KUL2 covers an area of 35 acres and is located next to Vantage’s existing campus (KUL1). It will feature ten facilities, covering 256,000m².

It will offer low-latency connectivity to nearby cities, including Singapore, Bangkok and Jakarta.

Furthermore, a fourth 16MW facility is being developed by the company as part of the expansion of the KUL1 campus.

The KUL1 and KUL2 campuses will be able to produce 287MW of IT capacity in total to fulfil the demands of hyperscalers, cloud providers and large enterprises.

Vantage Data Centers currently houses seven campuses across the region that are either operational or under development.

Vantage APAC COO Giles Proctor said: “Vantage has been expanding our footprint in Malaysia since we entered the dynamic Asia-Pacific market. Our positive experience in Cyberjaya has encouraged us to take further steps to advance the city’s digital infrastructure by building our largest hyperscale campus in the region.”

The first facility is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2025.
