CtrlS has recently inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Telecom Public Company (NT) to collaborate in the establishment of their 150-Megawatt data center campus, slated to grace the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) in Chonburi, Thailand.
This isn’t the first groundbreaking agreement CtrlS has entered into this year. Back in July, CtrlS solidified a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EECO) to secure a prime plot of land in Chonburi Province, which will serve as the nucleus for their expansive data center campus.
One of the features of CtrlS’ data center site within the EEC is its strategic proximity to the landing stations of critical submarine cable systems, including the Asia-America Gateway (AAG) cable system, already operational, and the forthcoming Asia Direct Cable (ADC) cable system, set to make its debut in the first quarter of 2024.
This data center is conveniently situated near the EEC startup incubator, while also being strategically located away from flood-prone regions, ensuring operational stability with a Mean Sea Level exceeding 40 meters.
Currently operating 10 data centers in five prominent markets, CtrlS has expressed its ambition to triple the existing 8 data centers to 25 by 2025, as well as expanding its footprint by an additional five million sq ft from the current 1.2.
In June, CtrlS just started the construction of its Greenfield Edge Data Center in Odisha which will be located at Infocity, Chandrasekharpur in Bhubaneswar.
Looking beyond their current markets, CtrlS also has its sights set on exploring new opportunities in overseas markets within a number of promising regions in Southeast Asia and the Middle East in order to create a connected future that benefits enterprise clients and hyperscalers globally.
