In Hong Kong, HK01 is the only local internet company that firmly ranks among top ten and one of the world-wide largest Chinese media platforms.
As a leading online news media company in Hong Kong, HK01 has faced the challenge of launching multiple products under a tight schedule. With a large audience of over 17 million active users, each product launch requires a significant amount of infrastructure.

Secondly, cloud solutions provide the flexibility to expand infrastructure as needed and to serve customers during peak hours without downtime. This is especially valuable for solutions that may be difficult to build in a private environment, such as data connections and content delivery networks, which require specialized knowledge and expertise.
