AIMS Data Centre Sdn Bhd (AIMS), one of Southeast Asia’s leading data centre operators, has continued to play a crucial role in nation-building by drawing foreign direct investments (FDIs) into Malaysia.
The group’s world-class infrastructure and expertise have attracted global cloud providers and content networks to Malaysia, thus spurring growth in fintech, e-commerce and artificial intelligence (AI), according to its CEO Chiew Kok Hin.
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 RM2 bil 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 centres, and strengthening the wider digital economy,” shared Chiew.
“This cements Malaysia’s position as Southeast Asia’s leading data centre hub while continuously creating skilled jobs and has upskilling local talent.”
Building on strong momentum, AIMS today (June 24) unveiled readiness of its AIMS Cyberjaya Block 3 facility.
The new block adds substantial capacity while bringing AIMS’ total potential capacity to more than 100MW in the Klang Valley by positioning it as the operator with the largest data centre capacity in Cyberjaya today.
Spiralling demand
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,” enthused Chiew.
He further noted that AIMS is seeing surging demand from its strong international customer pipeline, driven by the region’s rapid digitalisation, the rise of cloud and AI workloads as well as Malaysia’s growing appeal as a strategic data centre destination.
“Hyper-scalers, enterprises and digital service providers are increasingly turning to Malaysia in view of our nation’s competitive cost structure, abundant land and power resources, supportive government policies, and proximity to regional markets,” observed Chiew.
“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.”
Founded in Malaysia in 1990, AIMS exemplifies the nation’s ability to nurture digital economy champions.
Backed by regional telecommunications service provider, Time dotCom Bhd and digital infrastructure-centric asset manager DigitalBridge Group Inc, AIMS is also progressively expanding its presence beyond Malaysia.
Proactive support from Invest Selangor Malaysia Digital Economy Corp (MDEC), Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and councils enables has been pivotal in the early delivery of AIMS Cyberjaya Block 3. – July 24, 2025
