Singapore, 9th Oct 2024—FutureData Consortium, led by TSG Group of Sarawak and Cyclect of Singapore, announced its first off taker in FutureData Park at an announcement ceremony at its booth in DC World today. The 500MW site for the
data center was first announced in June 2023 at Shape the World Summit in Kuching, witnessed by Premier of Sarawak Abang Abdul Rahman Zohari Abang Openg.

The first off-taker to set up its data center within FutureData is Global Telecommunications Group. This project in FutureData shall be a high-density data center located in Kuching, East Malaysia, designed to support next-generation digital infrastructure. It will be purpose-built to cater to cutting-edge applications such as Large Language Model (LLM) training and GPU as a Service (GaaS), making it a vital hub for AI development and cloud computing services. Additionally, the data center shall provide edge computing solutions along with Internet Data Exchange (IDE) services, enhancing data handling and processing at the edge of networks for faster and more efficient performance.

An investment estimated to cost above USD$130 million, the center shall operate on a robust 17MW power supply, offering significant energy capacity to power the demanding workloads of modern computing systems. It will be designed to support over 1,000 racks, with selective high-density racks delivering up to 125KW of power, providing the scalability required for high-performance computing environments. Construction shall commence in 2Q 2025 and be online by 2026.

Through this project in Kuching, it aims to position itself as a key player in the region's digital economy by delivering the infrastructure needed to support emerging technologies, cloud services, and AI-driven innovations. The facility's strategic location and advanced design make it a cornerstone for data exchange, connectivity, and AI infrastructure development in East Malaysia.
