After a rigorous judging process in which an independent panel of industry experts carefully considered every contender, DCD announced the winners of its 3rd Asia Pacific Awards last night.

In a complex, dynamic and fast-evolving market, the long-established values of the DCD Awards remain consistent. In recognizing the best examples of data center innovation in design, build and management in the Asia Pacific, the Awards celebrate the key challenges of the most diverse and substantially growing region in the world. With the support of major sponsors, government agency OGCIO and associations, the Awards ceremony and gala dinner took place as a key feature of the Hong Kong Data Center Week, as part of a unique event series that provides worldwide recognition to outstanding individuals, teams and projects.

The glamorous evening was attended by 250 industry leaders from Australia, Indonesia, China, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong and more, to acknowledge the work of the finalists and to celebrate the outstanding work from our winners.

The Managing Director of DCD Asia Pacific, Mr Vincent Liew commented: “These are stories of real success and achievement which deserve sharing. This Awards program achieves that goal. It is about the organizations, their teams and the individuals who make this industry what it is today. I would like to thank all those individuals and organizations who have entered this year’s competition.”
