We are all experiencing an unprecedented situation. The coronavirus COVID-19 global pandemic is affecting every aspect of our lives. We are experiencing a very special situation in 2020.
Health and safety of our employees, customers and partners is always our primary concern. Like most companies and institutions, we are closely monitoring the latest information provided by the government, and we are adapting our plans to reflect the updated guidelines and evolving situation of COVID-19. Recently, the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases is increasing and the fourth wave is coming in Hong Kong. We, here, to remind everyone to keep the epidemic prevention awareness at top level, keep the masks on and wash hands frequently. We will execute all the measures we designed making sure that we could provide a virus free environment in our facilities to maintain business continuity so that our customers and partners don’t have to worry about theirs. With our customers, partners and our great effort, we believe that we could get through it safely and return to normal soon.
For enhancing safety awareness and readiness, we planned for different kinds of drill in our facilities regularly. We have completed a fire drill and break in drill in our facility in SFC in October. More will be coming in future months. The purpose of these drills is to field test the readiness of our staff in handling different situations and to demonstrate their operation skill of a new incident happening in our premises.

The purpose of these drills is to provide a general guideline on how on-site staff should handle the situation and how to operate foam type fire extinguisher when petrol bombs were found within premises. Foam type fire distinguisher is also applicable for putting out fire caused by flammable liquid. We are using a much larger volume of foam type fire distinguisher in these drills, it enhances the ability that we could put out a greater scale of fire in a shorter period of time. We will resume these drills once the situation is allowed.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has been disrupting lives and businesses around the world. In here, HKCOLO wishes everyone and your loved ones health and safety.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupting lives and businesses around the world. In here, HKCOLO wishes everyone and your loved ones health and safety.
The new Coronavirus, COVID-19 has been spread all around the world for the past months. With more and more infected cases worldwide, governments and local authorities are taking emergency measures to stop the virus spreading. Data center industry is not excepted. Data center businesses should be working together in order to help the society and the world getting back to the normal. There are different measures data center business should take. We believe that working together is the only way to get the victory against COVID-19. With everyone’s effort, the world will get back to the right track soon.
Cloud or cloud computing, these terms used to sound so sophisticated and far away from us, but nowadays we cannot live without cloud services. Dropbox, google drive, icloud, to name but just a few, these are the most commonly used cloud services used by the public. It shows the current mindset of how cloud is deployed: as a centralised platform to store the data. However, in order to reform the cloud services, we must dump these kind of ‘old school’ usage and embrace the new multicloud.
At the end of the second decades of the 21st century, it is time for review and preview. In the previous 20 years, we have seen many developments in the data centre industry. According to forecast, the development of data centre is likely to continue at least until 2023, and the development in APAC region can be more prominent than other regions. It can be expected that more and more data centres will be built in the Southeast Asian region, and not only in some traditional “big hub” like Singapore, but also in other countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia.
Congratulations! It was our pleasure to attend the 16th Anniversary of TraxComm. The event was excellent with great music and arrangement. We had a great time and enjoy the time meeting our peers. See you next year in TraxComm Annual Dinner.
For many years much attentions have been put on the security of Information Technology (IT) but not much was put on the Operational Technology (OT). A good facility without a compatible operating system can still remain a security risk to a data centre. Some measures can be taken such as replacing the legacy apps to minimize the vulnerability of data centre. One should not neglect the flaw in the operating system in order to provide a secure service for their clients.
Latency is always the key consideration for a data centre. With the introduction of 5G network, latency has already been largely reduced even from distant cloud data centre. So why do we still talk about edge data centres? The case in Minnesota may change your mind regarding the necessity of edge data centres. Although you might think edge data centres sound like another generation of the industry, they are as far away from us as we thought.
