Malaysia-based data center firm AIMS Data Center Sdn Bhd (AIMS) has completed its Cyberjaya Block 3 in the country ahead of schedule.

The firm said in a statement on last Thursday that the new block adds substantial capacity, bringing its total potential capacity to more than 100 MW in the Klang Valley and positions it as the operator with the largest data center capacity in Cyberjaya today.

Originally slated for completion next year, Block 3 was delivered ahead of schedule due to accelerated planning, strong customer backing, and robust market demand.

“This achievement is a clear indication of market confidence that reflects our deliberate strategy to build in alignment with confirmed demand, rather than speculatively,” said its Chief Executive Officer Chiew Kok Hin.

He noted AIMS is seeing surging demand from its strong international customer pipeline, driven by the region’s rapid digitalization, the rise of cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, and Malaysia’s growing appeal as a strategic data center destination.

According to him, hyperscalers, enterprises, and digital service providers are increasingly turning to Malaysia for our nation’s competitive cost structure, abundant land and power resources, supportive government policies, and proximity to regional markets.

“Cyberjaya Block 3’s early readiness is a testament to our operational agility, the trust our customers place in us, and the unwavering support of government stakeholders,” he added.

Backed by regional telecommunications service provider, Time dotCom and DigitalBridge, AIMS is also progressively expanding its presence beyond Malaysia, while maintaining its commitment to advancing Malaysia’s digital infrastructure, creating hundreds of skilled jobs and training local talent in critical technical fields along the way.

To date, AIMS provides gainful direct employment to over 200 people across its various facilities, providing them with high-value technical expertise and career development opportunities and there are more than 100 people working indirectly on its operational and in construction facilities.

Since DigitalBridge’s acquisition of a stake in AIMS and formation of a partnership with existing shareholder Time dotCom in 2022, AIMS has raised over MYR 2 billion ($470 million) of debt and equity capital to support the growth of the Malaysian digital infrastructure sector.

“At AIMS, we derive immense fulfilment from knowing our presence has helped make Malaysia a regional base for global players, creating opportunities beyond data centers, and strengthening the wider digital economy,

“This cements Malaysia’s position as Southeast Asia’s leading data centre hub while continuously creating skilled jobs and upskilling local talent,” said Chiew.

He also said AIMS’ world-class infrastructure and expertise have attracted global cloud providers and content networks to Malaysia, spurring growth in fintech, e-commerce, and AI.

Chiew also emphasized that public–private partnerships have been vital to AIMS’ success, enabling faster execution and sustainable growth.

In line with its commitment to responsible growth, AIMS has also ensured that its data centres advance its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agenda.

“Beyond compliance, the facilities incorporate energy-efficient systems and are supported by renewable energy certificates (RECs) to offset carbon footprint, exemplifying what we at AIMS term as ‘sustainable sustainability’,” said Chiew.

According to him, this approach contributes to long-term value creation, aligning economic growth with environmental stewardship and creating wealth for Malaysia in a responsible, future-ready manner.
