Colocation firm Equinix has topped out its latest data center in Johor, Malaysia.

Equinix’s senior director of IBX Operations, Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia, Gavin O’Reilly, last week posted on LinkedIn that the company had topped out JH2, the company’s second data center in Johor.

The first 1,100-rack phase of the 7MW, 19,135 sqm (205,967 sq ft) facility is due to launch in Q1 2027. The site will be equipped with liquid cooling. A further 1,125 rack phase is due to launch later in Q3 2027.

Located on the same campus, JH1 was initially announced in 2022, when Equinix said it was investing $40 million to provide capacity for 500 cabinets across 1,960 sqm (21,100 sq ft) of colocation space. The facility launched last year.

Equinix is in discussions to acquire more land to build the campus out to 77MW.

Elsewhere in Malaysia, the company operates the KL1 data center in Kuala Lumpur. A second is also in development.
