BDC geared to support business growth in Malaysia with innovative liquid cooling solutions

Liquid cooling technology is poised to become one of the key solutions to meet the burgeoning demand for Artificial Intelligence workloads in Malaysia. Lye Yit Tho, VP of Design for APAC at Bridge Data Centres (BDC), emphasized the critical role of liquid cooling solutions in sustaining growth in Malaysia’s burgeoning digital market.

“Malaysia is seizing AI opportunities and emerging as one of the most dynamic digital economies. As businesses and ecosystems increasingly rely on robust infrastructure, we are enthusiastic about our participation in and co-development of advanced liquid cooling solutions to meet the rapidly growing digital demands,” remarked Lye Yit during his keynote address at the Datacentre & Cloud Infra Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Datacentre & Cloud Infra Summit, supported by the Malaysian government, is one of several key events focusing on data centers and cloud infrastructure. The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) served as a strategic partner to the event, with support from various Malaysian government bodies.

As a global leader in data center solutions and the largest live capacity owner in Malaysia, BDC offers the X Cooling System Series to comprehensively address diverse cooling needs. These products encompass air-cooled, water-cooled, cold plate liquid cooling, and immersion liquid cooling options, ensuring optimal performance across various scenarios, including the escalating demands of AI.

“These solutions support 20kW to 80kW per rack, optimizing both water and energy efficiency while continuously setting industry-leading standards in data center cooling. In Malaysia, through the integration of chilled water AHUs with cold plate liquid cooling solutions, we have successfully reduced the annual average PUE of our data centers to 1.2,” added Lye Yit.

The Malaysian government’s digital drive aims to position the nation as a regional technology hub, fostering innovation, economic growth, and enhanced public services. This initiative aligns with the government’s MyDIGITAL blueprint, which seeks to accelerate digital adoption across various sectors and position Malaysia as a global digital economy leader.

The data center market in Malaysia is projected to witness significant expansion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.92% from 2023 to 2029. Valued at USD 1.81 billion in 2023, the market is expected to reach approximately USD 3.97 billion by 2029.

In a country striving to develop the digital ecosystem across diverse sectors and bolster critical digital infrastructures, Lye Yit reiterated the importance of connectivity and agility in data centers.

“With technology evolving rapidly, we are discussing GB200, which offers 30 times the throughput of H100. This underscores the need for us to anticipate design trends, maintain agility, and promptly provide design solutions tailored to AI demands,” emphasized Lye Yit.

Through strategic optimization of their data hall layout, BDC has successfully minimized the physical distance data traverses, resulting in significant improvements in data transfer speeds and overall system efficiency. Given the high-performance computing tasks performed by data centers, requiring higher-density infrastructure, liquid cooling solutions remain essential for efficiently managing increased power output.

The evolving landscape driven by AI demands and the digital revolution compels data center solution providers to continuously refine their innovative technological advancements. Among these providers, BDC is strategically expanding its footprint in Malaysia. Recently, it forged a partnership with Mah Sing Group Bhd, a prominent property developer in the country, to develop cutting-edge data center facilities and infrastructure in Bangi, Selangor, marking a significant milestone on May 30th. This collaborative effort, graced by the presence of Malaysia’s Deputy Prime Minister, Dato’ Sri Fadillah Yusof, underscores their capability to drive regional digital economic growth, advance the high-performance computing sector, and deliver environmentally sustainable computational infrastructure services.

Navigating Challenges and Seizing Opportunities in an Evolving Satellite Landscape

SINGAPORE, May 30, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – As the satellite industry continues to evolve, challenges and opportunities abound. Industry leaders from the Asia-Pacific region and around the world gathered at the Asia Video Industry Association’s recent Satellite Industry Forum, held in Singapore on 28 May, to discuss the state of the industry, addressing critical questions and sharing insights on the path forward.

The emergence of NGSO systems presents both opportunities and threats to traditional GSO operators. In the opening keynote, Patompob (Nile) Suwansiri, CEO, THAICOM, highlighted the need for adaptation and strategic partnerships to leverage respective strengths.

