Report Synopsis

In deciding where to locate data centres in Asia, or to outsource services offered by third party data centres, this new report is the first to address the key cities covering Greater China. The Philippines is also included in this study due to its geographic proximity.

This survey covers the most important players across 150 data centres across China (Guangzhou and Shanghai), Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Philippines. The survey does not include data centres spread widely across other cities in China. Profiles and analysis for each player provide an up to date assessment of their data centre assets, locations and future plans.

While users and investors consider a wide range of factors in making their investment or leasing decisions the report aims to provide a picture of the critical issues. Power is addressed and suggests that both Shanghai and Taiwan offer competitive rates.

Although differing in stages of market maturity, a level of confidence reigns across the companies addressed in this new report, with data centre expansion and inward investment responding to increased demand and driving growth.

Each city market is varied in character, deploying unique strategies to respond to demand for data centre and cloud facilities. In Taiwan, the largest market in this report by space – with FarEastTone the largest player in the markets covered by space. Hong Kong remains the largest by density of players. New data centre development in China is more often the result of overseas partnerships with one of the three main telcos who control the lion’s share of the market, and network access, although hosting specialists are now emerging. Large-scale data centres are being built primarily in Shanghai and Guangzhou.

The region remains fertile ground for data centre investment and International firms such as AT&T, Tata Telecommunications and Reliance Globalcom have already established positions, as have global content providers including Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! Pacnet has recently announced a significant data centre investment linking its landing stations across Asia.

The report suggests a regional play is now emerging which will alter the structure of ownership and competition over the next few years.
