Kronologi will invest up to US$2.35 million (RM10 million) in new equipment to be installed at
an ST Electronics' existing data centre in Hong Kong. With this partnership, ST Electronics
will be able to extend Kronologis data storage and protection services to its customers.
The Group is in advanced discussions with several potential customers and expects to roll
out its services in Hong Kong in the second half of 2017. Through its Kronicles brand,
Kronologi helps regional small and medium enterprises backup and protect their data. It
uses a hybrid architecture (on-site appliances and over the cloud) to help businesses
mitigate risks to their digital assets arising from disasters, ransomware and other events.
The collaboration with ST Electronics follows Kronologis announcement in April that it would
set up transnational infrastructure to offer clients the option of having more than one physical
location or country for data backup.
Demand for data backup is being driven by the proliferation of data such as emails, staff and
business records, legal documents and more, which companies must safeguard as part of
efforts to ensure business continuity and compliance. As recent events have demonstrated,
a safeguard against ransomware is also critical for business continuity.
The collaboration with Kronologi signifies our commitment in strengthening our global
offerings. Hong Kong has a large pool of professionals in infocomm technology. Coupled
with great connectivity to many locations in Asia, it is the ideal location for us to meet our
clients growing needs for enhanced data storage and protection services, said Mr Ravinder
Singh, President of ST Electronics.
