Low-latency Infra for AI, Cloud & Growth

In today’s hyper-connected digital economy, growth depends on more than cloud adoption. It depends on the infrastructure beneath it. 

As AI workloads become more intensive, cloud-native platforms become the default, and regional digital services demand faster response times, enterprises need data centre infrastructure that is built for performance, resilience and scalability. 

AI-ready infrastructure for high-density compute 

Modern AI and cloud workloads require more than traditional colocation. They need high-density power, advanced cooling and infrastructure designed to support continuous, compute-intensive operations. 

Open DC’s PE2 facility in Penang is built for this next generation of demand. Located in Bayan Lepas Technology Park, PE2 is designed to support AI, cloud computing and high-density workloads, with scalable power capacity of up to 40MW and rack power density of up to 150kW. The facility also supports advanced air, chilled water and direct-to-chip cooling to maintain performance and efficiency for demanding environments. 

This matters because AI infrastructure is no longer measured by space alone. It is measured by how well a facility can deliver power, manage heat, support dense racks and keep workloads running with consistency.

Strategic locations for regional growth 

Data centre performance is not only determined by what happens inside the facility. Location plays a critical role in how quickly businesses can reach users, partners and cloud ecosystems across borders. 

Open DC’s JB1 and JB2 facilities in Johor Bahru are strategically positioned near the Singapore Causeway. As Singapore’s twin anchor, we deliver ultra-low latency and unapparelled agility across both markets- like a triangle, JB1, JB2 and the Causeway is just 2km from each other.  

In the north, Open DC’s D8-1 facility in Kedah strengthens the Malaysia-Thailand telecommunications corridor. Located within the Delapan Special Border Economic Zone, D8-1 provides AI-ready infrastructure, 47,000 sqft Phase 1 space and low-latency access through DE-CIX Internet Exchange. It is also located less than 120 km from four significant cable landing stations at Satun-Songkhla-Georgetown-Penang that host 16 submarine cables. 

Together, these locations create a stronger digital footprint across Peninsular Malaysia, supporting enterprises that need resilient infrastructure, regional reach and cross-border connectivity.

Low-latency peering and direct cloud access 

For modern applications, latency is a business issue. A few milliseconds can affect user experience, transaction speed, application performance and service reliability. 

Here, Internet Exchanges plays a critical role. By allowing networks to exchange traffic directly, Internet Exchanges reduce unnecessary routing through distant networks and help keep data paths shorter, faster and more predictable. 

Open DC hosts DE-CIX JBIX Malaysia, forming part of an advanced carrier-neutral Internet Exchange ecosystem that delivers ultra-low-latency, high-capacity interconnection across Malaysia and Singapore. Through DE-CIX JBIX Malaysia and, businesses can access resilient peering, cloud and content platforms, and regional traffic exchange across key hubs. 

For enterprises running mission-critical cloud workloads, Cloud Direct services add another layer of performance and control. Instead of relying on the public internet, businesses can connect securely to global and regional cloud providers through dedicated private paths. 

This enables lower latency, stronger security, more consistent performance and better control for sensitive applications, including AI platforms, financial systems, manufacturing workloads, content delivery and enterprise cloud environments.

Building the foundation for AI, cloud and growth

The next phase of digital growth in Southeast Asia will not be driven by compute alone. It will depend on the right combination of AI-ready data centres, high-density power, advanced cooling, Internet Exchange access, direct cloud connectivity and strategic cross-border locations. 

For enterprises, this means choosing infrastructure that can scale with demand. For cloud providers and telcos, it means locating closer to users and regional network corridors. For AI-driven industries, it means deploying workloads in facilities that are ready for higher power density, faster interconnection and long-term resilience. 

Low-latency infrastructure is no longer optional. It is the foundation for competitive digital growth.
