DediPower Expands Asian Presence With Launch of Managed Hosting Operations in Hong Kong

REDDING, England -

- Anticipates Rapid Regional Growth as Asian Complex Hosting Market Tipped to Reach One Billion US Dollars by 2011

One of the UK’s leading providers of managed hosting and data centre solutions, DediPower, has set it sights firmly on the rapidly expanding Asian web hosting market with the announcement of its new dedicated operations in Hong Kong. DediPower’s extended presence in the region will enable it to deliver the same exceptionally high levels of local service and support to customers in the Far East, that has helped fuel its growth and success in the UK.

With Asia expected to take on the lion’s share of managed complex hosting growth over the next few years, DediPower’s dedicated presence, at the heart of this market, makes sound strategic and commercial sense.

Research Director at Tier1 Research, Antonio Piraino, states, “By 2011, we anticipate the complex hosting market in Asia to be worth over one billion US dollars; growing from around 3% to 7% of global market share of the global managed hosting market. With China, Japan and India currently opening up to US and European businesses such as financial institutions, e-commerce and ISV’s, Hong Kong is seen as a ‘de facto’ stepping stone to the region.”

This outlook is reinforced by Craig Martin, CEO, DediPower Managed Hosting. “We see Asia as the next big market for dedicated managed hosting. It represents a hotbed of technical innovation and commercial activity that will springboard a new wave of growth; both from indigenous business and from those seeking to gain entry to this lucrative market. Hong Kong’s ‘neutrality’ in the region; outstanding employee work ethic; access to multilingual workforce; and flexible regulatory framework makes it the ideal location to base our Asian hosting and data centre business. We are delighted to be expanding our reach and capability in this dynamic and exciting market; and remain committed to delivering the extensive services and unrivalled support which is central to our international success.”

Enterprises in Asia will now be able to access business server solutions based on custom built high-specification dedicated servers though DediPower’s Hong Kong-based Managed Hosting operations. As with all DediPower’s solutions, these are underpinned by a world-class hosting infrastructure that has been designed to ensure the highest levels of network uptime, availability, flexibility and security.
