Digital Realty has formally launched its Malaysia platform, accelerating its Southeast Asia expansion with plans to scale its Cyberjaya data centre footprint to approximately 32 megawatts (MW), driven by surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI), cloud and high-performance connectivity.
The platform integrates Digital Realty’s Malaysian assets into its global PlatformDIGITAL® ecosystem, positioning the country as a key interconnection hub linking regional markets and enabling low-latency, data-intensive workloads across enterprises and digital businesses.
Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said the investment by Digital Realty strengthens Malaysia’s position as a sovereign and interconnected digital infrastructure hub, while reinforcing its long-term AI ambitions.
“As demand for cloud, AI and data-driven services continues to accelerate, high-quality globally connected infrastructure will be critical in supporting innovation, attracting investment and enabling Malaysia’s digital economy to grow with resilience and scale,” he added.
He highlighted that such developments are key to advancing Malaysia’s aspiration of becoming a regional innovation hub and an AI-driven economy by 2030.
Anchored in Cyberjaya, the Malaysian platform comprises a three-site campus. KUL10 (formerly TelcoHub 1), a 1.5MW carrier-dense facility, will be upgraded to nearly double capacity by the fourth quarter of 2027. KUL11, a newly acquired 15MW data centre, is designed to support AI and high-performance computing workloads, while a third adjacent site will add a further 14MW, targeted for completion by mid-2028.
Together, the assets will form a tightly integrated, fibre-connected hub supported by more than 40 network service providers, creating a dense ecosystem of cloud and connectivity partners.
Digital Realty Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific Serene Nah said the rapid multi-site build-out reflects strong customer demand and reinforces Malaysia’s role as a strategic interconnection node within its Southeast Asia footprint, alongside Singapore and Jakarta.
“As digital adoption accelerates and AI-driven workloads become more distributed and latency-sensitive, customers require infrastructure that is scalable and deeply interconnected,” said Nah.
Customers in Malaysia will gain access to Digital Realty’s global platform of more than 300 data centres across 30-plus countries, enabling cross-border workload deployment and seamless integration across key regional hubs.
All facilities are designed with energy-efficient principles, supporting sustainable infrastructure growth while strengthening Malaysia’s role in regional data flows and next-generation digital services.
