Start with your main users
Prioritize where the developers who use remote access most often are located—not merely where the company is registered.
SetMini currently offers two dedicated Apple Silicon physical Mac configurations in Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), and Hong Kong. Start with the location closest to your main users and code sources, then consider collaboration time zones, transfer volume, and real-time usage.
These directory combinations are generally available to order; actual availability is returned in real time by the console.
Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong all offer SetMini M4 and SetMini M4 Pro. Node selection does not change hardware specifications, payment channels, or dedicated access. Compare user location, code and asset transfer paths, working hours, and interaction frequency.
Prioritize where the developers who use remote access most often are located—not merely where the company is registered.
For large repositories, media assets, and build caches that transfer repeatedly, consider both the code host location and the uploader’s network.
Frequent graphical-interface work depends more on responsiveness; overnight builds, transcoding, and archiving depend more on task paths and delivery time zones.
Network paths vary by provider, location, and time of day. Run connection and transfer tests from your real work network before and after creating an order.
Use these guidelines to narrow your options; they are not fixed latency guarantees. Both configurations are listed for sale in all 4 data centers, with actual creation results returned in real time by the console.
Suitable for teams whose primary members are in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and nearby regions, and for development and build execution serving Southeast Asian operations.
Suitable for Japan-based development teams, mobile product teams serving the Japanese market, and projects that need build reviews with Northeast Asian members during the same working hours.
Suitable for Korean teams running remote development, continuous integration, release archiving, and automated builds, with easy same-day review of failed output by local members.
Suitable for teams distributed across multiple Asian regions that need centralized remote development and build delivery, as well as workflows that frequently return archives and test results.
This matrix shows the current product directory, not a time-stamped capacity snapshot. All directory combinations are marked “Available”; actual availability at order creation is returned in real time by the console.

SetMini applies the same 99.9% availability standard across all 4 data centers. Nodes operate normally 365 days a year; service events, user actions, network paths, and force majeure are assessed separately under the service terms.
Do not treat a single test on a marketing page as a long-term conclusion. Apply your team’s real network, project data volume, and working hours to the four steps below to narrow the choice to one primary node and one backup.
List the members who use the macOS graphical interface or command line each day, rather than only those who occasionally check build results. When main users are concentrated in Southeast Asia, test Singapore first; for users concentrated in Japan or Korea, prioritize Tokyo or Seoul respectively. When members span several Asian regions, include Hong Kong among your first choices.
Small code repositories and large media assets take different paths. Record the data volume for the initial pull, dependency downloads, cache restoration, archive uploads, and final-artifact transfers. If large assets move every day, test candidate nodes from the actual upload locations instead of checking only page-load speed.
If developers spend long periods in graphical interfaces, debuggers, and remote editors, prioritize session stability, input response, and reconnection behavior. If the main workloads are CI, transcoding, rendering, or overnight archiving, prioritize task dependencies, artifact targets, and failure handoff procedures.
Singapore and Hong Kong at UTC+8 share convenient working hours; Tokyo and Seoul at UTC+9 suit synchronized work by Japanese and Korean teams. Cross-time-zone teams should define who starts jobs, checks failed output, and collects artifacts, then record handoff details in build logs so the workflow does not stall after choosing the right node.
Start with the node closest to your main users, then complete a full validation using a real repository, actual office network, and regularly used remote client. Network paths change, so SetMini does not guarantee a fixed latency value.
Both configurations are available in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong. Orders are settled in USD, and actual availability of directory combinations is returned in real time by the console.
