NTT Com Launches New Hong Kong Data Center To Boost Digital Transformation

(RTTNews) - NTT Communications Corp., the global data and IP services arm of telecom company NTT (NTT), announced Wednesday the opening of its Tier IV ready1FDC2 - the second phase of its Hong Kong Financial Data Center.

FDC2 marks the completion of the HK$ 4 billion purpose-built data center complex offering a total of 7000+ racks, which is currently the city's largest in capacity. FDC2 is designed to help increasingly data-centric enterprises accelerate digital transformation. Its state-of-the-art, energy-efficient and high-density design reduces the Total Cost of Ownership or TCO for its customers and also delivers high visibility to the enhanced level of data center service commitment.

The company noted that data centers are part of the key infrastructure for a knowledge-based economy.

Nicholas Yang, the Secretary for Innovation and Technology, HKSAR Government, said, "Although land is a scarce resource in Hong Kong, we have made every effort in the past few years to make available suitable land for data center development, from greenfield sites to conversion of existing industrial buildings. The Government will continue to explore different means to make available more suitable land for data center use in Hong Kong such as through development of caverns."
