iTWire – AirTrunk develops second data centre in Hong Kong

[ad_1]

Hyperscale data centre specialist AirTrunk is planning to develop its second data centre in Hong Kong to support demand for critical digital infrastructure in the region.

Named AirTrunk HKG2 (HKG2), the data centre will be scalable to over 15 megawatts (MW) and located in a cloud availability zone in East New Territories. Initial capacity is expected to be delivered to the anchor tenant in mid-2024.

HKG2 complements HKG1 which opened in late 2020. HKG2 adds AirTrunk’s capacity to more than 35MW in Hong Kong.

The facility will become the 10th data centre in AirTrunk’s APJ platform that also includes data centres in Australia, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia.




Collectively, the platform will offer almost 1.38 gigawatts (GW) across the region.

“As a key international business hub, Hong Kong has ambitions to accelerate the development of a digital economy. Combined with the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), there is huge demand for cloud services and the supporting critical digital infrastructure. HKG2 will play an important role in responding to this demand,” said AirTrunk deputy CEO Michael Juniper.

AirTrunk says HKG2 meets the stringent security requirements of global technology customers (PCI DSS, ISO27001, SOC2 Type 2).

Close to key data centres and Hong Kong’s connectivity hub, HKG2 will enable international connectivity with direct and low latency access to Greater China and neighbouring Northeast Asian countries.

“The development of HKG2 will bring significant benefits to the Hong Kong economy, including the creation of new jobs, enablement of public cloud, sustainable innovation as well as community contributions,” said AirTrunk head of Hong Kong KC Li.
