In our previous series, “IDC Watch” series, we shared forward-thinking perspectives and solutions for high-density data centers during the golden age of computing power, covering every stage of construction to operation, and maintenance. Moving forward ,our new series “TCO Talks” will focus on how large enterprises can optimize the total cost of ownership (TCO) in data centers, enhance business resilience, and tackle the dual challenges of massive data storage and complex computing in the rapidly evolving AIGC era. Throughout this series, we will spotlight industry trends and market dynamics, and share Chayora’s innovative solutions. We will also demonstrate how data centers can empower enterprises to reduce costs, boost efficiency, and secure competitive edge across all stages of deployment, operation, and maintenance.

Recently, the W.Media Asia Pacific Cloud & Datacenter Awards were announced in Singapore, and Chayora was honored with the “2024 Asia Pacific Data Center Design and Engineering Team of the Year” award.        

How well do people really understand what data centers do? We know data centers house a lot of servers, use significant electrical power and require real estate in specific locations. And for anyone who believes data centers are the endpoints rather than facilitators in a diagram of our global digital infrastructure, it’s easy to see why they might believe data centers amplify many unwelcome aspects of the digital economy.

In this article, we will share insights on data center operational solutions. A well-operated data center can run efficiently without disruptions. Through operational excellence, we can minimize human errors, ensuring stability and reliability in the data center, thus providing a solid foundation for enterprises' digital transformation.

Artificial Intelligence is advancing so quickly today that it's easy to forget the iterative progress that has spanned the 75 years since Alan Turing first asked, "Can machines think?" 1956 saw the first AI conference

Introduction:Data centers serve as the digital foundation of the digital economy and intelligent development. A well-planned data center can provide enterprises with efficient, secure, and reliable data storage and processing services. In this article, we delve into the entire process of data center design, construction, and operation, focusing on the underlying design logic of end-to-end data centers.

The data center sector in Southeast Asia has seen a boom in the last five years. Fueled by the rapid advancement and adoption of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI), 5G mobile technologies, increasing digital transformation and the Internet of Things (IoT), thriving e-commerce, and pursuing digital sovereignty, Malaysia has quickly emerged as a data center powerhouse hub.

Malaysia has witnessed remarkable growth in its data center sector. Fueled by digital transformation, increasing internet access, and smartphone adoption, the demand for robust data infrastructure has surged. The push towards remote services and cloud computing has further amplified this demand. Additionally, Malaysia’s strategic positioning as a data center destination, benefiting from Singapore’s development restrictions, has bolstered its prominence in the region’s digital landscape, driving data center expansion, and contributing to its evolving digital economy.

As the backbone of the digital economy, data centers have seen rapid growth in recent years, evolving towards high computing power, top-notch security, cutting-edge technology, and improved energy efficiency. These advancements are crucial in meeting the computing demands of the digital economy's high-quality development. This progress is the result of the collective efforts of everyone involved in the data center industry chain, from upstream to downstream.
