Bridged Data Centres (BDC), in collaboration with Vertiv, is advancing next-generation data centre capabilities through a flagship liquid cooling project in Malaysia (MY07). Designed to support high-density, AI-driven workloads, this project reflects the growing demand for more efficient and scalable digital infrastructure. Supporting High-Density AI Workloads As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates, data centres must handle significantly higher power densities. Traditional cooling methods are no longer sufficient. Liquid cooling offers a more effective solution by improving heat transfer, enhancing energy efficiency, and enabling greater compute performance within the same footprint. Full-Scale Factory Testing for Performance Assurance Ahead of deployment, a full 1:1 factory acceptance test (FAT) was conducted to replicate real-world operating conditions. This rigorous validation process ensures that the system meets performance, stability, and integration requirements before installation. The testing approach highlights BDC’s commitment to engineering excellence and delivering reliable, high-performance infrastructure solutions. Strong Collaboration Driving Innovation The MY07 project demonstrates the strength of collaboration between BDC and Vertiv. By combining expertise in data centre development and critical infrastructure technologies, both parties are delivering solutions that meet the evolving needs of AI and high-performance computing environments. Enabling the Future of Digital Infrastructure With increasing demand for AI-ready data centres, liquid cooling will play a critical role in supporting future growth. BDC remains focused on delivering scalable, efficient, and innovative solutions to meet the needs of hyperscalers and enterprise customers across the region.

More than 200 skilled jobs in engineering, IT, and operations have been created as part…

In the Asia-Pacific region, data centres are in a high-growth phase. In China, for example, the market for data-centre services is set to see a compound annual growth rate of almost 20% over the next five years, according to industry figures. Similar trends are being seen in other Asia-Pacific markets, with data-centre development being driven by rapid growth in subsea cables, the rise of AI applications such as ChatGPT, and investments by cloud providers and global enterprises establishing operations in the region. This creates a need for data centres to meet escalating requirements in a short amount of time and boost power density. Amid these growing demands, substantial innovation is required to improve efficiency and reduce electricity and water consumption to meet accelerating needs for sustainability. Industry enterprises are transitioning towards large-scale, low-emission, and high-efficiency operations to align with these trends. Many industry players place a strong emphasis on technological innovation, having obtained and applied for hundreds of patents. This focus has helped them gain recognition for best practices in data centre provision and service innovation, winning awards such as Best Data Centre Provider and Best Data Centre/Edge Service Innovation at prestigious industry events. Operating across China, India, Malaysia, and Thailand, Bridge Data Centres incorporates green and environmental concepts into every stage of the data-centre lifecycle—from site selection and planning to design, construction, and operation. This approach enables the company to achieve an annual power usage effectiveness (PUE) as low as 1.21, boosting sustainability while cutting operational costs. Anticipating surging demand for computing power, Bridge Data Centres has developed a forward-looking modular data-centre architecture. This architecture addresses the challenges of high-density cabinet deployment and the energy consumption associated with large-scale AI models.
