HKBN Enterprise Solutions Teams Up with Global Switch
Unveils Liquid Cooled Data Centre Co-location Services for High-Performance Compute Solutions
HKBN Enterprise Solutions (HKBNES) has collaborated with leading data centre operator, Global Switch, to deliver highly resilient and advanced data management solutions for enterprise customers. Leveraging HKBN’s world-class fibre network infrastructure and one-stop managed services, the collaboration can address the surging demand for high-performance computing and efficient data storage in the era of artificial intelligence (AI).
Global Switch Hong Kong, located in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate, is one of the largest carrier- and cloud-neutral data centres in Hong Kong, spanning an area of 70,545 square metres of space with a 100 MVA of power supply. It is the first data centre in Hong Kong to utilise direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology for higher compute density within the same physical footprint compared to traditional cooling methods. This innovation supports the growing demand for high-performance computing, while achieving the Platinum level of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for energy efficiency.
With its advanced sustainability features, this facility helps users meet their environmental, social, and governance requirements. Designed for excellent scalability and efficient power management, Global Switch Hong Kong is well-engineered to handle energy-intensive workloads, such as high-performance computing, AI applications, and large-scale server operations.
Strategically located near TKO Connect – Hong Kong’s first and only dual submarine fibre cable system co-invested by HKBN – this Global Switch facility offers tremendous advantages for enterprises and advanced technologies. This prime location ensures robust network resilience and ultra-low latency, making it particularly suitable for AI-driven applications which require high-speed data transfer.
