Malaysia’s data center market is entering a growth phase, with around 40 operational facilities and nearly 50 more in the pipeline. According to Blackridge Research’s Malaysia Data Center Database, total data center capacity is expected to reach 4-5 GW by 2026, with upcoming developments alone contributing close to 3 GW. This surge is primarily supported by hyperscale cloud, AI workloads, and multi-billion-dollar investments.

Leading this transformation are key data center companies in Malaysia, including Telekom Malaysia (TM One), Bridge Data Centres, NTT Global Data Centers, AIMS Data Centre, and EdgeConneX. These companies are building hyperscale, AI-ready campuses, strengthening interconnection ecosystems, and expanding edge infrastructure across key regions such as Cyberjaya, Johor, and Kuala Lumpur.

In this article, we explore the top data center companies in Malaysia for 2026, highlighting their infrastructure capabilities, expansion strategies, and role in shaping the country’s emergence as a regional AI and cloud powerhouse.

List of the Top 5 Largest Data Center Companies in Malaysia (according to the number of data centers)

TM One / Telekom Malaysia

Telekom Malaysia is Malaysia’s leading integrated telecommunications and digital infrastructure provider, offering enterprise-grade data center, cloud, and connectivity solutions across the country and Southeast Asia. Through its enterprise arm TM One, the company operates a network of carrier-neutral, Tier III-certified data centers located in key hubs such as Cyberjaya, Iskandar Puteri, and Klang Valley, delivering mission-critical colocation, cloud, and disaster recovery services.

TM differentiates itself by combining data center infrastructure with end-to-end digital services, including cloud, cybersecurity, managed hosting, and interconnection, supported by an extensive submarine cable and fiber network that ensures low-latency regional connectivity. Its infrastructure is further strengthened by seven regional edge facilities across Malaysia, enabling high-performance computing and bringing content closer to end users. 

In May 2025, TM also advanced its sustainability strategy by signing a Power Purchase Agreement with Gentari Renewables to deploy 4.3 MW of solar capacity across six sites, generating 4.82 GWh annually and significantly reducing carbon emissions.

Bridge Data Centres (Chindata Group)

Bridge Data Centres is a Singapore-headquartered hyperscale data center company backed by Bain Capital, focused on delivering large-scale, AI-ready data center solutions across the Asia Pacific. The company specializes in hyperscale data centers, build-to-suit, and colocation facilities designed to support cloud-first and AI-driven enterprise strategies, with a strong presence in Malaysia, Thailand, and India.

BDC has established itself as one of the region’s top hyperscale developers, with over 400 MW of operational capacity and more than 700 MW contracted with hyperscale clients. Its total planned capacity exceeds 1.5 GW across existing sites, with a long-term vision to reach around 3 GW globally by 2030.

In Malaysia, BDC’s flagship MY06 campus in Johor marked the state’s first hyperscale data center project. The company has invested over USD 2 billion in the Malaysian market and continues to expand aggressively, supported by strong financing and partnerships. In March 2026, BDC announced a strategic investment of SGD 3-5 billion in Singapore to develop AI-ready infrastructure.

NTT Global Data Centers (NTT Ltd.)

NTT Global Data Centers is a leading global data center operator with a strong presence in Malaysia, where it has been operating for over 25 years. The company’s flagship campus, Rimba Digital (Digital Forest), is located in Cyberjaya. The 40 MW campus comprises four Rated-3 facilities, Mori (CBJ3), Momiji (CBJ4), Yuki (CBJ5), and Sakura (CBJ6), each designed to deliver resilient, energy-efficient operations for enterprise and hyperscale clients.

Strategically positioned within Malaysia’s Multimedia Super Corridor, the Cyberjaya campus offers connectivity, reliable power infrastructure, and low-risk geography, making it ideal for mission-critical operations and disaster recovery, particularly for financial institutions. Its proximity to key transport hubs, along with secure access to emergency services, further enhances its appeal as a regional data hub.

Globally, NTT is rapidly scaling its footprint to meet rising AI data center and cloud demand, with plans to double its data center capacity to 4 GW in the near term and exceed 5 GW within five years.

AIMS Data Centre (DigitalBridge)

AIMS Data Centre is a leading provider of colocation data center, edge, and interconnection services in Southeast Asia, with a strong presence in Malaysia’s digital infrastructure ecosystem. Its flagship facility, Menara AIMS, serves as the country’s primary carrier hotel and hosts the Malaysia Internet Exchange (MyIX), enabling high-density interconnection between telecom operators, hyperscalers, CDNs, and enterprises.

Backed by DigitalBridge, AIMS is rapidly expanding its footprint with a new hyperscale data center campus in Cyberjaya. The upcoming facility, spread across 10 acres, will deliver up to 200 MW of capacity with an investment of approximately RM4 billion (USD 1 billion) and is scheduled for completion in 2027. 

This builds on AIMS’ existing 50 MW Cyberjaya data center and follows the early completion of Cyberjaya Block 3 in July 2025, bringing its total potential capacity in the Klang Valley to over 100 MW.

EdgeConneX

EdgeConneX is one of the largest global data center operators focused on delivering edge and hyperscale infrastructure, with a growing footprint in Malaysia. The company’s strategy centers on bringing compute closer to end users through low-latency, high-performance facilities that support cloud, content delivery, and enterprise applications across Southeast Asia.

In Malaysia, EdgeConneX operates across key locations including Kuala Lumpur (CBD), Cyberjaya, Bukit Jalil, and Johor. Its Cyberjaya campus is the largest, with a current capacity of 67 MW and planned expansion up to 200 MW across a 200,000 m² site supported by a 275 kV substation and multiple data center buildings. 

Other facilities include a 6 MW CBD Kuala Lumpur site (scaling to 17 MW), a 22.4 MW Bukit Jalil facility (expandable to 67 MW), and a Johor campus with 36 MW capacity growing to 160 MW. These facilities are designed with N+1 redundancy and supported by strong fiber connectivity and peering options, enabling resilient access to local and international networks.

Malaysian Data Center Market 2026

Malaysia’s data center growth is anchored by strong geographic clusters and large-scale hyperscale investments. Johor has emerged as the fastest-growing hub, with areas like Sedenak, Kulai, and Nusajaya Tech Park collectively reaching around 1.6 GW of supply and potentially surpassing Singapore in total capacity in the coming years. 

At the same time, Cyberjaya remains the country’s traditional data center core, hosting over 20 operational facilities and multiple new developments, while the Klang Valley continues to serve as a dense interconnection and enterprise hub.

Major upcoming projects are accelerating this growth. Global hyperscalers are investing heavily, including multi-billion-dollar cloud and AI infrastructure expansions by Google and Microsoft. Large-scale campuses from developers such as AirTrunk, Princeton Digital Group, and YTL Corporation are introducing AI-ready designs with high-density racks, liquid cooling, and integrated renewable energy. 

These developments are supported by government incentives, green data center guidelines, and increasing adoption of solar and sustainable power solutions, reinforcing Malaysia’s position as a leading destination for digital infrastructure investment in Asia.

Here is the list of upcoming new data center projects in Malaysia:

Conclusion

Malaysia’s data center market’s growth is supported by hyperscale demand, AI workloads, and strong policy support, with leading operators scaling infrastructure to meet future capacity needs. While this list highlights the top five companies shaping the market today, several other major players are also expanding aggressively, including AirTrunk, DayOne (GDS Holdings), Equinix, NTT Global Data Centers, and emerging local players such as MN Holdings.
