Hong Kong Government Proposes Regional Data Centre
The Hong Kong Commerce and Economic Development Bureau will conduct a study on
developing Hong Kong into a regional data centre, Secretary for Financial Services
and the Treasury, Professor KC Chan has announced.
Due for completion in mid-2008, the study will look into market demand for
different types of data centres, analyse whether changing the industrial premises
policy can cater to the needs of developing data centres, and examine regional measures. Professor Chan told legislators on Wednesday that a preliminary analysis of
the different requirements for building facilities for different types of data
centre has been conducted. He emphasized that Invest Hong Kong actively promotes Hong Kong's advantages to existing
and potential end users and data centre operators globally, by conducting overseas
visits to potential clients and helping them develop business plans in Hong
Kong.
