As one of the most developed data center and cloud computing markets in Asia, Hong Kong is very likely to witness the growth of data center investment. The region has also witnessed the deployment of 5G technology, which may increase the number of interconnected devices in China. Mainland China’s demand for cross-border overseas business is also stimulating the growth of cloud computing service industries such as Hong Kong cloud servers. Hong Kong companies have a high level of service awareness and are more willing to adopt the latest industry trends, such as virtualization and cloud computing. Virtualization has become the key to data center consolidation, which can compress more virtual machines into physical servers and significantly increase server utilization.
Will the Hong Kong market have a breakthrough development in the post-epidemic period?
W.Media is convening a whole set of experts to share their local insights at our upcoming 2023 Hong Kong Cloud & Datacenter Convention. This event will comprehensively examine the technological and business developments of these industries-from regional database management to financial technology to 5G adoption.
作為亞洲最發達的數據中心和雲計算市場之一,香港極有可能見證數據中心投資的增長。該地區還見證了 5G 技術的部署,這可能會增加中國互聯設備數量。中國大陸對跨境出海業務的需求也正在刺激香港雲服務器等雲計算服務行業的增長。香港企業對服務的認知度較高,並且更願意採用最新的行業趨勢,如虛擬化和雲計算。虛擬化已成為數據中心整合的關鍵,可將更多虛擬機壓縮到物理服務器中,並顯著提高服務器利用率。 香港市場在後疫情時期會有突破性發展嗎? W.Media 正在召集各類專家,在我們即將舉行的 2023 年香港雲和數據中心大會上分享他們的本地見解。本次活動將全面審視這些行業的技術和業務方面的發展——從區域數據庫管理到金融科技到 5G 的採用。
Hong Kong has played a key role in the global digital ecosystem as a gateway into and from the PRC and also as a major financial and commercial hub in its own right. What is its current status and its future direction?
As Hong Kong undergoes digital transformation, what role does the data center industry play for its citizens, businesses and government? How will this role change? How will this impact the export contribution of the industry to Hong Kong?
The data centre industry is the bedrock of the digital economy and advances have been made in strides to ensure operational efficiency and optimal performance. Join Chang Cho, Founder and CEO of Onion Technology, as he unpacks how Onions’ Data Centre OpsWare is driving digital transformation for the data centre business.
In this keynote, Peter Wong will share how Prenetics, a leading genomics and precision oncology company, plans and operates a global digital infrastructure in this changing environment.
The energy transition to fighting the climate emergency has already begun, but the world is still spending billions of dollars importing fossil fuels. Organizations should better optimize their energy consumption to protect company margins. It is incumbent upon data centre owners and operators, which consume up to 2% of the world’s energy, to focus on energy efficiency and sustainability.
In this keynote, Steven Lee will explore how data centre owners and operators can deploy a holistic approach to adopt the latest innovations and technologies to measure their progress and reduce energy consumption. By taking this forward-looking approach, organizations can achieve visions of net zero IT operations, and act as responsible members of the ecosystems we all share.
Enterprise companies are the foundation of the data center/cloud ecosystem. Decision-making becomes more complex as providers and technologies evolve and as options and information increase. How well is provider evolution meeting enterprise needs or is it shaping those needs?
This keynote discusses the current state of cybersecurity and the threat trends that organizations are facing. This is based on the latest Google Cybersecurity Action Team report and the mitigation strategies companies should consider in the coming years.
Increasing demand, shortage of space, greater requirements of compliance, rising costs of labour and materials… What is now the ROI case for building in Hong Kong? Which innovations and techniques can be deployed?
What do data centre migration and transformation look like and its requirements for a successful outcome – description of migration strategy and methods in avoiding common pitfalls.
David will discuss and introduce phases of repeatable process, risks and considerations, source DC assessment and artifacts gathering – validation, target DC infrastructure readiness and migration methods.
There are a number of definitions of a data center hub city. One is the size of the local datacenter footprint, far larger than that required by the digital activity of its own population, government and economy. The extra capacity can then be used to meet the needs of markets which lack the infrastructure or resources locally to meet their own level of digital demand.
The hub needs to offer developed infrastructure—data centers, networks and storage—as well as access to the resources necessary to plan, build and operate data centers. Cities which are rated as “easy to do business” are more likely to develop into recognized hubs.
As impact factors reshape demand for data centers and as the data center itself evolves far beyond just being a building, what does the future hold for data center hub cities, and for Hong Kong in particular?
