US-based EdgeConneX signed the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Cyberview earlier this month, acquiring an enterprise lot spanning approximately 30 acres to develop a data centre campus with a capacity of over 200MW within the purchased parcel in Cyberjaya, offering scalable capacity and power to meet a wide range of customer needs in the future.

The document was exchanged between Kamarul Ariffin Abdul Samad, Chief Executive Officer of Cyberview Sdn Bhd and Randy Brouckman, CEO and Co-founder, EdgeConneX. The ceremony was witnessed by YB Chang Lih Kang, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) at RekaScape, Cyberjaya, during the closing ceremony of InnoEx, a four-day event organised by Cyberview in conjunction with the Cyberjaya Innovation Week.

Kamarul Ariffin Abdul Samad, Chief Executive Officer, Cyberview Sdn Bhd, said, “EdgeConneX’s investment in Cyberjaya represents a significant achievement and positions the city as a prime destination for hyperscale data centre providers. Our commitment to fostering innovation, combined with Malaysia’s growing digital economy will further increase the demand for data centres to be based in our city. We also estimate technology investments of RM35 billion for the next five to 10 years which aligns with Cyberjaya’s position as the preferred technology investment location.”

Randy Brouckman, CEO and Co-founder, EdgeConneX, said, “As a trusted provider of data centre solutions to service providers and hyperscalers, EdgeConneX is committed to the society and economy within which we operate. The new campus in Cyberjaya will bring the necessary capacity and innovation to grow businesses in the tech hub, and meet increasing hyperscaler and enterprise customers needs. The campus is also expected to create various job opportunities across construction, management, functional and operational roles in the city.”

Cyberjaya recently saw an increase in data centre investments, cementing its role as the global technology hub. The city is currently home to 14 data centre facilities in Cyberjaya, contributing up to 75 per cent of the nation’s total data capacity.

The closing ceremony marks the conclusion of InnoEx, which brings together industry pioneers, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and technology enthusiasts to celebrate innovation and technology in Cyberjaya, in conjunction with its 26th anniversary.
