Bridge Data Centres set to power Malaysia’s digital economy future
The hyperscale data centre provider says responsible infrastructure, sustainable technology and local skills are key to supporting the country’s growth.
Malaysia's digital economy future is set to be powered by Bridge Data Centres (BDC), which aims to build local expertise and empower the nation's workforce with advanced infrastructure skills. These data centres are the backbone of everyday digital interactions, processing, storing, and moving vast amounts of information 24/7. BDC, operating in Malaysia since 2018, has expanded its footprint across Cyberjaya, Johor, and Kuala Lumpur, with plans to double its local workforce as demand for digital services continues to grow.
Ensuring sustainable infrastructure is a priority for BDC, with CEO Benjamin Ong emphasizing the importance of incorporating green technology and creating lasting opportunities for Malaysian businesses, workers, and communities. The hyperscale data centre provider employs over 750 Malaysians and has developed technologies to transform effluent into high-grade water for cooling solutions, reducing reliance on potable water at its facilities.
By partnering with local suppliers and focusing on sustainability, BDC is working to strengthen Malaysia's digital expertise and position as a regional digital hub.
