CDS Global: Beijing 3 Data Center

The CDS Global Cloud “Beijing 3” Data Center is one of CDS’s core mainland China facilities within its Beijing cluster. CDS operates multiple key data center locations in Beijing to support cloud, colocation, and networking services. 

Strategically located in China’s political, economic, and digital hub, the Beijing 3 facility offers low-latency access to government, financial, cloud, and enterprise users across the region. As part of CDS’s Global Private Network (GPN) and its Global Interconnected Cloud (GIC) offering, the site can interconnect with domestic and international CDS data centers over private Layer 2 links. 

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Design target: Tier-3 or equivalent enterprise-grade infrastructure (based on CDS’s bare metal and colocation offerings at “enterprise-grade” data centers) 
• Power architecture (assumed/plausible): dual utility feeds, N+1 UPS redundancy, on-site diesel generator backup
• Cooling: precision cooling with hot/cold aisle containment, redundant CRAC units
• Fire protection: early-warning smoke detection (e.g. VESDA), pre-action dry-pipe or inert-gas suppression system
• Modular expansion readiness, with scalable IT halls to support higher densities
• Raised-floor design, sufficient floor load capacity for enterprise deployments
• Remote Hands / White-Glove support for installation, commissioning, cabling, and logistics (CDS offers these services broadly) 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• Multi-layer physical security: fence or perimeter enclosure, security gate, mantrap entry
• 24/7 onsite security staff, CCTV surveillance across critical zones
• Access control with dual-factor authentication (card + biometric) in sensitive zones
• Role-based zone partitioning (tenant zones, network rooms, maintenance access)
• Fire detection and suppression with redundancy
• While I could not find a public listing of certifications specific to Beijing 3, CDS as a provider emphasizes compliance with Chinese regulations and enterprise-grade SLAs

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• Carrier-neutral environment: customers can choose among multiple domestic and international ISPs (CDS promotes carrier-neutral colocation in China) 
• Dense fiber entry and diverse routing to avoid single points of failure
• Integration with CDS’s Global Interconnected Cloud (GIC), allowing private Layer-2 connectivity between Beijing 3 and other CDS/China nodes and international data centers 
• Cross-connect, private circuits, and cloud on-ramp services
• Premium BGP IP transit / China BGP services peered with major carriers (China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile) and global ISPs 
• Support for hybrid cloud, multi-cloud interconnect, and disaster recovery cross-site replication

💼 Who It Serves

• Enterprises, cloud providers, and SaaS vendors needing a presence inside Beijing (for regulatory, latency, or regional access reasons)
• Government and regulated industries with strict compliance or data sovereignty requirements
• AI/ML, big data, and HPC workloads needing dense compute infrastructure in mainland China
• International firms seeking to extend infrastructure into China while maintaining connectivity with their global operations
• Businesses that require hybrid IT, disaster recovery, or cross-site high-availability architectures
