irix Kuching 1 DC @Santubong

Kuching 1 DC @Santubong is the flagship data center of irix, a licensed Sarawak telecom operator formerly known as PP Telecommunication before its 2022 rebrand. The site sits near Santubong outside Kuching, co-located with irix's own submarine cable landing station, and the operator markets it as hydro-powered with closed-loop cooling. The Uptime Institute's public registry shows the facility holding a Tier IV Certification of Design Documents from 2021 (revised 2025) and a Tier IV Certification of Constructed Facility issued 17 December 2024 — which irix's own newsroom, in a release lagging the certificate date, promotes as the first such Tier IV award in Malaysia and in Borneo. irix does not publish the facility's IT power capacity, floor area or rack count on its own site; third-party catalog figures circulating for the building are not independently confirmed and are excluded here. The certification gives East Malaysia a Tier IV-grade colocation option outside the Johor and Kuala Lumpur clusters that dominate the peninsula.
