Softlayer’s cloud infrastructure, incorporating hardware, virtual servers, storage and networking allows users to be architects of their own cloud optimal cloud environments. End users in the Hong Kong region now have access to SoftLayer services with less than 40 milliseconds of latency. The data centre itself has capacity for over 15,000 physical servers and connectivity provided by Tier 1 carriers such as NTT, Tata and Equinix.

But establishing big data infrastructure in this regional market is not without its obstacles; the SoftLayer centre opening was delayed by a month, due to delayed approval from the Chinese government. Parent company IBM are also facing struggles in China, as the government investigates whether Chinese banks’ reliance on IBM servers compromises national financial security.
