The digital landscape has been growing at an ever-faster rate for decades. With the continued reliance on cloud services, the widespread implementation of 5G cellular networks, and more recently the astronomical takeoff of AI and ChatGPT, this trend only looks set to increase in the coming years. Matching this increased demand is a tall order for the data center industry. This additional computing power requires more energy, more space, increased cooling and faster delivery. All this while doing so in a sustainable and eco-friendly manner. Environmental concerns and targets are no longer just a preference, but in many cases a legal or business requirement. There are many innovative companies in the industry trying to solve these individual issues, but as with many areas of life, often the best way to address such a complex problem is through one, collective, synergistic effort. Chindata Group, a leading carrier-neutral hyperscale data center solution provider in Asia-Pacific emerging markets, is now providing exactly this type of full-stack solution, aiming to efficiently transform electric power into cutting-edge computing power. Meeting demands with faster delivery With demand for processing power growing exponentially, data center operators are expected to meet this demand from their customers at a faster rate than ever before. This means quicker construction while still minimizing carbon emissions and building in a green manner. Chindata, with its subsidiary company Bridge Data Centres in Southeast Asia, addresses this by offering a containerized, prefabricated construction approach. Through the use of building, power, cooling and IT modules, designed and developed in-house but shipped and deployed to the location, the company is able to reduce on-site construction time and carbon emissions. Chindata refers to this method as its “China factory prefabrication + parallel overseas construction model”, and the real world results are impressive. At a project in Malaysia,…

In the Asia-Pacific region, data centres are in a high-growth phase. In China, for example, the market for data-centre services is set to see a compound annual growth rate of almost 20% over the next five years, according to industry figures. Similar trends are being seen in other Asia-Pacific markets, with data-centre development being driven by rapid growth in subsea cables, the rise of AI applications such as ChatGPT, and investments by cloud providers and global enterprises establishing operations in the region. This creates a need for data centres to meet escalating requirements in a short amount of time and boost power density. Amid these growing demands, substantial innovation is required to improve efficiency and reduce electricity and water consumption to meet accelerating needs for sustainability. Industry enterprises are transitioning towards large-scale, low-emission, and high-efficiency operations to align with these trends. Many industry players place a strong emphasis on technological innovation, having obtained and applied for hundreds of patents. This focus has helped them gain recognition for best practices in data centre provision and service innovation, winning awards such as Best Data Centre Provider and Best Data Centre/Edge Service Innovation at prestigious industry events.
