Digital Realty Trust announced the acquisition of CSF Advisers and its TelcoHub 1 data center in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. The 1.5‑megawatt campus hosts more than 6,000 fiber cores and over 40 network service providers, including AWS, Google, MY IX and DECIX ASEAN. The deal also secures adjacent land capable of supporting up to 14 MW of IT load, giving the company a clear path to scale the site.
The transaction is part of Digital Realty’s broader Southeast Asia strategy, which already includes operations in Singapore and Jakarta. By adding TelcoHub 1, the company gains a dense dark‑fiber interconnect hub that is critical for regional and long‑haul connectivity, positioning it to serve hyperscalers and enterprises that demand low‑latency, high‑density infrastructure.
The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2026 and will be integrated into Digital Realty’s PlatformDIGITAL® platform. The platform will provide customers with a consistent, secure, and interconnected environment for AI and cloud workloads across the region, while the new campus will support the company’s ServiceFabric® offering.
Malaysia’s data‑center market is projected to double its capacity from 1.26 GW in 2025 to 2.53 GW by 2030, driven by cloud, AI, and connectivity demand and supportive government policies. The acquisition gives Digital Realty a foothold in a market that offers lower operating costs than Singapore and a strategic location for regional connectivity.
Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, said the move “will bring our global platform, operational expertise, and long‑term investment approach into the local market, supporting Malaysia’s digital ambitions and shaping how regional infrastructure is built for the future.” Billy Lee, Chairman and CEO of CSF Advisers, added that the deal “will enhance connectivity solutions for customers, support local talent development, and contribute to Malaysia’s maturing digital infrastructure ecosystem.”
While the financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, the acquisition aligns with Digital Realty’s focus on high‑density, low‑latency sites that can accommodate the growing demand for AI and cloud services. The company’s existing portfolio in Southeast Asia, combined with the new TelcoHub 1 campus, positions it to capture a larger share of the region’s expanding data‑center market.
