Keppel DC Singapore 1 takes DXC to court for $14.8m

The suit pertained to DXC's failure to pay for colocation services.

Keppel DC REIT announced its facility manager, Keppel DC Singapore 1 (KDC), has commenced a suit in the High Court of Singapore against DXC Technologies. The former claimed DXC failed to pay in connection to colocation services at 25 Serangoon North Avenue 5 data centre.

Under the lease and facilities management arrangement between Keppel DC REIT and KDC, a portion of KDC's revenue from the management of the facility, such as the revenue generated from colocation services provided to customers like DXC, is payable to Keppel DC REIT. The amount being disputed is approximately $14.8m for the four years between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2025.

Whilst KDC, together with Keppel DC REIT and DXC, have engaged in various commercial discussions and mediation, the parties have not been able to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution.
