EAccording to the latest article "Building the Data Center of the Future" from Data Center Dynamics, data centers operators need better management tools to overcome challenges posed by subsystems, i.e. power distribution, water systems, communications, security, and surveillance.
Newtech's iNAV DCIM solution is an integrated software application to oversee data centers' IT and physical infrastructure in a simplified and unified approach. It provides 3D visualization, automatic reporting systems, and effective communication channels which can minimize the energy and operating cost in an intelligent way.
We're are delighted to be recognized by The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) as a Caring Company for over a decade.
Here at Newtech, we pledge to ensure the well-being of the community, employees, and the environment. During these challenging times, we continue to support underprivileged communities, employees' well-being, and environmental sustainability through our initiatives, including special workplace arrangements, food coupon sponsorship for charities and IT devices donation to struggling families with study-at-home kids.
In Newtech, we value social sustainability by supporting the Program of Leadership Enhancement for Serving Principals from the Education University. In a bid to enhance leadership perspective, we shared our business model and leadership knowledge with principals and vice-principals through various seminars.
Legan Group Executive Director, Mr. Julian Wong was honored to meet the principals and receive the Partnership for Educational Excellence Award on behalf of the Group.
Newtech's team of professional engineers and specialists have been providing turnkey data center infrastructure solution for a leading Chinese commercial bank during the past 9 years.
In 2012, Newtech was appointed to provide data center design and build service for their Macau branch. Owing to customer's satisfaction, we delivered built-to-suit solution for their Macau disaster recovery site in 2016.
We were also nominated as their Hong Kong data centers building contractor in 2013, 2015 and 2017. The projects cover a total building area of over 60,000 sq.ft with over 1,300 racks.
Newtech has designed and constructed the new generation of digitalized data centers for Hong Kong and Macau customers all along the line.
Recently, Newtech delivered data center turnkey solution for a multi-national technology giant within 6 months. In face of the pandemic, all change management is logged in a remote monitor system. Customer can monitor, comment, and approve all jobs through this interactive interface.
This project included the installation of high-density 10 kvA racks. To increase energy and cooling efficiency, Newtech replaced raised floor with CRAC corridor. As such, our specialists installed hot aisle containments for the air-conditioning and ventilation system. This provides more space for equipment and allows a significant reduction in the operation cost.
Throughout the decades of development, Newtech has been appointed as Hong Kong MTR's data center enhancement service provider.
In 2010, we were appointed to upgrade their headquarter data center by installing UPS and adopting the iNAV DCIM system. Further on, we provided data center enhancement for their disaster recovery site in Tsuen Wan in 2014, with cost effective built-to-suit solutions.
In 2019, we were nominated as the depot computer room modification service provider for their subsidiary in Macau in 2019, by providing peace of mind data center design and build services.
Newtech's proprietary iNAV DCIM solution ensures customers like MTR to monitor the data center efficiently with one click. Recently, we installed UPS, PMP and advanced iNAV DCIM system for the MTR Tsuen Wan site. Operators can monitor equipment in a real-time basis for headquarter and the Tsuen Wan site over the same portal.
As one of the market leaders in critical environments, Newtech has just delivered an all-rounded data center design and build solutions in Hong Kong for a China-based world-wide telecommunication service provider.
This project covers a total of 3 data center halls, over 600 cabinets with a total contract sum of about HK$100 million. The project scope includes design, management, processing official documents, and drawings submission, supply and installation of equipment, various stages testing and commissioning with a 12-month warranty and maintenance service package.
Recently, the demand for storing and processing data resulting from Big Data and IoT operation in Hong Kong has grown exponentially. Second-tier companies seize the opportunity to expand their IT resources. Newtech was appointed by a Hong Kong-based financial company as its main contractor for office and server room relocation.
Newtech has overcome the low ceiling height challenge and installed equipment, structure cabling, and a high-density containment system. We brought along a team of specialists to set up a total of 2,000 data ports and deliver the design and build services for their Kowloon Bay and Sheung Wan offices within three months and two months respectively.
Congratulations! Newtech was awarded the Caring Company emblem for the 14th consecutive year from The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS). Thank you HKCSS for the recognition.

With the increased demand for heat-generating high-density servers in data centers comes the need for cooling efficiency and energy saving.
Introducing oil-free centrifugal chiller, one of the eco-cooling solutions and cost-effective energy saving technologies for the green data center. It uses magnetics to levitate bearings and parts that normally require lubrication. This reduces system friction and power consumption comparing to that of the lubricated traditional chiller.
The Oil-free centrifugal chiller’s intelligent energy management serves to save energy and minimize CO2 footprint. Every energy improvement allows a significant reduction in the operation cost.
Regular exercise is part and parcel of maintaining a healthy life, especially for the elderlies. Newtech is honored to launch the Eight Pieces of Brocade exercise classes with Lutheran Church Hong Kong Synod, Hong Kong Christian Service, and Christian Family Service Centre in November. It aims to arouse the elderlies’ interest in doing exercises and enable them to maintain wellbeing through group classes.
Enclosure Adaptive Cooling (EAC) System is one of the high power density cooling solutions (10KW+) for data centers, which is different from the typical 5KW/rack data centers with a raised floor. Thanks to its dynamic fan speed control, it can ensure airflow be adaptive to heat load and flexibility to be regulated continuously with its intelligent control.
How can data centers benefit from EAC?
In Newtech, we strive to provide peace-of-mind facility management in data centers. As one of the market leaders for critical environments, we provide E&M engineering installation, PUE monitoring, electricity tariff assessment, chiller plant monitoring, room temperature, humidity, and CRAC status tracking.
