China Unicom: Growth through RELIABLE operations

• For continued growth, consistency is a must for everything from utility entrance to rack power distribution to 24/7 capacity and support across sites.

• China's data centre industry growth rate far exceeds the global average, but providing ample, quality cloud computing resources and networks to reach new demands remain a challenge.

• China Unicom's competitive advantages are great, but must be maintained by focusing on improvements to infrastructure support, supply chain, business models and IT infrastructure operations.

• Critical facility operations at China Unicom's super sites must achieve zero interruption for users' key workloads.
