The latest AirTrunk facility, at the southern end of the Malay Peninsula, will service domestic and international customers with a connection through to Singapore.
Macquarie-backed AirTrunk has made its first move into Malaysia with plans to create a multi-billion dollar facility in Johor Bahru at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, opposite Singapore.
The 150-megawatt facility, dubbed JHB1, will be AirTrunk’s ninth in the Asia-Pacific region as the company expands steadily from its Australian base. The first Malaysian facility will be built in stages, with the initial phases to provide 50MW of capacity. Construction is due to get under way soon and completion is expected in 2024. The data centre can be developed to a total capacity of more than 150MW, with further expansion based on customer demand.
AirTrunk is regularly touted as a potential IPO candidate. Three years ago, funds led by Macquarie Asset Managementa deal that valued the data centre owner at more than $3 billion at the time.
