PUTRAJAYA: The establishment of Microsoft Corp's first datacentre region in Malaysia under its "Bersama Malaysia Initiative” costing at least US$1 billion (US$1=RM4.127) over the next five years is expected to create 19,000 jobs, including 4,000 IT-related jobs among its cloud users.
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said according to the International Data Corporation, the ripple effects of the datacentre region investment could translate into US$6.90 (about RM28.47) of revenue generated in the local cloud ecosystem for every US$1 of Microsoft Malaysia’s cloud revenue by 2024.
