Logicalis APAC on the path to regional powerhouse with consolidation of Malaysian operations

APAC, Jul 29, 2024

29 July 2024: Logicalis, a leading provider of global IT solutions and managed services, has announced the opening of its new office in Malaysia, consolidating its regional teams including the integration of Logicalis and iZeno under one roof for the first time. The new office represents a significant investment in the region and further solidifies Logicalis's presence in Malaysia and the Asia Pacific (APAC) market. 

The new Malaysian office will serve as a central hub for Logicalis's operations across the region, providing enhanced capabilities and services to APAC customers across security, data & artificial intelligence (AI), application modernisation, hybrid cloud, networking and modern work. This consolidation includes the expansion of the security operations centre (SOC) in Malaysia, which is a critical component of Logicalis's strategy to enhance its security offerings across APAC. The new facility will provide advanced threat detection and response capabilities, leveraging state-of-the-art technologies and a team of highly skilled security analysts. The SOC will support more than 30 customers across APAC. 

Chong-Win Lee, CEO, Logicalis APAC, said, 

Logicalis’s continued investment in Malaysia reflects its long-term vision for the region. Logicalis is positioned to serve its customers and contribute to the local community more effectively by establishing a strong presence in Malaysia, and APAC more broadly. The combined strengths of Logicalis and iZeno in this region will drive innovation and deliver exceptional value to clients through local expertise, while further empowering the team to deliver through access to global partnerships with leading vendors.

Logicalis's SOC network already includes facilities in Singapore, China, Taiwan, and Indonesia, with the new Malaysian SOC set to play a pivotal role in this regional security infrastructure. This strategic placement will let Logicalis offer more localised support and faster response times to security incidents, giving customers the highest level of protection. 

Roger Loh, Head of Solutions and Digital Transformation, Logicalis said, 

The strategic consolidation of Logicalis’s operations in the APAC region is a critical component of the company’s global growth strategy. The new SOC and office in Malaysia demonstrate Logicalis’s commitment to investing in the region and providing unparalleled support to customers. Establishing the new SOC in Malaysia further demonstrates Logicalis’s dedication to providing top-tier security services. The Logicalis team is excited about the opportunities this will bring to the business, its customers, and the market more broadly.

The opening of the new office is a key milestone in Logicalis's strategy to strengthen its operations and capabilities in the APAC region. The new office together with the service delivery centre in Cyberjaya, will house approximately 300 employees, providing a robust support system for clients enabling them to respond to market demands swiftly and effectively.  

Logicalis hosted a grand opening event featuring key executives, customers, and partners to celebrate the new office on Friday 26th July. The event included a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, a traditional lion dance, and a networking luncheon, providing an opportunity for attendees to learn more about Logicalis's enhanced capabilities and plans for the region.
