Service providers help companies assemble
unique combinations of public and private clouds and colocation
resources, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Enterprises in Asia Pacific are turning to hybrid cloud and data
center services to meet specialized business, legal, cultural and
IT requirements, according to a new research report published today
by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global
technology research and advisory firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center
Solutions report for Asia Pacific, which covers Australia, New
Zealand, Southeast Asia and India, finds that various combinations
of public, private and on-premises data centers are ideal for most
companies in the region.
“There is no one right or wrong approach to data center
resources,” said Michael Gale, partner and regional leader, ISG
Asia Pacific. “The best strategy is the one that is most effective
for each organization.”
Cloud and data center choices in the region are largely shaped
by factors such as cost, security, data privacy and
interoperability requirements, the report says. Access to computing
power for generative AI (GenAI) has become another key
consideration. Conditions unique to certain parts of Asia Pacific
influence companies’ decisions, especially because costs, network
capacity and access to experienced labor vary widely across the
region. In some cases, complex geopolitical issues affect which
networks enterprises can use and where their data can be
stored.
Companies struggling to manage IT budgets and resources are
turning to managed services providers for help in migrating
applications to the right IT architectures, ISG says. These must
meet requirements for server downtime, data loss and other factors.
Increasingly, enterprises want to automate operations through AI
and ML technologies to boost efficiency and cut costs.
Demand is also growing in Asia Pacific for managed hosting
services to remove the burdens of operating private data centers,
the report says. In addition to secure storage, reliability and
fast connectivity, companies want these services to include
advanced security measures and automated backup and recovery based
on AI.
Companies in the region that need scalable computing and
economies of scale are engaging with colocation providers in
growing numbers, ISG says. To comply with local regulations on
cloud sovereignty and other considerations, large multinational
enterprises are working with providers that have facilities across
Asia Pacific rather than only in top data center locations such as
Singapore or Melbourne. Companies focused on one market are
considering more localized providers.
“Location is critical in Asia Pacific,” said Jan Erik Aase,
partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Providers’
new data center investments in growth markets are good news for
enterprises.”
The report also examines other cloud and data center trends in
Asia Pacific, including the expansion of some managed hosting
services to new countries and the rising interest in modular data
centers for remote sites.

challenges in Asia Pacific, including widespread skills shortages
and evolving sustainability requirements, plus ISG’s advice for
addressing these issues, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points
