How to know when a data center location is not a good choice
When evaluating a data center location, consider it unsuitable if:
- Latency Tests: Results consistently exceed 30-40 milliseconds (ms), as recommended by OpenMetal for modern clouds and hosting needs.
- Geographical Distance: Far from the primary user base, increasing delay.
- Local Infrastructure: Lacks the capacity or quality needed for low-latency connections.
- Connectivity Options: Limited or no direct connections to major internet backbones or networks.
OpenMetal’s Singapore facility delivers good latency for the Hong Kong area, with around 37ms maximum ping times from central Hong Kong. Even when adding an extra 5ms for the last mile for less central locations, the maximum ping time is 42ms, which provides good speeds and low latency. Hence our Singapore location is a good choice for Hong Kong businesses looking for colo, bare metal, GPU servers, hosted applications and cloud services.
