Digital Realty has announced its planned entry into the Malaysian market through the acquisition of CSF Advisers including the TelcoHub 1 data center in Cyberjaya. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2026 and includes an operational 1.5 megawatt facility along with adjacent land capable of supporting an additional 14 megawatts of IT load.
As the largest global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center and interconnection solutions, Digital Realty aims to use this site to reinforce its commitment to Malaysia’s growing digital infrastructure. TelcoHub 1 is recognized as one of Malaysia’s primary dark fiber interconnect hubs with more than 6,000 cores of regional and long-haul fiber landing at the site. It is among the most network-dense facilities in the country hosting over 40 network service providers and offering direct access to major cloud platforms such as AWS and Google. Upon completion, the campus will be integrated into PlatformDIGITAL which is Digital Realty’s global data center platform. This will allow customers to scale AI-driven workloads within a secure and highly interconnected environment.
The company plans to introduce its ServiceFabric orchestration solution to the campus to provide customers with global connectivity and flexible infrastructure management. This expansion builds on Digital Realty’s established presence in Singapore and Jakarta and offers complementary capacity for organizations with a regional footprint. Malaysia is in a sustained scale-up phase with total data center capacity projected to double from 1.26 gigawatts in 2025 to 2.53 gigawatts by 2030. Digital Realty has also pledged to prioritize sustainability by working with the Malaysian government to advance energy-efficient data center practices aligned with national environmental goals.
