T
he world of tomorrow will
be driven by a handful
of companies using one
resource in smarter ways: data.
And these companies need data
centers like them – responsive,
innovative and efficient.
Hyperscale data centers are
inherently different. A typical data
center may support hundreds of
physical servers and thousands
of virtual machines. A hyperscale
facility needs to support thousands
of physical servers and millions of
virtual machines.
Systems are optimized for data
storage and speed to deliver
the best software experience
possible. The focus on hardware

is substantially minimized. Thus,
allowing for a more balanced
investment in scalability. This
even refers to the security
aspects of computing, as security
options which are traditionally
wired into the hardware are
instead programmed into the
software. Hyperscale computing
boosts overall system flexibility
and allows for a more agile
environment. Customers benefit by
receiving higher computing power
at a reduced cost. Systems can be
deployed quickly and extended
without a lot of difficulties.
AirTrunk combines Asia-Pacific
insight and best-in-class data
center design to power the
companies transforming the world.
The firm has reimagined the data
centres of yesterday, and uses
their regional expertise to build
hyperscale data centres that are
more cost-effective, scalable, and
available. It is designing, building,
and operating the region’s largest
neutral hyperscale data centres.
Having opened Australia’s first and
largest hyper-scale data centres,
and with Singapore, Hong Kong,
and Sydney under development,
the firm has their eyes set on rapid
expansion across Asia Pacific.
