Analysis says Asia has become a staging ground for new data centers

The large-scale launch of the Asian Regional Data Centre also reflects the trend towards the globalization of data centers.

Oracle believes that the best way to improve data flow control and management is to use local data centers to provide services, which is much better than putting data centers far away from the rest of the world.
