Chayora Ltd. says the first hyperscale data center on its Beijing campus, TJ1, is now operational. The facility offers capacity scalable from single racks up to 25,000 racks accessing over 300 MVA of available power, the company says.
The company was founded to meet the hyperscale data center needs of company’s looking to do business in China and first "opened" TJ1 early last year (see “Chayora opens first of nine data centers in Tianjin, China”). The Beijing campus measures 80 acres within the Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei Tri-state Region of Northern China. The new Tier III international standard colocation facility has been certified as the first OCP Ready data center in China; Chayora expects the site to receive accreditation as an Uptime Institute Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility “shortly.” The facility is served by multiple network operators who can provide ultra-low latency data transmission to Beijing’s Central Business District at <2 ms per round trip.In addition to the new facility, Chayora also is offering build-to-suit services for international and Chinese domestic hyperscale cloud service providers on the campus as well.
“We are thrilled to open the first facility on our ‘China-scale’ data center campus to serve the Greater Beijing today,” said Oliver Jones, CEO of Chayora, on October 29. “Cloud and carrier neutral with global connectivity and built to Chayora’s exacting international standards, we offer exceptional data center capacity that scales to suit. I hope that potential customers attending our launch event today will see the difference in person or through viewing our unique fly-through and enjoy experiencing the future of data centers in China.”
