By Digital News Asia July 22, 2024Merges tech innovation with local talent to boost country’s digital growth
In a media briefing held at the campus last week, Asher Ling , chief technology officer and managing director Of PDG Singaporefibre routes, and proximity to major regional data networks."Johor offers a unique combination of connectivity, infrastructure, and talent, making it an ideal location for our latest data centre campus," he impressed.
The facility, completed within 12 months of starting construction in 2023, is also part of PDG's innovative SG+® strategy which aims to create a seamlessly integrated data centre ecosystem spanning Singapore, Batam, and Johor. This approach offers unprecedented flexibility to hyperscalers and large enterprises in their infrastructure deployment.
JH1's high-density computing environment uses advanced air cooling systems to efficiently manage the substantial power demands of AI processing while minimising environmental impact. In May, before launching the first 52MW phase of JH1, PDG secured a RM1.28 billion green loan from Maybank, Standard Chartered Bank, and UOB Malaysia.
Another aspect of JH1's design is how it incorporates flexibility for future upgrades."We've built the flexibility to accommodate next-generation liquid cooling solutions as AI computing demands continue to evolve," Ling shared. Strategically speaking, a forward-thinking approach ensures that JH1 can adapt to emerging technologies, making it a long-term asset for Malaysia's digital economy.The economic impact of PDG's investment extends far beyond the facility itself.
PDG's talent development approach is multifaceted, combining immediate hiring strategies with long-term talent pipeline development. Specifically, PDG has been innovative in identifying and attracting talent from adjacent industries. Especially in recognising the need to develop the next generation of data centre professionals, PDG has established partnerships with local educational institutions.
