International Business Machines’ ever-expanding cloud computing services will continue development in Asia.
The company announced it is collaborating with Range Technology Development, out of China, to build a state of the art cloud computing data center in Langfang City in Hebei province. It will be the largest cloud computing center in Asia, says IBM.
“This new facility will leverage IBM‘s data center innovation and resources to provide a cost-effective solution while providing the flexibility to meet the unpredictable changes in IT demand — whether it is from changes in IT technology or new business models such as cloud computing,” said Steven Sams, vice president, IBM Site and Facilities Services, in a statement.
IBM expects the facility to help companies across China with enterprise-wide strategic outsourcing services, business continuity and disaster recovery as well as advanced capabilities in cloud computing. The facility will be more than 620,000 square meters large or approximately 6.2 million square feet.
