en.Wedoany.com Reported - Digital Realty, a digital real estate company, announced the expansion of its footprint in Cyberjaya, Malaysia, with plans to add 32 megawatts (MW) of capacity to meet the growing demand from cloud service providers and telecommunications operators in Southeast Asia.

This expansion is part of the company's growth plan in the Asia-Pacific region and integrates Malaysia into a global platform spanning over 300 data centers across more than 30 countries. As AI applications, cloud services, and data-intensive workloads place higher demands on networks, operators are seeking locations beyond traditional hubs that can offer scale, resilience, and low-latency connectivity—conditions that Digital Realty believes Malaysia meets.

For telecommunications operators, this development creates another major interconnection point within a region where cross-border connectivity demand continues to grow.

At the core of this investment is a three-site campus in Cyberjaya, with each site connected via dedicated fiber infrastructure. The first facility, KUL10 (formerly TelcoHub 1), is already operational and currently provides 1.5 MW of IT capacity. Digital Realty plans to upgrade this site to global standards, with capacity expected to nearly double by the fourth quarter of 2027. The second facility, KUL11, is a newly acquired site offering 15 MW of IT capacity, designed specifically to support AI and high-performance computing workloads, incorporating energy and water efficiency concepts. The third facility is planned on an adjacent 1.6-acre plot, expected to add another 14 MW of capacity when it becomes operational in mid-2028, aimed at supporting hybrid colocation environments and AI-ready deployments. These three facilities will form an interconnected campus supported by over 40 network service providers, creating a dense ecosystem for cloud service providers and enterprises.

YB Gobind Singh Deo, Malaysia's Minister of Digital, stated that Digital Realty's investment is a significant step in strengthening Malaysia as a sovereign, interconnected, and sustainable digital infrastructure hub, helping to support innovation, attract investment, and enable Malaysia's digital economy to grow with resilience and scale. He also noted that such investments in advanced digital infrastructure are crucial to supporting Malaysia's AI ambitions and strengthening its position as a regional innovation hub.

Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Digital Realty Asia-Pacific, said that the company's presence in Malaysia is an important milestone in its Southeast Asian expansion. She pointed out that as digital applications accelerate and AI-driven workloads become distributed and latency-sensitive, customers need scalable and deeply interconnected infrastructure. She noted that Malaysia plays a key role as an interconnection hub in the regional landscape, enabling customers to deploy and manage workloads across markets. By integrating the Cyberjaya facilities into the PlatformDIGITAL platform, the company's expanded connectivity community will cover key hubs such as Singapore and Jakarta. The campus will also connect customers to Digital Realty's PlatformDIGITAL ecosystem and ServiceFabric interconnection platform, allowing organizations to establish infrastructure deployment connections across regional markets.

For existing customers of TelcoHub 1, transitioning to Digital Realty's global portfolio means access to a larger interconnection ecosystem. Billy Lee, Chairman of CSF Advisers Sdn Bhd and Advisor to Digital Realty Malaysia, stated that TelcoHub 1 was designed to be one of the most connected data center facilities in Malaysia, trusted by a diverse ecosystem of enterprises, operators, and cloud providers. Becoming part of Digital Realty allows the facility to further integrate into an interconnection platform covering over 300 data centers globally, bringing immediate value to customers, including access to a broader interconnection ecosystem and the ability to expand infrastructure beyond Malaysia with greater flexibility. He added that the local team remains central to this journey, now strengthened by Digital Realty's global expertise, operational discipline, and long-term investment approach.

As the campus expands, Digital Realty also plans to grow its local workforce. This project adds a strategically connected location to Southeast Asia's digital infrastructure landscape, strengthening the network connectivity that underpins AI and enterprise services in the region.
