Vantage Data Centers Unveils KUL14 Facility in Malaysia
Vantage Data Centers has reached a significant milestone with the introduction of their latest facility, KUL14, at the Cyberjaya campus in Malaysia. This marks the completion of Vantage’s initial KUL1 campus, underscoring the strong demand for their services and the trust clients place in their commitment to excellence. The fully leased 16MW data center to a single customer is a testament to Vantage’s growing presence in the industry.
Sustainable Design at the Core of KUL14
Aligned with the Malaysian government’s vision for sustainable data center growth, KUL14 has been developed under Vantage’s “sustainable by design” framework. This approach prioritizes innovative design elements aimed at enhancing efficiency and operational performance. Notably, the closed-loop chilled water system implemented at the facility greatly minimizes water consumption, achieving an impressive water usage effectiveness (WUE) rating.
Commitment to Safety and Expansion in Southeast Asia
Vantage Data Centers upholds the highest environmental health and safety standards across all projects, a commitment that was rigorously followed during the construction of KUL14. With over four million work hours dedicated to the project, it was completed without a single safety incident, showcasing the company’s safety-first culture and the dedication of its workforce and construction partners.
Looking ahead, Vantage is focused on expanding its presence in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, which has emerged as a key data center hub in the region. The launch of KUL14 is part of a broader strategy that includes the development of a second Cyberjaya campus, offering a total capacity of over 400MW. This growth trajectory aims to support Malaysia’s digital transformation and economic prosperity.
