- Partnership reflects shared commitment to strengthen Malaysia’s role as a regional digital hub
- Both parties aim to strengthen the ecosystem with secure, low-latency interconnection solutions
DE-CIX Malaysia, the Malaysian subsidiary of leading operator of Internet Exchanges (IXs), has announced the launch of its full suite of interconnection services at NTT DATA’s CBJ1 Data Centre in Cyberjaya. In a statement, the company noted that this collaboration marks a significant milestone in advancing the country’s digital infrastructure.
This newly formed partnership between DE-CIX Malaysia and NTT Global Data Centers reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Malaysia’s role as a regional digital hub. While both companies have collaborated in other global markets, this is their first local collaboration in Malaysia, unlocking new opportunities for enterprises and network-centric businesses across Southeast Asia.
The core objective of this partnership is to drive mutual ecosystem growth by offering low-latency, secure interconnection solutions for enterprises, cloud service providers, Internet service providers, and content delivery networks. With DE-CIX now live at NTT Global Data Centers’ Cyberjaya data centre, customers of both organisations can enjoy seamless access to premium peering, direct cloud connections, and virtual private network interconnections.
Weng-Yew Wong, member of the Board of Management at DE-CIX Malaysia said, “This partnership is a strategic move to bring DE-CIX’s industry-leading interconnection solutions closer to Malaysia’s enterprises. By enabling DE-CIX services in NTT Global Data Centers’ Cyberjaya facility, we create new value for our customers and strengthen the region’s digital ecosystem with greater reach, security, and reliability.”
In turn, NTT Global Data Centers can attract more network-centric tenants to its growing roster of enterprise and hyperscale clients. Both organisations aim to support the development of resilient digital infrastructure in high-growth markets such as Malaysia, while contributing to regional connectivity across Europe, Asia, the United States, and emerging markets.
Yasuo Suzuki, managing director, APAC, NTT Global Data Centers, said, “This collaboration reflects our ongoing efforts to bring strategic partners such as DE-CIX into our facilities to deliver greater performance and connectivity to our clients. The presence of DE-CIX in our Cyberjaya campus offers enhanced access to cloud platforms and digital services with the lowest possible latency.”
Cyberjaya stands out as one of Malaysia’s foremost tech-centric cities, offering robust power infrastructure, ultra-fast fibre connectivity, and a thriving ecosystem of digital and network-based enterprises. These strategic advantages make NTT’s Cyberjaya data centre an ideal location for DE-CIX to extend its presence. With DE-CIX’s services now live at the facility, tenants can immediately benefit from a comprehensive suite of interconnection solutions — including Peering (GlobePEER), Cloud Exchange (DirectCLOUD), Blackholing, and Virtual Private Network Interconnections (VPNIs) — enabling seamless and secure global connectivity.
DE-CIX services are now fully integrated into the NTT Global Data Centers ecosystem and live as of today. This includes all standard interconnection options such as Ethernet-based cross-connects and VLAN tagging, enabling quick, secure, and scalable access to DE-CIX’s global platform. The collaboration aims to enhance and expand the service capabilities of both DE-CIX and NTT Global Data Centers in Malaysia.
