NEXTDC intends to market its services in KL1 through its existing ecosystem of more than 770 technology partners, including global hyperscale customers, a considerable number of whom already operate in Malaysia, as well as new enterprises and government customers. For local Australian businesses, the new data centre will mean a trusted and proven Australian partner to support them in their expansion ambitions into the region. Trade between Australia and Malaysia is stable and mutually beneficial, but the nation’s digital capabilities have been less well known until now. Sanda says there is a strong pipeline of Australian businesses in the technology and digitalisation sectors looking to make investments in Malaysia or expand existing operations.
Et atque voluptatem earum perferendis. Voluptatem placeat dolorem. Ad reiciendis in possimus quasi.
To be known as “KL1”, it will be located on 10 hectares of land in the heart of the metropolitan region, Klang Valley – an important economic centre of Malaysia.
Upon completion in late 2025, and over the centre’s 5–10-year development, NEXTDC will invest over 3 billion Malaysian Ringgit (A$1 billion) and commit to digital skilling and educational initiatives in the country and region.
It will be Malaysia’s first Uptime Institute Tier IV certified data centre facility above 5MW, with the capacity to host up to 65MW of IT critical power and direct cloud interconnection capability.
A data centre is a nexus for cloud service providers. It manages the data exchange and streams content making for a smoother user experience.
Established in 2010 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) the same year, the company has 12 operating facilities in Australia, with 10 more under development or at the planning stage including Tokyo, Auckland and Port Hedland in Western Australia.
NEXTDC’s data centres are certified to the highest international standards for data centre performance, including the Uptime Institute’s Certifications of Tier IV Design Documents, Tier IV Constructed Facility and Tier IV Gold Operational Sustainability.
NEXTDC is 100% carbon-neutral for corporate operations, certified under the Australian Government's Climate Active program. The company’s sustainability targets include 100% renewable energy and zero waste, supported by design and operational innovation.
