This new data centre campus will see the construction of two buildings on more than three acres of land, delivering approximately 20MW of IT load.

To be known as Cyberjaya DC.2, this first building will have a Rated-4 premium data centre certification, which meets global standards for sustainability and security.

The campus will serve local and international banks, financial institutions, government organisations, and other mission-critical companies and is set to become operational by next year.

Named STT Kuala Lumpur 1, the second building will cater to the hyperscale market. Phase one of construction is set to begin in the coming months and will be finished by 2025.

Basis Bay executive chair Dato’ Praba Thiagarajah said: “This partnership is strategically positioned to meet the volume and scale requirements of hyperscalers while simultaneously delivering the premium, super-high availability needs of financial institutions and the like.

“This partnership will also emphasise the much-needed local participation and control, thus addressing data sovereignty concerns.”

This strategic JV is an exclusive domestic direct investment-foreign direct investment collaboration between Basis Bay and STT GDC.

STT GDC South-East Asia CEO Lionel Yeo said: “This strategic venture will not only add another crucial market to our global data centre platform but also reinforce our expanding foothold within Southeast Asia, deepening our roots in this dynamic high-growth region.”
