HONG KONG, Oct. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- HKCOLO.NET Limited ("HKCOLO" or "the Company") announced that Hong Kong has a Rated 4 / Tier IV data center now. HKCOLO has achieved a certification for its advanced facility Telehouse Hong Kong CCC. It is located at Cloud Computing Complex, 2 Chun Yat Street, TKOIE, Hong Kong. It is also the first data center to have obtained this top rated data center in the financial region spanning across China, Japan, Korea and Singapore. The Certification was issued by TIA-942.
The certification signifies maximum reliability and superior quality through fault tolerance, resilience and redundancy. It also means that the facility has gone through inspections and examinations by the Telecommunications Industry Association and surpasses the Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard. There is no need for data center tenants to hire experts to study the infrastructure to ascertain the criteria for their mission critical operations. The expensive and time-consuming specialized verification work was done ahead of time by accredited third parties.
Beyond being the first data center in the region to achieve this highest certification, HKCOLO has established itself as an industry trailblazer in many areas. It is the first Neutral Data Center service provider in the region. It was the first to establish itself as a magnet in the Industrial Park in Hong Kong and quickly attracted many other service providers from near and far into the formation of a Data Center Community. The company's expertise in fulfilling the demanding and exacting standards of the finance and enterprise industries is also evidenced by its regular audit approval by three major monetary authorities, two from major cities in the region and one from North America. Furthermore, its long track record in providing tailor-made customer solutions is regarded by many as the most advanced in the industry.
Mr. Andrew Pang, Managing Director, stated, "We are extremely pleased to have achieved the Rated 4 / Tier IV Data Center Certification. As part of this achievement I would like to commend our wonderful team who are constantly striving to scale new heights and attain new levels of service excellence. They have been diligently serving our customers. Through their hard work, Hong Kong has proven to be the world-leading hub for advanced data center service excellence. Hong Kong will serve as the gateway for overseas enterprises into China and also as the springboard for Chinese enterprises overseas. We will not be complacent in what we have achieved today. Through continual advancement and vision to the future, we strongly believe the Pearl of the East will shine forever brightly with confidence."
