HONG KONG, March 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Data Exchange (BDx), a pan-Asian carrier-neutral data center cluster, announces CITIC Networks as one of its connectivity partners at its highly anticipated data center located in Nanjing, China. The new facility, NKG1, is positioned in the heart of the Yangtze River Delta, one of China's most economically active regions, and is set to launch this spring. Connectivity services from CITIC Networks, a basic telecommunications services provider with a backbone network in China, will be available to customers connecting through BDx's Nanjing data center.
