Vantage announces the opening of its second data center in Cyberjaya, Malaysia

Vantage Data Centers is expanding its presence in Malaysia, with its second data center in Cyberjaya. The facility, a four-story data center dubbed KUL12, will provide 10MW of capacity across 194,000 square feet of space when combined with its existing KUL11.

Construction on the data center began in May 2021 and was delivered on schedule. Accompanying this new facility will also be a third facility (KUL13) on the same four-acre campus, offering an additional 5MW of capacity. This third data center is expected to go live in the first half of 2023.

Speaking about the company’s investment in new developments in Malaysia, Brian Groen, president of Vantage’s APAC business, said Vantage is serving “growing demand” and that it is “supporting the country’s aspiration to become a digital economic hub.” He added: “We are excited to open the doors to this additional data center while continuing our expansion and investment in greater Kuala Lumpur.”

Mahadhir Aziz, CEO of Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), commented: “We are thrilled to have Vantage Data Centers be part of our thriving digital economy. Their presence here is a sign of continued confidence towards Malaysia’s robust and enabling data center ecosystem, digitally skilled talent, and world-class infrastructure.”
