More than 500MW of AI-ready data centre capacity is planned across EdgeConneX campuses in Cyberjaya and Johor, according to sponsored Tech Wire Asia material that described rack designs from 20kW to 600kW+.

The account said the Malaysian sites are being built for GPU-intensive workloads, liquid-cooling requirements and modular power blocks.

It also described a closed-loop cooling design for the two Malaysian campuses.

Cyberjaya And Johor Add 500MW+ Of AI Data Centre Capacity

The sponsored material said EdgeConneX is building two hyperscale campuses in Malaysia, with Cyberjaya and Johor designed for AI training, inference and hybrid cloud workloads.

The facilities are described as supporting racks that can start at 20kW to 200kW and scale to 600kW+ as GPU deployments expand.

Cyberjaya is anchored by a 275kV substation, which the material described as the first of its kind in the greater Kuala Lumpur region.

The same account said the substation would support phase one in Q1 2027 and that data halls can be served by one or multiple 12MW power blocks.

Tech Wire Asia's sponsored material said older data centres commonly handle 10-15kW per rack, while modern AI training clusters need 50-100kW.

The same material said next-generation GPU architectures are moving towards 200-600kW and that EdgeConneX designed higher ceilings, reinforced floors, electrical distribution and mechanical systems for 20-30-year facility lifespans.

Johor adds another 180MW of planned capacity, with phase one also slated for 2027.

Tech Wire Asia's sponsored material said the site is positioned for customers that need proximity to Singapore while using Malaysia's cost structure and regulatory environment.

Cooling Design Claims Daily Water Savings

The material described both facilities as using closed-loop, non-evaporative heat-rejection technology rather than water-intensive evaporative cooling.

It listed estimated daily water savings of 9 million litres at Cyberjaya and 7.6 million litres at Johor, or 16.6 million litres across both sites.

EdgeConneX also cited a water-neutrality target across its portfolio by 2030.

After operations start, the sponsored account said the Malaysian sites are scheduled for UL 2799 certification within 18-24 months, following zero-waste-to-landfill certification at facilities including Jakarta.

Those environmental and performance claims remain company-linked.

The account did not include measured power-usage effectiveness for the Malaysian campuses, third-party operating data, or named hyperscale customers for the first phases.

NVIDIA DGX Certification Frames The GPU Workload

Tech Wire Asia's sponsored material described EdgeConneX as an NVIDIA DGX certified partner and said the infrastructure meets NVIDIA reference standards for power delivery, cooling compatibility and network architecture.

The article did not name specific DGX customers, cluster orders or server vendors for the Malaysian sites.

The account said EdgeConneX has 90+ data centres globally and gigawatt-scale operations across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

The sponsored account said local teams operate across EdgeConneX's Asia-Pacific facilities, with regional and global support where needed.

It listed Malaysia workforce and education programmes planned for the second half of 2026, but did not give project budgets or hiring targets for those programmes.

EdgeConneX has not disclosed signed tenants, contracted capacity, facility-level PUE results, construction costs or customer deployment dates for the Cyberjaya and Johor campuses.
