Cyber Availability as a Non-Negotiable

In today’s always-online world, even a few seconds of downtime can disrupt essential services such as banking transactions, hospital systems or government operations. At Basis Bay, keeping our clients online is not just a promise. It is a responsibility we take very seriously.

Cyberjaya DC2 is built with multiple layers of redundancy in power, cooling and network connectivity. This ensures that operations continue smoothly even if one component fails.
