A Superior Quality Data Center Solution for
Enterprise Customers
According to a study by Accenture, 58% of
enterprises are attempting to leverage digitalization to achieve new profit
points, with 26% of them fully prepared to execute a digital strategy. Yet,
these firms are confronted with significant challenges, such as lack of
innovative technologies to support agile applications, security issues
regarding confidential data, increased mobile workload, and business continuity
assurance.

Mr. Stephen Ho, CEO of CITIC Telecom CPC, said:
“The phrase ‘Innovation Never Stops’ is both our corporate motto, and core
business value. Although the digital transformation era has arrived,
traditional data center services can no longer satisfy enterprises’ complex
application requirements. In this Internet+ era, enterprises need to invest
lots of resources to maintain technological competitiveness. Therefore, their
best technology partner is a trusted ICT solution provider who can help them
properly leverage technological trends and empower their business development.
As a professional managed ICT solution provider, CITIC Telecom CPC has already
established a superior quality service platform, staffed by professional teams
possessing cutting-edge technical know-how, all to strongly support our
enterprise customers’ ICT needs so they can be freed to focus their energies
and resources toward business development. Today, we launch our new cloud data
center based on our extensive experience serving enterprise customers,
including our in-depth vertical industries insights. The new cloud data center
is an optimized, superior quality facility for addressing enterprise applications
and data hosting needs. The design of this new center emphasizes both excellent
hardware capacity and optimum service capability. We believe that only new data
centers which are innovative and able to reduce time-to-market can truly meet
the higher requirements of enterprises in this new era.”
