Frequently asked questions
Where is Equinix in Malaysia? 

Equinix operates data centers in Johor and Kuala Lumpur. Together, these locations cover Malaysia’s southern growth corridor (just north of Singapore) and the capital region, providing geographic diversity, low-latency connections to domestic markets and reach across the broader ASEAN ecosystem.

How many data centers does Equinix have in Malaysia? 

Equinix operates two data centers in Malaysia, located in Johor and Kuala Lumpur. They provide resilient colocation and rich interconnection options for domestic and international enterprises and service providers.

What is the capacity of Equinix’s data centers in Malaysia?

Equinix’s Malaysia footprint totals about 46,000 square feet (4,300 square meters) of colocation space. This capacity gives organizations scalable, high-density infrastructure to support cloud, AI and data‑intensive workloads with room to grow.

How big is the Malaysia data center colocation market? 

Malaysia’s data center colocation market was estimated to have been about USD $632 million in 2024 (roughly MYR 2.66 billion), reflecting rapid digitalization, cloud growth and strong regional investment momentum.

Does Equinix provide renewable energy in Malaysia? 

Yes. Equinix’s global sustainability commitments are activated locally by teams in every region where we operate. In Malaysia, all sites are covered by 100% renewable energy.  

How many countries does Equinix operate in?

Equinix operates data centers and interconnection facilities in 36 countries, covering 75 major metro markets across North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. This global reach enables customers to deploy infrastructure close to end users and directly connect with AI, cloud, network and enterprise partners anywhere in the world. 

What does Equinix do?

Equinix is a global leader in data centers, colocation and interconnection services, operating highly connected facilities in the world’s largest metro hubs. By hosting infrastructure in these strategic locations, businesses gain low-latency access to cloud and AI providers, networks, SaaS platforms and enterprise partners, ensuring fast, reliable and secure digital experiences. 

What’s the difference between a data center and colocation, and what’s colocation anyway?

A data center is any facility that houses IT infrastructure, but colocation refers to a specific service where a commercial operator provides space, power, cooling and connectivity for customers’ equipment. Companies choose colocation over building their own data centers to scale and expand global reach, reduce costs, access specialized expertise and connect to a broader ecosystem of partners and providers.

Does Equinix operate AI data centers?

Yes, Equinix operates AI-ready data centers designed to support the high-power density and advanced cooling requirements of AI training and inference workloads. Customers use Equinix colocation sites in major metros for low-latency AI inference near end users, while xScale campuses provide large-scale capacity to power frontier model training.

Why is liquid cooling important for AI deployments?

AI chips require significantly more power than traditional processors, generating heat that conventional air cooling cannot effectively dissipate. Liquid cooling systems absorb and remove heat more efficiently, making them essential for hosting next-generation AI hardware in modern data centers.
