VADS Bhd, a wholly-owned unit of Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM), expects data centre business to emerge the biggest contributor to the company?s ICT operations moving forward.
Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Azhar Yahya said this was due to continuous growth in demand for data centres among Malaysian businesses.
He said the demand for data centres was driven by rising number of businesses adopting cloud computing, an ICT service that has been proven attractive and cost-efficient.
?Cloud is becoming something that is an attractive proposition, especially in facing stiff competition and everybody trying to improve their profit margin.
?It also offers an interesting composition to most businesses because instead of businesses having to buy their own infrastructure, buying their own servers, hiring their own IT people, they don?t have to do all that as we can do it for them,? he said in an interview with Bernama.
A data centre, which can be either physical or virtual, is a centralised repository that can store, manage and disseminate data or information organised for a specific organisation or business.
VADS currently has 14 data centres nationwide with total space of 150,000 sq ft.
Ahmad Azhar said the company was looking at the possibility of building up to five large data centres over the next three years.
The larger-scale data centres could be in the range of tens of thousands to over 100,000 sq ft, he said.
He refused to elaborate on the plan, saying that it was still in an early stage.
Besides data centres, VADS also provides cloud computing services.
Ahmad Azhar said opportunities in the cloud computing and data centre businesses were abundant because cloud computing adoption rate among Malaysian businesses was less than 15 per cent presently.
