These advancements underline Malaysia's role as a key data center growth market in ASEAN, bolstered by sustained corporate investments and progressive regulatory frameworks.
"With major global players like Microsoft and Google investing billions to establish cloud regions, and NVIDIA partnering with YTL Power International Berhad on a US$4.3 billion AI Cloud Data Center, Malaysia is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Investments by companies such as Equinix and ST Telemedia further highlight the country's attractiveness as a data center growth hub," said Dato' Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and CEO of VCI Global. "Our partnership with Hexatoff Group supports Malaysia's vision for innovation and sustainable growth, reinforcing our commitment to advancing AI and digital infrastructure in the region."
