This expansion is driven by increasing demand for digital infrastructure and the strategic advantages offered by Johor. The Brightray DC data center is expected to contribute to this growth, enhancing Johor’s position as a key player in the Southeast Asian data center market.
As the Brightray DC project progresses, it will be important to monitor its development and integration into Johor’s expanding data center ecosystem.
