Vantage Data Centers has broken ground on a new 256MW data center campus in Cyberjaya, Malaysia, marking a significant expansion of its Asia-Pacific operations. This development, announced on August 6, 2024, represents Vantage's largest APAC campus and underscores Malaysia's growing importance in the global digital economy.
Key highlights of the new KUL2 campus include:
35-acre site adjacent to Vantage's existing KUL1 campus
256MW of IT capacity at full build-out
Dedicated substation for enhanced flexibility and speed
Design supporting both cloud and high-density computing deployments
This expansion is part of Vantage's previously announced US$3 billion investment plan in Malaysia. Once completed, Vantage's total capacity in the country will reach 287MW, cementing its position as a leading data center provider in the region.
The new campus strategically aligns with Malaysia's digital ambitions, particularly in AI and smart manufacturing. As noted by government officials, this development will not only contribute to Malaysia's goal of creating 3,000 smart factories by 2030 but also position the country as a regional hub for AI-enabled manufacturing, fostering optimism for the future of Malaysia's digital economy.
Vantage has also secured a significant power agreement with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) for 500MVA-rated capacity, ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy supply for the new campus, providing reassurance about the project's sustainability.
This expansion strengthens Vantage's market position and contributes to Malaysia's digital infrastructure, supporting the country's vision to become a leading digital economy in Southeast Asia.
