STT Johor Campus

According to the statement, the new STT Johor data center campus, located in the Nusa Cemerlang Industrial Park in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, at the southern tip of the Malaysian Peninsula, will be built on over 22 acres of land.

The new data center site, approximately 15 kilometres from Singapore, will have access to critical telecommunication links, enabling the site to serve local requirements and be ready to connect to STT Singapore 5.

STT Singapore 5, serving as a regional interconnection hub, holds a mix of internet exchanges and network service providers, in addition to numerous locations within Singapore.

Catering to Evolving Needs

STT GDC said, “Our expansion into Johor is a natural step forward as we deliver vital digital infrastructure services that not only meet the surging and ever-evolving demands of our customers for complex design and scalability but also anticipate future needs, particularly high-performance computing workloads for AI and visual computing.”
