CtrlS Datacenters, the largest Rated-4 Datacenter (DC) operator in Asia, has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with EECO (Eastern Economic Corridor Office) to lease a 10-acre (25-rai) land parcel for 50 years — located at Chonburi Province, Thailand.
CtrlS Datacenters will use the land to build a 150 MW datacenter campus and marks CtrlS’ first international market expansion.
Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Chairman, CtrlS Datacenters Ltd, said: “We aim to serve customers’ needs for digital services, both domestic and international. The datacenter is designed to meet hyperscalers’ needs in addition to serving high-end IT/compute needs of domestic enterprises.”
“The investment of CtrlS Datacenters in EECd, Si Racha, Thailand by leasing about 25 rais (10 acres) for over 50 years will facilitate global trade and demand,” Chula Sukmanop, Secretary-General of the Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EECO) of Thailand, said.
CtrlS’ datacenter site at EEC offers proximity to submarine cable landing stations for AAG (Asia-America Gateway) and ADC (Asia Direct Cable) systems, making this datacenter a point of connection equipped with submarine and terrestrial cable networks to connect to other datacenters and industrial estates.
It is also close to the EEC startup incubator and is elevated relative to flood prone areas (with Mean Sea Level >40m). The Eastern Corridor is geographically diverse from Bangkok, and is at the intersection of multiple fiber paths north and south.
