Cyberjaya, Malaysia – Digital Realty has announced plans to enter the Malaysian market through an agreement to acquire CSF Advisers, the owner of the TelcoHub 1 data centre in Cyberjaya, a key digital infrastructure hub within Greater Kuala Lumpur.
The move expands the company’s Southeast Asia presence and supports growing regional demand for data centre capacity and connectivity.
TelcoHub 1 is a 1.5MW operational facility recognised for its high network density and extensive dark fibre connectivity, with more than 6,000 fibre cores supporting regional and long-haul links. The site hosts over 40 network service providers and provides access to major cloud and exchange platforms. Digital Realty has also agreed to acquire neighbouring land capable of supporting up to 14MW of additional IT load, allowing for future expansion.
The transaction is expected to complete in the first half of 2026, subject to customary conditions.
“Malaysia plays an increasingly important role in the region’s digital ecosystem as hyperscalers, enterprises and platforms scale up, and infrastructure requirements evolve toward greater resilience, interconnection, and readiness,” Serene Nah, managing director and head of Asia Pacific at Digital Realty, commented.
“Our entry into Malaysia will bring our global platform, operational expertise, and long-term investment approach into the local market, support the country’s digital ambitions, and help to shape how regional infrastructure is built for the future.”
Following completion, the Malaysian site will be integrated into PlatformDIGITAL, Digital Realty’s global data centre platform, enabling customers to deploy infrastructure within a standardised and interconnected environment as digital and AI workloads scale. The company also plans to introduce its ServiceFabric interconnection solution to enhance regional connectivity and operational flexibility.
CSF Advisers’ leadership team and more than 40 employees are expected to join Digital Realty, supporting a customer base that includes enterprises, cloud providers and digital service companies. Malaysia’s data centre sector is experiencing sustained growth, driven by rising cloud adoption, artificial intelligence demand, improved connectivity and supportive government policies.
“Malaysia is currently in a sustained scale-up phase for digital infrastructure. Continued expansion is fueled by rising demand for cloud services, AI acceleration, robust connectivity infrastructure, and supportive government policies,” Billy Lee, chairman and chief executive officer of CSF Advisers, stated.
“We are excited to join Digital Realty and hope this acquisition will enhance our connectivity solutions for customers, support local talent development, and contribute to Malaysia’s maturing digital infrastructure ecosystem.”
