Wednesday 1st December 2021 – Nearly 125 of the senior executives in Asia Pacific gathered at W.Media’s Asia Pacific Cloud and Datacenter Awards ceremony held in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. For the first time, the Awards ceremony included three Asia Pacific sub-regions namely, Southeast Asia, Australasia and Northeast Asia. South Asia Awards ceremony was held on 25th November 2021.
On this very special evening, a great array of different technology sectors and industries were represented. The diversity on display – both in terms of innovative projects and people sphere – demonstrated fantastically a growing dedication to responsible business practices.
“As head of the awards team I am in the unique position of having had an eye on the effort that was put into every application, and the incredible innovations that sprung into existence in these unprecedented times. What our industry has achieved is nothing short of miraculous and you should be proud. ” – Litsa Francis, Awards Manager, W.Media
The judges were looking for projects, teams and individuals who have not only been excellent in innovation and leadership but also sustainability. These were the three main criteria in their evaluation for the 16 different accolades.
“The Cloud & Data Centre community has been truly innovative in stepping up to meet these demands, and this is what we are here to recognise tonight; the cloud implementations, inspiring leadership and optimisation of data centres that have advanced the digital landscape to where it is now. The vast majority of which, we as judges, have had the pleasure of evaluating.” – John Le Tissier, Awards Judges’ Representative
