GDS upheld its lead as "China's Top IDC Company" and "China's Top 3rd Party Data Center" for the third year in a row, a strong testament of the data centre and hybrid cloud service provider’s leadership position in the industry. Both annual accolades are the most influential awards in China’s IDC industry, where outstanding companies are recognised for their significant contributions to the industry during the year. In 2015, GDS, in partnership with AliCloud, promoted the development of enterprise-level hybrid cloud service in China that reshaped the enterprise IT ecosystem and brought the data centre industry to the next level.
