Airtrunk: JHB2 Johor Bahru Data Center, Airtrunk

JHB2 Johor Bahru Data Center, operated by AirTrunk, is a large-scale hyperscale campus located in the Iskandar Puteri area of Johor, Malaysia. Strategically positioned just north of Singapore, JHB2 is designed to serve as one of the most powerful and connected data centers in Southeast Asia. It extends AirTrunk’s regional presence following the success of JHB1, offering even greater capacity and scalability for hyperscale cloud, AI, and enterprise workloads.

The facility takes advantage of Johor’s growing status as a digital infrastructure hub — combining proximity to Singapore’s global connectivity with Malaysia’s favorable power, land, and regulatory environment. JHB2 is engineered to support high-density computing, cloud on-ramps, and regional interconnectivity across Asia-Pacific.