Despite challenges, the satellite broadband business remains relevant and lucrative. Suwansiri emphasized the importance of leveraging accumulated expertise and capital to invest in newer technologies and satellites, ensuring continued growth and relevance. “The fundamentals and know-how of doing the broadband business is still there and that is something that technology cannot replace,” said Suwansiri.

While Software-Defined High Throughput Satellites (SD HTS) hold promise for reducing investment risk and enabling new business models, concerns remain about expected capacity pricing reductions. Integration of smart satellite systems with ground systems and the utilization of AI were also highlighted as crucial for driving innovation and efficiency for THAICOM, added Suwansiri.

The ‘Asia-Pacific Satellite Leaders Roundtable’ also discussed the current state and future outlook of the satellite industry, with a focus on where the video industry is heading. Raymond Chow, Chief Commercial Officer, AsiaSat, emphasized their focus on providing end-to-end services and adapting to changing customer demands for global connectivity, with more vertical integration for a holistic view across the video business.

Kenichi Shimotsuma, GM, Asia Regional Headquarters & Regional Director, Singapore Branch, SKY Perfect JSAT, also recognized the evolving role of satellite broadcasting and the need to diversify into content delivery and connected TV services to meet changing consumer preferences.

Conversations around the future of linear video continued with ‘The Customers Talk’. Paul Mattear, Head of Global SatCom (A&S), Amazon Web Services, highlighted the importance of understanding and meeting customer needs, emphasizing a symbiotic relationship between service providers and end-users. For Huang Baozhong, EVP, APT Satellite, maintaining a customer-centric approach is crucial for competitiveness. Trust in IP-based technology is also evolving, with AI playing a role in streamlining labour-intensive tasks, added Mark Wardle, VP, Engineering & Operations, Encompass Digital Media.

Pranav Roach, President of Hughes Network Systems India, offered insights into how the “Norms, Guidelines and Procedures” (NGP) document for the implementation of Indian Space Policy is facilitating easier navigation of regulations and processes, thus benefiting private players in the sector. A notable aspect highlighted by Roach is the significance of spectrum allocation for satellite broadband. The NGP streamlines the process, ensuring administrative allocation to facilitate private sector involvement. Roach emphasized that auctions would have been counterproductive in this context.

The introduction of the New Telecom Law in 2023 also further paved the way for spectrum allocation for satellite broadband. This legislative development clears regulatory hurdles, enabling smoother operations and growth opportunities for private players.

The importance of ground segment adaptation in response to changing requirements was also underscored at the conference. Panellists discussed post-pandemic shifts, emphasizing the need for adaptability and integration with IT systems, with the disruption that the launch of Starlink has brought. “Everyone needs to disrupt themselves and adapt. What is the multi-orbit proposition that we can provide to a particular user. . . how can we integrate better for greater value to the end user?” asked Alvaro Sanchez, CEO, Integrasys.

Conversations also centred around the space industry, following the tumult and volatility of 2023. Dara Panahy, Partner, Milbank LLP, highlighted the ongoing democratization of the commercial space industry, with the need for incumbents to evolve by either scaling up or vertically integrating to better serve customers. Identifying key areas such as mobility, government services, IoT, and earth observation as lucrative opportunities, he underscored the pivotal role of space in the larger economy.

The Satellite Industry Forum concluded with senior industry executives convening for a high-level discussion on the future trajectory of the satellite industry. Sanjay Duda, CEO, Planetcast Media Services, highlighted his focus on the role of satellite technology in delivering media services, particularly for the video industry. He emphasized the continued relevance of satellite in delivering linear channels, especially in underserved regions like India, while acknowledging the pressure on costs and the evolving landscape of mobility. Neha Idnani, Regional Vice President, APAC, Eutelsat OneWeb, also stressed the importance of working closely with regulators and industry bodies to ensure data security and protect sovereign interests, while Katherine Gizinski, CEO, River Advisers, reiterated the importance of regulatory considerations, particularly regarding spectrum and physical space access. She advocated for greater industry cooperation to address sustainability concerns and anticipated closer scrutiny from regulators as the industry continues to expand.

The Satellite Industry Forum is proudly sponsored by Gold Sponsors SKY Perfect JSAT and MEASAT Satellite Systems; Silver Sponsors Arianespace, AsiaSat, COMSYS, Eutelsat, Gilat Satellite Network, Hughes, Integrasys, Marsh, Milbank LLP, Northtelecom, Rivada Space Networks and Thaicom.

