Potential for Malaysia to be HDC hub

The government had granted permission for global tech giants such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon to build and manage HDCs and provide hybrid cloud services in the country.

WHILE hyperscale data centres (HDCs) are a growth area with a lot of investment being earmarked, a debate has ensued about whether regulation would do it good.

Sources say that the industry’s regulator has sought feedback from players on the pros and cons of regulation and what form should regulation take.
