Singapore and Japan took the second and third spots in an annual index of the most attractive places to build data centres, with only the US ranked higher, according to global design and consultancy firm Arcadis.
Asia Pacific is well represented in the 2021 index, Netherlands-based Arcadis said in its report. Of the 13 Asian markets that made the list, nine are in the top half, with Taiwan and Hong Kong just missing the top 10 at 11th and 12th respectively.
The index is based on each market’s performance across eight key criteria: GDP per capita, dealing with construction permits, price of electricity, energy security, cybersecurity, domestic market size, the number of mobile broadband subscriptions and mean download speed.
Arcadis, a leading global design and consultancy for natural and built assets, has added regional heavyweights, UAE and Saudi Arabia, to the list of top 50 markets across six continents for companies to build data centres in the world.
