Originally announced in 2024, the first-ever Google data centre in Malaysia, located at Elmina Business Park in Sungai Buloh, is now operational. This was confirmed by the tech giant today, which has also announced that it is going to open 3 more data centres in Malaysia.
These new data centres are part of the RM61 billion (USD15 billion) investment, which is the largest that Google has made in its 15-year presence in Malaysia.
The tech giant today also revealed that the company is currently building 3 more data centres at these locations:
While Google did not reveal when exactly these new data centres will be operational, we do expect it to go live within the next 2 years based on the time it took Google to build the Elmina data centre. The facilities will power core consumer tools such as Google Search, Maps, and Chrome, while laying the compute groundwork for advanced AI deployments.
