Vantage Data Centers, a global provider of hyperscale data centre campuses, has announced that its fourth facility (KUL14) on the company’s first Cyberjaya campus in Malaysia is now operational, completing the development of the KUL1 campus.
Cyberjaya is a planned city with a science park as its core that forms part of Greater Kuala Lumpur. The Vantage Cyberjaya campus sits in the heart of Malaysia’s Multimedia Super Corridor near the Central Business District, taking advantage of the country’s most up-to-date infrastructure and located away from seismic zones and flooding areas.
The 16MW KUL14 data centre is fully leased to a single (apparently unidentified) customer.
In alignment with the local government’s focus on sustainable data centre development, KUL14 was constructed in accordance with Vantage’s “sustainable by design” blueprint with design innovations for efficiency and operational performance. Vantage employs a closed-loop chilled water system that requires minimal water, achieving virtually zero water usage effectiveness (WUE).
KUL14 required over 4 million work hours to complete, all, the company adds, without a single incident. And there’s more on the way, as Jeremy Deutsch, president, Vantage Data Centers, APAC, explains.
He says: “Malaysia has emerged as Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing data center 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.”
Vantage’s APAC portfolio includes 1GW of operational and planned IT capacity across Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
