The Penang site occupies Level 1 of the Telekom Malaysia exchange on Jalan Tengah in Bayan Baru, 11950 - a working exchange building on the island's southern industrial belt rather than a purpose-built hall, and that is the first thing worth knowing before pricing a deployment in it. Telekom Malaysia runs it under the TM ONE enterprise brand, and the VADS name still attached to the site belongs to a wholly owned arm of TM rather than to an operator in its own right, so the contract and the escalation path both end up at TM. It is a separate address from TM ONE PG1, the operator's Georgetown site at 39 Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah, and the two should not be read as one facility. TM discloses no floor plate and no power figure for Bayan Baru, and the Tier 3 standards wording in its material describes design intent; the Uptime Institute register carries nothing for the building.
Which company actually runs the Bayan Baru data centre?
Telekom Malaysia, selling through its TM ONE enterprise brand. VADS is TM's ICT subsidiary rather than an independent operator.
What kind of building holds the Bayan Baru suite?
A Telekom Malaysia telephone exchange - the Ibusawat Telekom on Jalan Tengah - with the data floor on Level 1.
How does Bayan Baru differ from TM ONE PG1?
PG1 is a separate Penang building at 39 Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah in Georgetown. Bayan Baru is on the south of the island and the two are not interchangeable.
What does TM's Tier 3 wording mean for Bayan Baru?
It states a design intent rather than an award. The Uptime Institute holds no certification for this building, and the only Telekom Malaysia site in its register is the Iskandar Puteri core data centre in Johor.
