Big Data Exchange (BDx), the fastest-growing carrier-neutral data centre platform in Asia-Pacific, has announced its plan to develop a new 16MW facility in the upcoming high-tech industrial area being developed by Sino Group, a leading property developer in Hong Kong.
BDx is aiming to get the hyperscale-ready data centre, HKG8, operational by the end of 2023.
This is BDx’s fourth data centre in Hong Kong and will be located in the heart of the Kwai Chung District, which is rapidly transforming into a highly sought-after industrial and commercial zone.
The data centre is strategically located 5km from the nearest port and 26km rom the Hong Kong airport. It will offer redundant power supply and reliable infrastructure to BDx’s hyperscale and enterprise customers, ensuring the highest levels of fail-safe resiliency, super-dense connectivity and IX ecosystems which are hallmarks of BDx data centres.
“BDx is pleased to announce our new data centre to further our commitment to the Hong Kong market. We are pleased to work with Sino Group to develop our next-generation, hyperscale-ready site, which is designed with fail-safe features and a clear focus on sustainability. We continue to support Hong Kong as The Digital Hub of APAC,” said Mayank Srivastava, CEO of BDx.
“With HKG8, our newest data centre in Hong Kong, we continue to expand our footprint across Asia with sustainable, high-quality sites. We are proud to offer our customers dense connectivity, IX ecosystems and reliable redundant options, to drive digital delivery and growth.”
According to a recent report from Arizton Advisory and Intelligence, the size of the Hong Kong data centre market is expected to reach nearly US$4 billion by 2027, as data centre investments continue to grow.
Hong Kong is one of the largest digital hubs in the Asia-Pacific region due to the strong adoption of cloud technologies, its Smart City development initiative and a dedicated focus by its government on the expansion of the ICT market.
