Malaysia Comes to Discover the Barcelona DC Cluster Initiative Set Up In Barcelona Synchrotron Park
With Cyberjaya close to Kuala Lumpur and SIDH project in Sedenak near Singapore, Malaysia has two new parks specially designed to host Data Centers (DC) that make the country a key DC player in South East Asia.
In order to know about similar initiatives, a 7-person delegation representing 3 Malaysian agencies from the DC sector was in BSP on last October 27 to exchange experiences, in particular about the Barcelona DC Cluster project that aims at positioning BSP as a DC hub in South Europe. This delegation was headed by the MdEC state agency in charge of the Malaysian ICT strategy.
Among the 7 companies currently set up in BSP or about to be in (all international, two foreign firms), three of them are DC companies with more than 200 million euros already invested in BSP. In addition to these DCs, BSP completed a new 42,000 sq m plot specially designed to host DCs and provide companies with district cooling, seven telecommunication networks already installed etc. In this project, BSP draws on the technology assessment of B-Barcelona Consulting/BGC, an engineering company specialized, among other things, in the design of mission critical infrastructures and the implementation of energy efficiency strategies as free cooling, direct-to-chip water cooling etc.
It is worth mentioning that INCASÒL strategic analysis director Ramon Forcada and Catalonia Trade & Investment advisor Marc Puyuelo also took part in the meeting (INCASÒL is the public agency in charge of the management of Catalan public lands and Catalonia Trade & Investment aims at attracting foreign direct investments in Barcelona and Catalonia).
