G-Core Labs, the international provider of cloud and edge solutions based in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is continuing to develop the Asian segment of its global infrastructure and has announced the opening of a point-of-presence in Singapore.

The location offers customers secured dedicated and virtual servers, as well as services for the fast delivery of content with an average response time of 30 ms (according to Citrix independent analytical system).

Being a recognised world economic centre, Singapore is actively developing internet infrastructure and communication networks: more than 93% of 5.8 million residents here regularly go online, and in terms of speed of fixed and mobile internet, the city-state takes the 1st and 2nd places in the world respectively (approx. 191 Mbps and 61 Mbps). Singaporeans actively watch videos, communicate in social networks, buy online, including food, electronics and beauty products. The new G-Core Labs location will be in demand both in Singapore itself and in neighbouring China, as well as among Asian, European and American companies seeking to work effectively in the local and regional markets”, said Andre Reitenbach, G-Core Labs managing director.

The hosting and CDN point will be in demand among telecommunication and broadcasting companies, mass media, streaming services, developers and publishers of video games, online retail, cloud service providers, the banking sector and other companies.

The functionality of the automatic installation of the most popular operating systems (OS - Windows and Unix), installed when ordering the server, is provided in company’s dedicated and virtual servers. It significantly saves time for system deployment. Customers can also connect their own ISO image and install the necessary OS themselves. All G-Core Labs servers are protected from DDoS attacks using G-Core Labs unique technology for intelligent filtering of network traffic.

The dedicated servers of the company provide constant free access to their IPMI (intelligent platform management interface), which allows to quickly solve any issue with hosting in a remote format even in case of a emergency situation.

G-Core Labs CDN supports all necessary protocols, including HTTP/2 (by default), SSL and IPv6, and also provides flexible system configuration options: access through the API, opportunities to pre-load heavy files, to clear cache completely or selectively, to set and manage cache storing time, cache return, inheriting caching parameters, to ignore request parameters and cookies etc.
