The data centre facility is located at Bukit Jalil, a suburb in Kuala Lumpur, and is scheduled to go live in Q2 2022.
“We are delighted to have embarked on this expansion journey in Malaysia, which is witnessing an accelerated demand for quality and scalable data centre providers due to digital transformation and cloud adoption across the country,” said Lim Dz Shing, President of Bridge.
“The new data centre will combine with the two existing nearby facilities and form a hyperscale data centre cluster, to provide our clients with a highly scalable and reliable solution in a cost-effective manner.”
Bridge’s two existing data centres in Cyberjaya supports a total IT capacity of 20MW.
“We are extremely proud of Bridge Data Centres’ commitment and their continuous support in Malaysia as it will help propel Malaysia’s progression to becoming a regional data centre hub and reinforcing the nation’s position as the Heart of Digital ASEAN,” said MDEC’s Chief Executive Officer Pn. Surina Shukri.
“While more businesses in Malaysia have started to understand the value of data and the benefits it brings to the local economy, especially in terms of job creations and upskilling of the local workforces, MDEC will continue to inspire digitally-skilled Malaysians and digitally-powered businesses on their data transformation journey.”
Headquartered in Singapore, Bridge Data Centres is a subsidiary of Chindata Group, which was listed on the Nasdaq in September 2020.
