Digital transformation is one of the hottest buzzwords in the business world today. And for good reason; it’s a way for organisations to futureproof themselves. Things like artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, the Internet of Things and big data aren’t just exciting, they’re relevant and necessary. Implementing technologies such as these empowers businesses, setting them up to be agile, flexible and prepared for future growth.

Yet, however great digital transformation is, it would be nothing without the invisible infrastructure behind it. These technologies are reliant on data centres.

“We are the backbone of the digital economy,” says SUNeVision CEO and Executive Director Raymond Tong. “All of these innovations and technological trends come back to us. Our data centres and all of our counterpart data centres in the world are powering up these innovations with reliability and resiliency.”

SUNeVision is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. As the number one largest and most connected data centre ecosystem in Hong Kong, SUNeVision is vital to the world’s digital capabilities. “We have the most data traffic coming in and out freely in a seamless manner,” he says. “It’s like Grand Central in New York. It’s not just one or two trains stopping in this train station. It’s thousands, all with different destinations coming and going. The most valuable and crucial data centres are those that are the most connected, and that’s what we are. One of our key data centres, called MEGA-i, is the connectivity hub in Hong Kong and in Asia.”
