Malaysia boasts a vibrant IT infrastructure and holds a strategic location at the heart of Southeast Asia. With extensive footprint across Asia-Pacific, Equinix entered Malaysia lately with the official opening of two state-of-the-art International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers in Johor (JH1) and Kuala Lumpur (KL1).
