This new launches the growing demand for data centre acquisition, especially in the Asia Pacific region, as well as the increased focus on data sovereignty and localisation of data storage.

SC Zeus Data Centres is launched in partnership with a team of experienced data centre professionals led by industry veteran Joe Gooi, who takes on the role of CEO of SC Zeus Data Centres.
