Midge Pan, Subzero APAC General Manager is interviewed

Building Tomorrow’s Leaders Today

In this in-depth interview, Midge Pan, General Manager for Subzero Engineering APAC, explains how Subzero is redefining data center performance across one of the world’s fastest-growing digital infrastructure regions. From hybrid cooling innovations to rapid modular deployment, this video highlights the strategy behind Subzero Engineering’s Vietnam facility and APAC-wide expansion.

This video gives a clear look at how Subzero Engineering is solving next-generation cooling, sustainability, and speed-to-deployment challenges across Asia Pacific—while setting new global standards for reliability and efficiency.

In this video you will learn:

  1. How Subzero Engineering solves complex APAC data center challenges
    • Solving root problems—not symptoms—through deep customer embedding
    • Modular designs that deploy in weeks, not months
    • Instant global knowledge-sharing: a solution proven in Singapore benefits Sydney immediately
    • R&D that anticipates AI and edge-driven workloads before the market demands them
  2. Why Vietnam is central to Subzero’s APAC strategy
    • APAC manufacturing anchor enabling up to 50% faster lead times
    • Central access to Japan, ASEAN, and Australia
    • Growing regional tech talent and strong export/trade positioning
    • Tight integration with the Singapore sales and service hub
  3. Engineering excellence with local adaptation
    • Global standards, engineered locally for APAC’s varied climates
    • Systems designed for humidity, dust, heat, and rapid deployment
    • Smart customization with standardized components delivers up to 40% faster installation
    • Flexible containment systems adapted to local regulations and energy grids
  4. What’s driving the next era of APAC data centers
    • AI density: Hybrid cooling already deployed while others still catch up
    • Sustainability mandates: Containment delivering ~30% energy reduction
    • Edge expansion: New markets requiring faster, compact, modular solutions
  5. How Subzero measures what matters to customers
    • Time-to-solution
    • Deployment speed
    • Knowledge-transfer velocity across US, EMEA, and APAC
    • Lifecycle value and total cost of ownership—not just upfront costs
  6. Overcoming APAC’s top three regional challenges
    • Supply chain disruptions: Vietnam facility ensures quality control and timing
    • Power constraints: Containment reduces cooling energy by ~30% and lowers PUE
    • Regulatory changes: Fast adaptation through modular, compliant containment systems
  7. How APAC trends are shaping Subzero’s global roadmap
    • Slimmer, smarter containment for tidal spaces
    • Tougher seals and environmental tuning for tropical climates
    • Faster, more modular assemblies now applied worldwide

Why this matters

Subzero Engineering’s APAC strategy is about more than speed—it’s about building smarter, more sustainable, future-proof data centers across the region. Vietnam and Singapore together form a powerful engine for innovation, regional responsiveness, and next-generation cooling solutions.

APAC isn’t just adopting the future of digital infrastructure. It’s helping define it.
