KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25, 2011 - (ACN Newswire) - A significant new initiative in Malaysia as a location for data centres and cloud services, will be highlighted by the inaugural Data Centre Regional Summit to be held in Kuala Lumpur 26-27 January (www.datacentres.com/my).

Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, CEO of Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), an instrumental partner of the summit said, "Data service outsourcing is one of the key investment areas for Malaysia, and it is not surprising that given our business and IT infrastructure, a largely English-speaking workforce, and technical expertise that we attract industry players to set up operations in Malaysia. The fact that the first regional data centre summit is held here is further testament to the acceleration of Malaysia into a global data centre hub."
