PCCW Solutions, the information-technology services arm of Richard Li Tzar-kai’s PCCW Group, has extended the reach of its data centre business into more than 40 cities around the world through a major international alliance.

“We’re providing a partnership that would make it easier for our customers in Asia to have the required connectivity and service-level agreements they need to do business across the globe,” Ramez Younan, the managing director of PCCW Solutions, told the South China Morning Post ahead of that initiative’s launch Friday.

The new “D-Infinitum Global Data Center Alliance”, which has commenced operations, comprise a network of more than 80 data centres located in Hong Kong, mainland China, Australia, France, Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, the United States and Canada.

Data centres are secure, temperature-controlled facilities built to house large-capacity servers and data storage systems, and feature multiple power sources and high-bandwidth internet connections.

These facilities are largely used to host cloud computing operations. Cloud services enable companies to buy, lease or sell software and other digital resources online, just like electricity from a power grid.
