Thanks to its prime positioning – in relation to the rest of Southeast Asia – Malaysia is currently experiencing a period of rapid cloud and digital infrastructure transformation . The leaders setting the pace of development include NTT , Keppel Data Centres and Regal Orion .

And , as the largest player in this growing tech sphere , Cyberjaya is Malaysia ’ s fastest growing data centre market , with the city having a staggering 70 % share of Malaysia ’ s total capacity .

Brazil is another example of a key data centre market , entering a rapid phase of digitisation .

According to Layer 9 Data Centres ’ CEO Michael Ortiz , the way that individuals consume data is also changing dramatically .

“ 10 years ago , an average LATAM household family of four would download about 7GB of data per month . But today , that same family is downloading 77GB of data – in fact , that number doubled to 77 from 38 in just the last three years ,” Ortiz explains .

And , with 223 million Latin residents still without access to the internet , the further growth opportunity available in this market is abundantly clear .
