HONG KONG — Guangzhou (Nanxiang) Cloud Services Data Center (“Nanxiang Data Center”), established by Guangzhou Nowtop Technology Co Ltd (“Guangzhou Nowtop”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neo Telemedia Ltd (“Neo Telemedia”, HKE:8167), and Guangzhou Huade Industrial Ltd (“Huade”), held its grand opening ceremony in July 2017 and began a new chapter in the development of the modern data center with big data at its core.
Nanxiang Data Center, the first self-financing and self-operating project in China, was jointly invested by Huade and Guangzhou Nowtop, and occupies a total constructed floor area of 12,400 sq.m. housing 3,000 cabinets.

Nanxiang Data Center is also one of the first data centers in Southern China to adopt natural cooling technology. This technology will enable Nanxiang Data Center to save up to 30% in energy compared with traditional data centers, thus helping the community to reduce energy consumption and mitigate pollution as well as enhance operational efficiencies. It also helps improve the Group’s competitiveness in serving high-end IDC customers in Guangdong and enhances the Center’s ability to secure higher revenue.
With cloud computing maturing in Mainland China in recent years, the country has included infrastructure planning, such as IDC, in it’s six major missions and a policy base for integrating the development of cloud computing and IDC has been laid down.
