China Unicom Global Limited (China Unicom Global) received the Data Centre – Telecommunications honour at the Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards 2025, which highlights the efficiency of UniCom Global Intelligent·Cloud Data Centre in Hong Kong, China.
China Unicom Global, a leading provider of digital intelligence services, has unveiled UniCom Global Intelligent·Cloud Data Centre, the next-generation facility that meets the demands of the fast-changing digital world through flexibility, scalability, and sustainable efficiency.
Smart design for smarter future
The data centre’s innovation includes customisable “super-high” racks that support modular configurations from 10U to 77U. These deliver up to 60% greater efficiency compared to standard designs, which is an ideal unit for supporting high-power computing needs, especially as AI applications continue to grow.
The racks feature a design that focuses on performance and adaptability, and can handle power loads up to 50kVA. They are also supported by air and liquid cooling technologies. Moreover, the centre’s advanced infrastructure allows it to maintain a PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) value at least 0.15 lower than conventional models.
China Unicom Global’s data centre occupies 37,000 square metres and can host over 4,500 racks. It is located at a major international submarine cable landing site, providing seamless global connectivity that makes it a vital hub in the region’s digital infrastructure ecosystem.
Fully self-built and self-operated, the facility holds Uptime Tier III certification and a list of global standards and awards.
Furthermore, China Unicom Global ensures round-the-clock performance with a zero-major-incident track record and 100% service availability since launch. The centre uses advanced security protocols such as intrusion prevention, host hardening, and a fully integrated Network and Security Operations centre (NoC + SoC).
Its operational excellence is supported by intelligent automation such as robotic inspections, AI-powered diagnostics, and drone navigation. When it comes to sustainability, the facility uses chilled water systems, AI-enabled monitoring, and a smart DCOM platform to track and optimise energy use in real time.
With intelligent computing on the rise, China Unicom Global is paving the way with an ecosystem of advanced services, including AIDC, AINET, AISI, AICLOUD, and AICC. In 2024, it also reached a major milestone with the launch of an intelligent computing hosting service for a major Hong Kong university.
China Unicom Global is further promoting intelligent computing with the development of a liquid cooling showcase that will allow customers to experience the full capabilities of its solutions firsthand.
With a presence in over 200 countries and regions, supported by more than 60 international submarine cables and 40 global branches, China Unicom Global delivers next-gen infrastructure and services.
