A s China opens its expanding economy to global businesses to meet the growing demands of its 1.4 billion people , it presents a compelling market to global retailers , manufacturers and service companies . Starting up or growing in China is not like starting or scaling up in any western-style economy . A partner that understands the need of businesses in the wider world to gain a presence within China , and offer that access from within and at scale , is essential .

Chayora was conceived and launched nine years ago to provide just that bridge into China , a secure and carrier-neutral base for transactional data and operations . Founded by Oliver Jones , Jonathan Berney and Steven Cao , respectively CEO , COO and China Chairman , its focus is entirely on using the unique know-how , expert team , licensing and corporate structure it has created to develop and operate data centre campuses in China . Conceived on a scale that will make Chayora a major player even by China ’ s standards , the sites are strategically located and truly hyperscale developments , covering typically more than 30 hectares and with over 300MW of gross power
