Fujitsu announced the launch of its first data center in China.
Located in the Guangdong High-Tech Service Zone for Financial Institutions, it is South China’s first Tier 3 plus data center. Its investors are the Nanhai People’s Government of Foshan and Fujitsu, and it is managed and operated by Fujitsu South China Technology Services.
The Fujitsu South China data center has a gross area of 12,200 square meters and uses earthquake resistant steel and concrete, with one subterranean floor and four above-ground levels. The overall area of the building is over 12,000 square meters and can house 1,000 servers in full operation.
The opening of thecenter provides corporate customers in the China region - especially those in South China - the best-in-class, efficient and secure IT systems and services. Today, companies based in China, be it foreign companies operating in China or Chinese companies with an eye on international expansion, are all looking to digitalization as a stepping stone to the global economy.
The opening of the data center is an innovative initiative by the traditionally manufacturing-heavy province of Guangdong to drive advanced manufacturing, modern services and financial services.
The new data center eliminates customers’ dependence on network operators to provide server hosting. In addition, Fujitsu is able to provide its customers with world-class, highly dependable and high performance services thanks to improved control over power, equipment, entry systems, networks, middleware and systems, all locally-controlled.
The data center will also provide customers with co-location and hosting services, managed services, project services and vendor management services.
