Pacnet, China Telecom Partner to Advance Cloud in Southwest China

Pacnet Business Solutions and China Telecom have announced a strategic partnership to advance data center and cloud development in the city of Chongqing.  Under the partnership, China Telecom will establish new Points of Presence (PoPs) in Pacnet’s Chongqing data center, CQCS1, to give Chongqing as well as the Liangjiang New Area more of a foothold in the cloud computing industry in China.

The partnership combines Pacnet’s infrastructure in Asia-Pacific with China Telecom’s  network reach to provide customers that are colocated in the CQCS1 data center with bandwidth and fully diverse connectivity to critical hubs throughout the footprint. CQCS1 is the first Tier III data center in Southwest China.

“Pacnet is honored to support the Chongqing municipal government in fostering cloud development to meet the growing power, efficiency and availability demands of this emerging telecommunications hub,” said Carl Grivner, CEO of Pacnet.  “A significant milestone for Pacnet’s business in China, our strategic partnership with China Telecom enables us to provide low latency and reliable services for customers with existing operations or expansion plans in Southwest China.”

Pacnet is the only foreign invested company licensed to provide data center network services in the city of Chongqing.

“We are pleased to be a part of this strategic partnership and paramount technical initiative,” said Zhaoqiang, general manager at China Telecom Corporation Chongqing. “The collaboration enables us to combine our extensive network coverage in China with a Tier III data center service delivered by a leading regional data center provider in order to effectively serve the growing cloud communities in Chongqing as well as the rest of the country.”

China leads the Asia-Pacific region in data center services demand.  Its Southwestern megacity, Chongqing, is growing at an annual rate of 12 percent. Pacnet expects that by 2017, the software and information services industry in Chongqing will reach $350 billion, and e-commerce volumes will grow to $250 billion.
