Marking the completion of the KUL1 development, the new 16MW site is fully leased to a single customer and has been built to support Malaysia’s push for sustainable data centre growth.

KUL14 follows Vantage’s “sustainable by design” principles, including the use of a closed-loop chilled water system that enables nearly zero water usage effectiveness (WUE).

Additionally, construction of the facility required more than four million work hours and was completed without any safety incidents, the company revealed.

Vantage Data Centers president of APAC, Jeremy Deutsch, said: “We are thrilled to welcome our customer to KUL14 and support their expanding business.

“Malaysia has emerged as Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing data centre hub, and Vantage is actively expanding our footprint to grow with our customers, including the ongoing development of a second campus in Cyberjaya providing over 400MW of total capacity. We are dedicated to delivering sustainable digital infrastructure to accelerate Malaysia’s digitalisation and contribute to its economic growth.”

Vantage now has 1GW of operational and planned IT capacity across Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
