In a strategic move to bolster its data center capacity, Racks Central has acquired a five-acre plot in Iskandar Halal Park, located in 81700 Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia. The acquisition, finalized on October 18, 2024, marks Racks Central’s first major investment outside of Singapore, underscoring its commitment to addressing the growing demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) data center capabilities in the region.

This expansion aligns with Racks Central’s vision of staying ahead in the dynamic technology landscape, where the need for AI-ready infrastructure is rapidly escalating. By investing in East Johor, the company positions itself to tap into a burgeoning market while strengthening its foothold in Southeast Asia.

"The acquisition of land in Iskandar Halal Park is a pivotal step for Racks Central," said Bobby Wee, CEO, Racks Central. "With AI-driven applications becoming mainstream, the demand for robust data center infrastructure has never been higher. Johor offers strategic advantages in terms of location, resources, and connectivity, making this investment both timely and essential."

Iskandar Halal Park, known for its advanced facilities and strategic location near key infrastructure, provides an ideal base for Racks Central’s new data center. The park’s focus on innovation and sustainable development aligns seamlessly with Racks Central’s goals of creating state-of-the-art and environmentally conscious data solutions.

The planned data center will not only enhance Racks Central’s capacity to serve clients but also contribute to the region’s economic growth. With Johor emerging as a critical hub for technology and industrial investments, the development promises to bring cutting-edge technology and job opportunities to the local community.

Racks Central’s decision to expand into Malaysia reflects its foresight in recognizing regional opportunities and leveraging them for strategic growth. By scaling operations in Johor, the company is poised to meet near-term demands while laying the groundwork for long-term success in the AI and digital infrastructure space.
