(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Representing the largest facility of its kind and the single largest investment by a multinational technology company in Malaysia, HP (www.hp.com) has opened the doors of its “HP Global Center Cyberjaya” data center. According to HP’s announcement this week, the state-of-the-art, multipurpose Cyberjaya facility occupies a 60-acre campus, and also boasts an internal HP Global Application Development and Support Center, and an HP Global Finance Center.
Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd. Najib Abdul Razak, and HP chief financial officer Cathie Lesjak, and HP executive vice president and chief information officer Randy Mott were present at the launch.
“The Malaysian government recognizes the immense transformational power of technology and innovation and how it can improve the lives of all Malaysians as we progress on our journey to become a high-income, innovation-led economy,” Dato’ Sri Mohd. Najib said. “We are pleased with the ongoing rejuvenation and growth within the private sector. Today’s launch of the HP Global Center Cyberjaya further enhances the country’s reputation and capabilities to host innovation and knowledge-intensive companies.”

We are honored to contribute toward advancing the Malaysian government’s commitment to building a dynamic, innovation-driven economy.”
