Telekom Malaysia + Singtel = Data Centre in Johor

TM DC Educity Sdn Bhd (wholly owned unit of TM) has entered into a joint venture agreement with Nxera (wholly owned unit of Singtel) to establish a a JV entity named ST Dynamo DC, which intend to build a platform of greenfield data centre facilities in Johor.


The two leading telecommunication and digital technology companies in Southeast Asia, are teaming up together, aiming to tap the high market demand of data centre services. 💫💫💫

As we all know, the demand is propelled by, among others, rapid digitalisation and increased adoption of emerging technologies such as cloud computing, AI and e-commerce.

Another data centre project?

Embarking on the Proposed Joint Venture enhances TM’s long-term data centre strategy, strengthens TM’s position as one of the market leaders in Malaysia’s data centre landscape and is in line with TM’s aspiration of Pioneer, Win and Revitalise 2030 to become a digital powerhouse by 2030.

The Proposed Data Centre will be an addition to TM’s existing seven (7) data centres across Malaysia, including keystone locations in the Klang Valley and Iskandar Puteri, Johor. 👀💬

The execution of the JVA between the leading integrated telecommunication and digital technology companies of Malaysia and Singapore enables both TM and Singtel to leverage on each other’s strengths and proven track record in the data centre business, fostering technological advancement and infrastructure development for greater innovation, entrepreneurship and business excellence across borders.

Who is Nxera?

Nxera, Singtel’s regional data centre platform, is one of the largest data centre operators in Singapore and is currently constructing its largest data centre to date in Tuas, Singapore with a capacity of 58 MW. 😀💢

This new data centre will be based on Singtel’s 4th generation design with high power density, yet sustainable and hyper-connected, and is optimised to manage graphics processing unit clusters for artificial intelligence (“AI”) workloads. 💋💋💋

Nxera has also formed partnerships to develop state-of-the-art AI-ready data centres in Indonesia and Thailand which will boost its total pipeline capacity to more than 200 MW from its current operational capacity of 62 MW in Singapore.

The Proposed Data Centre will lay a robust foundation for TM to capture the rising demand and opportunities from the next generation of AI application providers, hyperscalers, over-the-top service providers, multinationals and enterprises.
