Located adjacent to Vantage\u2019s existing campus (KUL1) in Cyberjaya, the campus will be sited on nearly 35 acres and will include 10 facilities across 256,000 square meters (2.75 million square feet). Strategically located to provide low-latency connectivity to major cities in the region \u2013 including Singapore, Bangkok and Jakarta \u2013 the state-of-the-art mega campus will be built to the highest standards of performance, reliability and security, with multiple layers of physical and virtual security measures in place to protect against threats. The first facility is planned to open its doors in the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, Vantage is expanding its KUL1 campus with a fourth 16MW facility that is currently under development. Combined, both campuses will deliver a total of 287MW of IT capacity to meet the demands of hyperscalers, cloud providers and large enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVantage has been expanding our footprint in Malaysia since we entered the dynamic Asia-Pacific market,\u201d said Giles Proctor, Chief Operating Officer of Vantage\u2019s APAC business. \u201cOur positive experience in Cyberjaya has encouraged us to take further steps to advance the city\u2019s digital infrastructure by building our largest hyperscale campus in the region. With exciting opportunities ahead, Vantage is committed to driving innovation, sustainability and growth in the region to meet the demands of both global and local customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McFeeters, US Ambassador to Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are honoured that Malaysia is the location of choice for industry experts like Vantage to establish their data centres, \u201c said Datuk Wira Arham Abdul Rahman, Chief Executive Officer of Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA). \u201cThe development of KUL2 as Vantage\u2019s second data centre campus serves as proof that Malaysia has emerged as the most desired destination for data centre investments in the Asia Pacific region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are confident that Vantage\u2019s efforts will assume a crucial role in propelling Malaysia to achieve its goal of becoming a digital nation and realising a 22.6% GDP growth from the digital economy by 2025. As the foremost provider of comprehensive investment solutions and a strategic investment partner in Malaysia, MIDA is dedicated to supporting Vantage\u2019s success and furthering the country\u2019s position as a prominent digital hub in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
