KUALA LUMPUR: Yondr Group has announced its entry into Malaysia with the development of a 200 megawatt (MW) hyperscale campus on 72.8 acres acquired from TPM Technopark Sdn Bhd.
The land is strategically located in Sedenak Tech Park, a flagship data centre complex spanning 700 acres of land in Johor, Malaysia.
The hyperscale campus will be developed across multiple phases and will deliver a total capacity of 200MW when fully completed, with the first phase scheduled for delivery in 2024.
With access to at least 600MW of capacity, dark fibre connectivity, scalable utilities and infrastructure, Sedenak Tech Park is home to some of the largest data and cloud players within the Southeast Asia region.
Yondr chief executive officer Dave Newitt said Malaysia is a significant part of its expansion plans within Southeast Asia.
Newitt said the company's ability to secure this critical location in Sedenak Tech Park complements its presence in Jakarta, Indonesia and further bolsters Yondr's strategic presence in this high growth market.
"Johor is close to other key data centre metros.
"This includes Singapore, which offers valuable interconnectivity routes, representing a true benefit for our clients, especially in combination with the scalability in meeting requirements of power and land," he said.
Meanwhile, TPM Technopark chairman Datuk Sri Akmal Ahmad said the company values Yondr's strategic decision to invest in Sedenak Tech Park as a testament of their confidence in its location and offerings as a world-class data hub for the region.
Akmal said the sheer scale of growing data consumption makes the development of hyperscale data centre infrastructures a compelling international and regional opportunity for both investors and operators.
"This exposure to Yondr's well-established partnerships with major hyperscale facilities will further fuel our technical infrastructure development dedicated to the nation and the region's fast-growing digital economy," he said.
