Data Center Locations
Our business is focused on creating the essential infrastructure for multi-national corporations, enterprise occupiers and colocation operators requiring data center facilities in China. Operating in key locations across China, Chayora develops large, fully licensed sites ready for data center construction and operations and access to the internet. All Chayora sites meet international construction, management and security standards and typically offer 300MW of grid power supply with an objective to supply more than 50% of power from clean, green and sustainable power sources. The sites are fully provisioned and offer world-class fibre connectivity from multiple providers.
On Chayora sites customers can choose from different service options including Powered Land, Build-to-Suit, Assured Scalability and Wholesale Colocation.
