GLP Changshu Southeast Data Center recognised as a top data center in China by CDCC

Shanghai, 29 November 2021 – GLP has completed the first phase of development at GLP Changshu Southeast Data Center, a brand new data center campus located in Changshu High-tech Industrial Development Zone – one of China’s top development zones – in Jiangsu Province.

The first phase of the 150,000 square meter development was purpose-built for a leading ecommerce company and its development cycle was five months less than the industry average, enabling timely support for the customer’s rapid business growth. At full buildout, the facility is targeted to provide more than 120 megawatts (MW) of IT capacity, providing facilities and added value services to over 300,000 servers.

GLP Changshu Southeast Data Center won first prize at the Data Center Technology Awards 2021 organised by China Data Center Committee (CDCC)’s 9th Data Center Summit held on 25 November. It was recognised for its innovative and sophisticated multi-system prefabrication technology which creates an efficient and flexible premium product for customers and occupiers.
