“Taipei is a fast-moving technology hub with booming demand for hyperscale data centers to power next generation applications, cloud transformation and AI adoption. We are excited to launch our flagship Taipei data center to fulfill surging customer demand and enable the region’s digitalization,” said Raymond Tong, president of Vantage’s APAC business. “We look forward to welcoming customers moving into TPE11 and supporting their growing businesses.”
“Semiconductors and artificial intelligence industries are key components of President Lai’s ‘Five Trusted Industry Sectors,’ while data centers are the backbone infrastructure for AI development. Taiwan, with its globally recognized semiconductor supply chain and pool of AI talent, is definitely an ideal hub for AI development,” said Emile Chang. “The inauguration of Vantage’s TPE11 data center truly shows the international community’s recognition of Taiwan’s strides in AI and high-tech industry. I am confident that Vantage will leverage Taiwan’s technology advantages and continue to advance in the field of data centers.”
