“ When people refer to Asia, they often think of it as a homogeneous region, but the reality is more nuanced. Operating in Korea isn’ t the same as operating in the Philippines or India,” he explains.“ That’ s why we’ ve built a unified platform that ensures a consistent standard of quality, backed by deep local expertise in each market.”
Across APAC, Digital Edge focuses on balancing global standards with local adaptability. While the company maintains central governance over its sites across all aspects of design and build, it delegates the implementation of these frameworks to local teams with expertise in the area.
“ Whether it’ s through our local teams or local partnerships, or vendors and suppliers, that we work with on the ground in a particular market, we do so because they are the ones with the most understanding of what can and can’ t be done,” John says.“ It’ s about the art of possibility, rather than someone sitting at corporate trying to build and operate a data centre in a particular market.”
Recognising that local teams possess crucial knowledge about a region’ s market conditions is what sets Digital Edge apart. By leveraging those critical relationships with local suppliers and vendors, the company aims to navigate local challenges to achieve the best possible operations.
