SCS launches mobile business continuity facility for Singapore

Singapore Computer Systems Limited (SCS), an information and communications technology service provider in Asia, has unveiled ‘Mobicon’, a portable ‘business continuity office’ housed within a standard stackable shipping container.

iMobicon contains workstations for up to ten people and is equipped with its own mobile toilet and diesel generator. iMobicon can be mounted on a trailer and moved anywhere within Singapore. Although there are portable data centres and mobile offices housed within trucks in some parts of the world, this mobile business continuity office within a shipping container is thought to be the first-of-its-kind.

Commenting on the technology and security features of iMobicon, Mr Wong Tew Kiat, senior manager, Business Continuity, said: “iMobicon is connected to the Internet via a wireless link and is able to tap into Wi-Fi networks. Physical and network security is our top priority, and we have implemented state-of-the-art security features and monitoring tools in iMobicon to ensure that security is not compromised.”

The first iMobicon is now ready for viewing – see www.scs.com.sg for more details.
