Why it matters
The expansion reflects the growing role of Southeast Asia as an AI hub for the Asia Pacific region. The new business unit offers services including GPU-as-a-Service, AI inference, and edge computing. This investment comes amid reports that data center capacity in Johor state, Malaysia, has doubled in the past twelve months.
