Malaysia’s data center story is largely a Johor story: since Singapore imposed a moratorium on new facilities between 2019 and 2022, hyperscaler expansion spilled over the causeway into Johor and the Klang Valley, and Johor’s live supply has since averaged roughly 145% annual growth from 2019 to 2024 on the back of a development pipeline exceeding 5.7GW. Cyberjaya, part of the Multimedia Super Corridor near Kuala Lumpur, has grown into the country’s single largest cluster, with more than 22 existing and 9 upcoming data centers as of a late-2025 market report. Nationally, Malaysia is estimated to host around 51 operational colocation data centers, mostly built to Tier III standards, with market revenue put at roughly $6.14 billion in 2025 and projected to reach $11.40 billion by 2031. The most striking recent development is YTL Power’s completion in October 2025, in partnership with Nvidia, of what the company describes as Malaysia’s first Nvidia-powered AI data center, running liquid-cooled GB200 Grace Blackwell GPUs at the 1,640-acre YTL Green Data Center Park in Kulai, Johor.

AI Data Centers in Malaysia

Malaysia's clearest AI-infrastructure milestone is YTL Power International's completion, announced in October 2025, of the country's first Nvidia-powered AI data center at its Green Data Center Park in Kulai, Johor — a 1,640-acre, 600MW campus running liquid-cooled Nvidia GB200 NVL72 Grace Blackwell GPUs. The facility hosts the newly formed YTL AI Cloud, described as deploying "one of the world's most advanced supercomputers," reportedly exceeding 300 exaflops of AI compute, and is being used to train Malaysia's first sovereign large language model, Ilmu, for government and public-sector use. The project sits within a broader $2.36 billion YTL–Nvidia partnership and is powered substantially by on-site solar capacity, while separately Equinix, Microsoft, Google, and Telekom Malaysia/Nxera have all announced AI-ready or liquid-cooled campuses across Johor and Cyberjaya.

Common Questions

Which city or region has the most data centers in Malaysia?

Cyberjaya, part of Kuala Lumpur's Multimedia Super Corridor, is described in market reports as Malaysia's leading data center hub, with more than 22 existing facilities and 9 more under development as of late 2025, spanning colocation, hyperscale, and dedicated cloud-region infrastructure.

Is there AI-specific data center infrastructure in Malaysia?

Yes. YTL Power International completed Malaysia's first Nvidia-powered AI data center in October 2025 at its 1,640-acre Green Data Center Park in Kulai, Johor, using liquid-cooled Nvidia GB200 NVL72 Grace Blackwell GPUs as part of a broader $2.36 billion (RM10 billion) YTL–Nvidia partnership; the site also hosts the YTL AI Cloud/supercomputer and runs on largely solar-generated power.

Does Malaysia require data to be stored locally?

Malaysia does not impose strict data-residency requirements, but the Personal Data Protection Act (as amended, with cross-border transfer provisions effective April 1, 2025) restricts moving personal data abroad unless the destination country has "substantially similar" laws or an "adequate level of protection," typically assessed via a Transfer Impact Assessment.

Are there restrictions on AI chips (GPUs) being brought into or shipped out of Malaysia?

Yes. Effective July 14, 2025, Malaysia's Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry required a Strategic Trade Permit, with 30-day advance notice, for exporting, transshipping, or transiting high-performance US-origin AI chips (including GPUs and TPUs), a move aimed at closing gaps exploited to reroute Nvidia chips toward China.

Which major global cloud and colocation providers operate in Malaysia?

Named players active in the market include Equinix (with JH1 and KL1 live, KL2 and JH2 announced), Microsoft (which launched its Malaysia West cloud region and announced a second region, Southeast Asia 3, in Johor in November 2025), Google (a planned $2 billion facility in Elmina, Selangor), Oracle, NTT Global Data Centers, ST Telemedia (STT), AIMS Data Centre (DigitalBridge), Telekom Malaysia's TM One, Bridge Data Centres, EdgeConneX, Princeton Digital Group, STACK Infrastructure, GDS, and YTL Power.

One shared, company-wide contact — not tied to any one specific facility below.

Facility location(s) — the physical data center's location, not your company headquarters or a sales office. A company HQ and its actual facility can be in different countries.

A second facility can be in an entirely different country or state — each one gets its own full location, not just a city.
