Malaysia – Bridge Data Centres (BDC), a global provider of hyperscale data centre solutions, has announced its expansion to Cyberjaya, Malaysia, with the development of its third data centre, MY02.
The MY02 development aims to meet evolving business needs and support Malaysia’s digital transformation journey. It also reflects BDC’s commitment to providing scalable, resilient, and neutral data centres in Malaysia and the Asia Pacific.
Collaborating with Cyberview Sdn Bhd, the project marks the development of the largest data centre yet and is expected to increase IT capacity by about 87 MW over three phases, with each phase involving the construction of a three-story data centre.
