- Edge Centres is a global company focused on edge computing and data centre solutions.
- Headquartered in Malaysia, it offers high-performance, low-latency services for various industries, including telecommunications and cloud services.
The shift towards edge computing
Edge computing is becoming more essential as global data consumption continues to soar. Traditional data centres are often located far from the end-user, which creates delays in data transmission. This is particularly problematic in industries like e-commerce, telecommunications, and financial services, where every millisecond counts.
Edge Centres addresses this challenge by positioning their data centres closer to major metropolitan areas and high-traffic locations. This decentralised approach ensures that data processing happens nearer to users, significantly reducing latency and improving performance.

Expanding reach in Malaysia
Edge Centres’ entry into the Malaysian market has garnered significant attention. The company established its first data centre in Malaysia in 2021. With the rise of 5G networks, IoT devices, and the growing need for cloud services, Malaysia is poised to benefit greatly from these locally-based edge data centres. The move further solidifies the company’s commitment to expanding its global footprint, with plans for additional locations in other parts of Asia in the near future.
