Zoom Video Communications announced on Tuesday that they have set up a new data center in Singapore, which is the company’s first data center in Southeast Asia .
After establishing a new data center in Singapore, Zoom has 18 data centers worldwide. The Singapore data center will provide services to users from Southeast Asia.
The company also plans to recruit more employees in Singapore and expand the size of its Singapore team. Abe Smith, head of Zoom’s international business, said the positions they plan to recruit include engineers and sales staff.
Affected by the epidemic, people in many parts of the world work remotely from home. Therefore, during the epidemic, the video conferencing service provided by Zoom has been welcomed by people, and the company has quickly gained a large number of users. However, while the number of users has soared, the company has also encountered concerns about its privacy and security.
Smith said that since January this year, the number of users of Zoom’s free service in Singapore has increased by 64 times, and the number of paying users has increased by 2 times. Since March, 400 schools in Singapore are using the platform.
In April of this year, Singapore temporarily banned teachers from using Zoom to teach students because of some “very serious incidents” during the first week of the new crown virus lockdown, including the appearance of obscene images on the screen in the geography class.