Messe Munchen Singapore announces the co-location of two-dedicated tradeshows for Southeast Asia’s USD450+ billion construction sector

SINGAPORE, May 27, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – MMI Asia Pte. Ltd. (MMI Asia), the regional subsidiary of Messe München GmbH, is proud to announce the launch of the ASEAN Stone exhibition in addition to its line-up of trade exhibitions, taking place from 11 to 13 December 2024, at the prestigiousSaigon Exhibition and Convention Centre (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to support in helping Southeast Asia countries and Vietnam deliver the 2050 Vision. The event is supported by Marmomacchine Servizi srl, a service company of Confindustria Marmomacchine (Associazione Italiana Marmomacchine).

ASEAN Stone 2024 is the first dedicated exhibition of stone, allied machinery, tools, chemicals and materials in Southeast Asia e.g granite, quartz, marble slabs, mosaic and natural stone, stone processing and cutting devices, quarrying machines and polishing equipment. The exhibition will be co-located with ASEAN Ceramics 2024 in Vietnam. The stone and ceramics industries go hand in hand with the broader manufacturing and construction industries to support the expansion in Southeast Asia. Both events will address growing demand for raw materials, machinery, tools, equipment and other related services and technologies necessary to produce high-quality building products in the region’s USD 450+ billion construction sector. The move will allow two distinctive forums the opportunity to foster greater crossover while maintaining the branding and identity of each community in two distinct halls.

Trade visitors will have access to both show floors affording the unique opportunity to engage, collaborate, learn, and acquaint themselves with the latest advancements. The synergy of co-location provides an extremely powerful and significant avenue for networking at an incredibly important time for our industry where technology and knowledge from both industries can be shared whilst specific programming and events will continue to serve each show thus providing a brand-new set of experiences and solutions to attendees.

With an exhibition space of 6,600sqm, almost double the size of ASEAN Ceramics 2023 in Hanoi, an expected turnout of over 300 exhibitors and brands and over 5,000 trade visitors, these events promise to bring together the most influential stakeholders in the stone and ceramics industries in the region.

As an example of market growth according to regional analysis, the natural stone market in Asia-pacific region generated a revenue of $19,907.20 million in 2021 and is expected to reach up to $35,170.00 million by 2030 (Source). Also, Vietnam’s ceramic industry soars and ranked as the world’s 4th largest tile production and one of the top 10 largest construction ceramic-producing countries. With this evident surge in the natural stone and ceramics market, the exhibition will play a key role in accelerating network building between local and international brands and associations to meet the growing requirements and demand, a great platform for exhibitors to offer solutions to address current challenges on digitalization & automation and to demonstrate the future of each industry from manufacturing, production and technologies to 10 countries in Southeast Asia – Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Cambodia, Brunei and Myanmar.

Michael Wilton, CEO & Managing Director of MMI Asia, expresses his anticipation for this event, “We decided to co-locate these events after analyzing the market requirements and potential synergies afforded by the cross-industry integration. The exhibition will welcome all exhibit profiles and suppliers from around the world to give access for ASEAN’s distributors, suppliers, manufacturers, architects, designers, contractors and developers to the latest most innovative technologies and services. This will be in addition to extensive experience and knowledge base enabling a positive difference in the value chain of both stone and ceramics. ”

Several supporting programs will provide a highly interactive, knowledge platform for the industry for regional buyers to meet global suppliers. Highlights of the 3-day exhibition include academic seminar, product showcasing, hosted buyer program, buyer-seller forum, pre-event factory tour, networking dinner, and over 50+ conference sessions hosted by renowned experts at both events.

ASEAN Stone will focus on applications for building & monumental while 8th ASEAN Ceramics, with co-organizer Vietnam Building Ceramic Association (VIBCA), will remain its focus on raw materials as well as technology and machinery for the production of refractory materials, bricks, tiles, sanitary ceramics, tableware and advanced ceramics – the perfect gateway to meet the ASEAN regional buyers and global suppliers, establish trade relationships and expand geographic reach.
