Zenlayer

Cloud and Network Infrastructure in Taiwan

A dual-city island footprint spanning Taipei in the north and Kaohsiung City in the south.

About Taiwan

Taiwan pairs one of the world's most concentrated semiconductor and electronics manufacturing bases with a dense domestic enterprise market. Zenlayer operates 5 data centers across two Taiwanese cities, 4 in Taipei and 1 in Kaohsiung City, giving the island coverage in both the northern commercial core and the southern industrial corridor where subsea cable landings come ashore.

The Taipei cluster carries most of the product depth. Across the Taiwan footprint, IP transit is available at 4 facilities, bare metal cloud and edge colocation at 2 facilities each, Cloud WAN and Cloud Connect at 2 facilities each, and CDN and public cloud services at 1 facility. Teams serving Taiwanese users can place compute, private connectivity, and content delivery inside the market rather than routing traffic in from Japan, South Korea, or mainland China.

Certifications held across the Taiwan facilities include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22301, ISO 27001, ISO 50001, PCI DSS, SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, and LEED, which matters for regulated enterprise, financial services, and manufacturing supply chain workloads. Dedicated location pages cover Taipei and Kaohsiung City for site level detail.

01 · Compute

Compute in Taiwan

Bare metal cloud is available at 2 of Zenlayer's 5 Taiwanese data centers, giving teams dedicated single tenant hardware inside the market for workloads that need predictable performance, on island data placement, or direct adjacency to local eyeball networks. Public cloud services are available at 1 facility for teams that want to mix dedicated and virtualized capacity in the same footprint.

Typical deployments include enterprise application back ends for Taiwanese users, gaming and streaming session servers that benefit from staying inside the island rather than crossing a subsea hop, and workloads tied to Taiwan's semiconductor and electronics supply chain where compute needs to sit near local partners and manufacturing systems.

Enterprise hardware

Intel Xeon Scalable. Up to 384 GB RAM. NVMe and SSD storage tiers.

Premium network

100+ Tbps backbone with dynamic, latency-optimized routing.

Instant provisioning

Deploy via Terraform, REST API, or the point-and-click zenConsole.

Flexible billing

Hourly pay-as-you-go with discounts for longer commitments.

02 · Networking

Networking in Taiwan

IP transit is the most widely deployed service in the Taiwan footprint, available at 4 of the 5 facilities. That makes transit the most consistently available way to bring inbound capacity onto the island, measured across the footprint as a whole.

Cloud WAN and Cloud Connect are each available at 2 facilities. Cloud Connect provides private links into cloud provider environments without traversing the public internet, while Cloud WAN ties the Taiwan sites into Zenlayer's software defined backbone for connectivity to other East Asia markets and the wider global footprint. CDN capacity is present at 1 facility for cacheable delivery to local audiences.

IP Transit

Blended carrier routes tuned for the lowest real-world latency.

Cloud Connect

Private, dedicated links into AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle.

Cloud WAN

Software-defined backbone spanning 290+ points of presence.

Edge protection

Layer 3 and 4 DDoS mitigation with real-time traffic filtering.

03 · Colocation

Colocation in Taiwan

Edge colocation is available at 2 of the 5 Taiwan data centers, supporting rack deployments for organizations that need to operate their own hardware alongside Zenlayer managed compute and network services. Facilities in the footprint hold certifications including ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22301, ISO 50001, PCI DSS, SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, and LEED.

The two city split shapes how island deployments are drawn. Taipei holds 4 of the 5 facilities and concentrates commercial and enterprise demand in the north, while Kaohsiung City anchors the south with 1 facility. Teams that need physical separation between primary and secondary sites can use both metros rather than placing every rack in one location. Zenlayer publishes location pages for Taipei and Kaohsiung City covering each site in detail.

Carrier-neutral

Access to 400+ carriers and major regional peering exchanges.

Flexible power

Standard and high-density rack configurations on request.

Secure access

Biometric entry, CCTV, and 24/7 dedicated remote hands.

Rapid turn-up

Cage-to-production cross-connects in days, not weeks.

FAQs

Common questions about deploying compute, networking, and colocation infrastructure in Taiwan.

Where are Zenlayer's data centers located in Taiwan?

Zenlayer operates 5 data centers in Taiwan across two cities. Taipei holds 4 facilities and serves as the commercial and enterprise anchor in the north, while Kaohsiung City holds 1 facility in the south. Dedicated location pages are published for both Taipei and Kaohsiung City with site level detail on each metro.

What cloud and network services are available in Taiwan?

IP transit is available at 4 of the 5 Taiwan facilities. Bare metal cloud, edge colocation, Cloud WAN, and Cloud Connect are each available at 2 facilities, and CDN and public cloud services are each available at 1 facility. Product mix varies by site, so confirm availability against the specific facility rather than assuming uniform coverage across the island.

Should a Taiwan deployment use Taipei, Kaohsiung City, or both?

Taipei is the usual starting point because it holds 4 of the 5 facilities and the deepest product mix. Kaohsiung City adds a southern site for teams that want physical separation between primary and secondary infrastructure, or a second geographic entry point onto the island rather than concentrating everything in one metro.

What certifications do the Taiwan data centers hold?

Certifications across the Taiwan footprint include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22301, ISO 27001, ISO 50001, PCI DSS, SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, and LEED. Coverage is not identical at every site, so teams with specific audit or compliance requirements should verify which certifications apply to the individual facility they plan to deploy into.

How does Taiwan connect to Zenlayer's other East Asia markets?

Cloud WAN, available at 2 Taiwan facilities, connects the island into Zenlayer's software defined backbone alongside Japan, South Korea, and mainland China. Each of those markets has its own country page with its own footprint and product availability, which is worth checking directly when scoping a multi country East Asia deployment.
