As one of the most developed data center and cloud computing markets in Asia, Hong Kong is very likely to witness the growth of data center investment. The region has also witnessed the deployment of 5G technology, which may increase the number of interconnected devices in China. Mainland China’s demand for cross-border overseas business is also stimulating the growth of cloud computing service industries such as Hong Kong cloud servers. Hong Kong companies have a high level of service awareness and are more willing to adopt the latest industry trends, such as virtualization and cloud computing. Virtualization has become the key to data center consolidation, which can compress more virtual machines into physical servers and significantly increase server utilization.
Diving deep into these transformative trends, exploring the latest in hypergrowth and investment, securing the connected enterprise, and the role of AI, automation, and the intelligent edge. How can the 2024 Hong Kong Cloud & Datacenter Convention help industry leaders and experts navigate the challenges and opportunities in the evolving landscape of cloud and data centers, with a focus on building trust and resilience in the age of AI, unlocking the power of 5G and edge computing, and shaping the future workforce?
An element of uncertainty is now shadowing the outlook for a number of key Asia Pacific economies. While the International Monetary Fund states that Asia will remain the driver of global growth, it charts a decline from 4.6% growth in 2023 to 4.2% in 2024 and 3.9% in the medium term following. How will the prospect of lower economic growth impact demand for data centres? And what might be the consequences for companies designing, building, operating and owning them? Traditionally, data centres have survived well and even prospered through economic downturn (for example, through the GFC of 2007 to 2009, and more recently through the economic impacts of the pandemic) as growing global digitalisation has driven the sector forward. What is the opinion of leading industry analysts on the strength of the drivers of digital infrastructure growth and on the next few years for data centers? This session brings together a number of the region’s leading data center analysts to look at these key questions across APAC and with a focus on the Greater Bay Area.
It’s easy to say that 2023 was the year of AI, specifically generative AI. Adapting to its demands and harnessing its potential will be significant tasks for the data center industry in 2024, along with addressing associated issues of scarcity and power. Improving energy efficiency, reducing GHG emissions, and deploying data center in a sustainable way are now more critical than ever. In this session, Schneider Electric will share the vision for the Data Centers of the Future, where data center operations must have increased sustainability, efficiency, adaptability, and resiliency, as well as the actionable strategy to drive data center sustainability.
As Data Centers aim to reduce energy use and carbon emissions across their operations, sustainability requirements are driving the need for advanced insight and analytics through next generation software. In this session Schneider Electric will provide an overview of the challenges and solutions to deliver the outcomes required for a more resilient, secure and sustainable infrastructure.
With the surge of AI, the landscape of technology, particularly in the realm of cloud technologies, is undergoing a significant transformation. The impact of AI is reshaping the demand landscape, with a focus on storage, processing, and analysis capabilities provided by cloud solutions. The panel will delve into the evolving needs, emphasizing the increasing demand for cloud technologies at the local level as AI continues to advance. Experts will underscore the significance of strategic investments and collaborative efforts among stakeholders to meet the changing demands in the AI and cloud fields.
As trade grows between Asia and the Middle East, Hong Kong is called to play an increasingly strategic role, especially given its geographical position within the GBA and all it represents in tech and finance.
