In what promises to be a bumper year for data center and cloud innovation, the

As the bellwether for the industry, Datacloud Awards are globally relevant, and seek to recognize genuine innovation and the continuing evolution of the sector and the transformations underway and have now been extended to Asia.
Following the success of the annual Datacloud Europe Awards in Monaco this refreshing format, with an expert panel of Judges will become the leading Data Center and Cloud Award Ceremony in the region.
All categories are open to enterprise owned or third party facilities with two unique awards for community impact that will recognize the positive contribution that both data center and cloud make for social benefit.
