NationGate, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partner of a leading GPU company, will commit towards supporting the fast-growing data centre ecosystem in Malaysia and globally, beginning with the provision of these servers, benchmarked against the best equipment in the market, and associated tailored solutions to meet the diverse needs for generative AI and highperformance computing among customers, from startups to hyperscale data centres.

NationGate managing director Datuk Ooi Eng Leong, said the venture would open doors for NationGate to expand its customer base both locally and across the region, as it positions at the forefront of the entry into AI-related services, and capitalising on the double digit percentage expansion per annum in data centre investments and construction market in Asean and globally.
In Malaysia alone, studies have shown that capacity for data centres are expected to more than double every two years for at least the next five years, making it crucial for the nation to localise the sourcing of technology and high-skilled workforce in order to fully capitalise the industry’s positive growth in the long-term.

NationGate is able to provide one-stop service for AI servers and switching solutions while supporting the localisation agenda. NationGate’s strategic leap into AI and data centres underscores its commitment towards advancing technology, while fostering local innovation and economic growth by contributing towards supply chain investments and high-skilled employment opportunities which are essential to remain competitive in this fast-paced industry.
“As the first manufacturer in Malaysia of the industryleading servers sought by those in pursuit of digitalisation and better efficiency, we are hopeful towards providing the spillover effects of developing parts of the data centre value chain in the country including manufacturing and talent development, as part of the goals of the National Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030),” Ooi said.
This product launch is also more than just a milestone for NationGate, he added, but a statement of the Company’s vision for the future of AI.
“This milestone enables unparalleled solutions to businesses worldwide, driving efficiency and unlocking new possibilities, while making us well-positioned to capitalise on the strong AI server demand. We are very optimistic of our pathway towards growth in the data computing division, beginning with the provision of reliable and trusted AI servers for our customers,” he further added.
