship directly-operated portfolio anchored by MNL1, a 72MW hyperscale campus under development in Cainta, Greater Manila (Philippines), and JAK1/JAK2 facilities in Jakarta, Indonesia (48MW+ capacity, Tier III certified, PCI DSS compliant). In China, SpaceDC has scaled its platform through distribution partnerships with Centrin Data (Kunshan 192MW, Wuhan 225MW — both Uptime Tier IV) and Aofei Data International (Guangzhou CAN2/CAN3, Langfang PKX2, Shenzhen SZX1), bringing total referenced capacity above 700MW across eight facilities in three countries.

The company's underlying technology stack centers on Tier III and Tier IV certified physical infrastructure, an 8-layer physical and digital security architecture, N+1 redundancy with 24-hour generator backup, carrier-neutral design featuring four Meet Me Rooms per facility, and PUE as low as 1.3 powered by 100% renewable energy at flagship sites (wind and geothermal in MNL1). SpaceDC is the first OCP (Open Compute Project) colocation solution provider in Asia and integrates on-demand connectivity to six major hyperscale cloud platforms (AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud) via Epsilon's Infiny NaaS, Console Connect, and direct cross-connects. Service delivery is organized into three core solutions (Colocation, Wholesale, Hyperscale) plus a set of value-added services (Remote Hands, Project Management, Data Center Migration, Office/Staging/De-packing Space, Pre-Engineering), supported by a customer self-service portal.

SpaceDC's revenue model is a mix of recurring subscription contracts (multi-year colocation, wholesale, and hyperscale leases) and ancillary professional services revenue (remote hands, migration, project management). Pricing is quote-based and tailored to each customer's space, power, support, and security requirements; the company does not publicly disclose pricing. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting hyperscale cloud providers, financial services, and mid-to-large enterprises in Southeast Asia, augmented by content marketing, industry events, and a partner channel that includes JLL (construction management for MNL1) and Indonesian ISPs for local connectivity. The company is privately held, has no disclosed parent or institutional investors, and operates with a lean team of 11-50 employees led by CEO Darren Hawkins, COO Carolyn Harrington, and EVP of Strategic Partnerships Jeffrey Tay.
