Hong Kong is increasingly becoming the North Asia data hub with many cloud service providers setting up data centers in the SAR, said recently when releasing its first Cloud Readiness Index.

While Japan is in the lead in terms of the use of cloud technologies, Hong Kong is ranked the second by the association in its index.

"World leading broadband penetration and excellent international connectivity, coupled with good policy governance, provides a strong platform for cloud adoption by HK government and local businesses," said a spokesperson of the Asia Cloud Computing Association.
