Open DC, Malaysia’s forward-thinking data centre provider, has been honored with the Fast Enterprise Award at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2025 Malaysia! This prestigious recognition highlights Open DC’s bold mission, which is to position Malaysia as a key player in Southeast Asia’s digital connectivity.
Bound For Seamless Connectivity Ecosystem
What does this mean for us? Open DC is building world-class data centres that act as powerful digital highways, linking businesses and communities to the global stage. Through its flagship JB1 data centre in Johor Bahru and the upcoming D8-1 data centre in Delapan, Kedah, Open DC is building the backbone of tomorrow’s connectivity.
The Managing Director of Open DC shared,
“This award affirms our dream to build a connected Malaysia, where our JB1 and D8-1 data centres serve as telco hubs that unite businesses and communities with the global digital landscape. From Johor to Kedah, we’re creating a future without digital boundaries.”

Moreover, these centres are not just about speed, but they are designed to power the industries of tomorrow. From AI and cloud computing to fintech and digital businesses, Open DC’s hubs are built to provide the infrastructure for Malaysia’s digital leap forward. Here are the reasons why these matters:
- Johor Bahru (JB1): Located next to Singapore, it delivers lightning-fast speeds with under 1 millisecond latency. Besides, through the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, this centre puts Johor on the map as a regional digital gateway.
- Delapan (D8-1): Strategically placed near the Thailand border, this soon-to-launch centre will boost cross-border digital traffic. Concurrently, it will link Malaysia’s north to Thailand and beyond.
In short, both facilities are energy-efficient and built to support the industries of the future. Primarily, these centers will ensure that Malaysia’s growth goes hand in hand with sustainability.
Towards a Sustainable Digital Ecosystem
Open DC’s journey does not stop here. They are forging strong partnerships with global telcos, cloud providers, and technology innovators. Open DC aims to shape a sustainable and inclusive digital ecosystem that will keep Malaysia at the forefront of the region’s growth.
Eventually, winning the APEA Fast Enterprise Award is only the beginning and is more than just recognition. Open DC is calling on global partners, innovators, and businesses to join hands in building a truly connected Malaysia. Also, this marks the start of a future where opportunities are limitless, innovation flourishes, and Malaysia leads the way in global connectivity.
