Chayora, a Hong Kong-based data centre infrastructure company, has finalised agreements with the government of Beichen, Tianjin, to construct the company’s first hyperscale data centre campus in China.
The 300MW, 80-acre campus will serve the greater Beijing region that is home to more than 150 million people in the JingJinJi mega-metropolitan area of northern China.
Chayora has already started the construction — targeting to begin live operations by the end of 2018. This first building on Chayora’s Tianjin Data Centre campus is designed for up to full 2N resilience and redundancy with dedicated substations for a 25MW IT load. Both gas turbine power generation and advanced grid power will support the site.
The Chayora Tianjin campus will comprise six large 3000 rack data centres and three smaller 1000 rack high performance computing facilities.
“The creation of technology infrastructure will play a key part in underpinning these goals and Chayora is committed to supporting this achievement,” said Oliver Jones, co-founder and chief executive officer of Chayora.
China will represent approximately 25 percent of world cloud revenues by 2020, according to Forward Intelligence Group.
Chayora will begin construction of its second hyperscale campus, a 280MW data centre to serve the greater Shanghai region, in the second quarter of 2018.
Chayora’s facilities will be newly-built and designed from the ground up to international standards with all necessary permits to enable global corporates to access Shanghai and the surrounding provinces of eastern China.
Chayora’s core offering is to develop and operate data centres for individual clients on long-term contracts across multiple strategically-located campuses.
Chayora is raising further investment resources to augment its existing capital, and to pursue its plan to design and build additional data centre campuses in key connectivity hubs across China.
