Bring systems across locations into one deployment plan.
Plan dedicated resources, management access and data protection for businesses in Hong Kong, Macau and the Greater Bay Area.
Deployment location
Confirm server and data-storage locations according to applications, offices and access needs.
Controlled connectivity
Review networks, administrator accounts and permissions across locations, separating internal and supplier access.
Maintenance and recovery
Inventory system versions, arrange updates, backups and migration tests, and define each party's responsibilities.
Confirm cross-location data flows and third-party processing for actual systems. Hosting location alone does not determine every applicable requirement.
Explore GDMME connectivity and protectionDedicated system resources
Plan dedicated server resources around business applications and access requirements at each office, confirming hosting locations and network configurations.
Operating systems and deployment
- Choose Windows Server or Linux according to application requirements and current support availability
- Review existing versions, updates and compatibility before planning migration
- Specify administrative access, backup and maintenance responsibilities in the solution
What to confirm before deploying servers across locations
Review hosting locations, application versions, connectivity and backups together. Plans should reflect actual access requirements at each office and specify administrative permissions, maintenance windows and fault escalation. For older systems, assess vendor support and migration risks before arranging isolation, upgrades and recovery tests.

When is this service suitable?
Common needs
- Different offices need access to the same business applications.
- Systems need dedicated resources and clear deployment and management responsibilities.
- Access or version compatibility issues require a review of current usage.
Which service do I need?
- Dedicated server rental
Review dedicated system resources and management arrangements.
- ERP cloud servers

- Hong Kong–mainland private connectivity
Coordinate connectivity assessment across office locations.
Prepare for an enquiry
- Application name, purpose and current deployment.
- User count, locations and required access methods.
- Target launch or migration date and existing responsibilities.
For an initial enquiry, describe the issue and equipment only. Do not submit passwords or verification codes. The team will arrange a secure channel for sensitive documents and incident records.

Cloud and cross-border systems: security planning priorities
「Connecting operations across locations」 includes the following security priorities; measures, tests and deliverables are specified in the proposal.
- Deployment and dataConfirm system locations, data flows, workloads and provider responsibilities, assessing deployment scope against business needs.
- Accounts and interfacesInventory tenants, administrators, service accounts and APIs, planning permission separation and required operation logs.
- Operational continuityDiscuss updates, alerts, capacity and backups, defining fault and recovery responsibilities for the business and provider.
AI considerationsWhere cloud AI accesses business data, check data-use and retention settings, knowledge-base access and external tool permissions. Apply human approval to automated changes according to risk.

You may also want to know
Our Hong Kong office is small, but mainland colleagues also need our systems. What should we provide for a quotation?
List office locations, user numbers, business applications and operating system versions, and explain which information colleagues need to access. This helps the team discuss hosting locations, resources, connections and backups.
Does hosting a server in Hong Kong resolve every cross-border data risk?
Actual data flows, remote administration, backup locations and third-party processing still need review. The server address alone cannot determine the risks.
