Open DC is proud to be featured by BERNAMA, highlighting our strategic expansion into Malaysia’s northern region and our role in supporting ASEAN’s next phase of digital connectivity; through the data centres of PE2 in Bayan Lepas, Penang, and D8-1 in Delapan, Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah. 

The feature recognises Open DC’s focus on positioning the northern corridor as a strategic platform for AI-ready infrastructure, regional data traffic, and cross-border digital growth. As demand for faster, more resilient, and highly interconnected infrastructure continues to rise across ASEAN. Open DC sees Malaysia’s northern region as an important bridge linking the Indochina-Malaysia-Singapore digital corridor; proximity to Songkhla and Satun cable landing station and just 2pm away from Malaysia-Singapore Causeway! 

The BERNAMA article also highlights Open DC’s carrier-neutral ecosystem and the role of DE-CIX Malaysia (Google’s Verified Peering Partner) in enabling direct interconnection between networks, cloud providers, enterprises, and digital platforms. Participants connected through the ecosystem gain access to more than 142 active Autonomous System Numbers in Malaysia, with broader global reach through the DE-CIX interconnection platform.  

This coverage validates Open DC’s long-term vision to develop digital infrastructure with location advantage, interconnection strength, AI-readiness, and regional relevance for hyperscalers, content providers, ISPs enterprises and more to connect across borders, seamlessly.
