As part of Gibtelecom’s international expansion plans, the company is launching its first Asian data centre in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
The facility, offering hosting, managed solutions and a full range of cloud services, is connected directly to the company’s core private network, linking European businesses with their Asian operations and vice versa.
Daniel Hook, Gibtelecom’s director enterprise, said: “The online gaming landscape is forever changing, as the last 12 months has clearly shown us. This provides both challenges and opportunities for companies such as Gibtelecom and our customers alike.
"We have a substantial customer base spanning multiple industries that have operations in Asia and this addition to our existing network presence in the region gives our customers greater options to connect eastbound.
“Last year’s announcement by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation that Malaysia has opened its doors to online gaming companies, with generous incentives to those who relocate to the country, was great news.”
The new Data Centre, offering the full suite of cloud products, connects directly with the company’s data centres in London and Gibraltar, providing European companies looking east or eastern companies looking west a secure and reliable internationally distributed infrastructure.
