Bain Capital's Bridge Data Centers (BDC) has terminated its contract with Megaspeed International at its Malaysian site after the U.S. government began a probe into whether Megaspeed smuggled restricted Nvidia AI accelerators to China. The company reallocated 68.4 MW of its power capacity from Megaspeed to cloud provider Zenplayer, reports Bloomberg.
The operator informed lenders in February via a memo tied to a recently arranged $2.8 billion credit line that the Singapore-based cloud provider Megaspeed would no longer occupy space at the campus, according to people familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg. Instead, the U.S.-based Zenplayer will assume the 64.8 MW power allocation originally reserved for Megaspeed. The communication did not specify any reason for the tenant change, but it was distributed to financial institutions backing the loan, which might indicate that BDC wanted to communicate that it does not work with companies suspected of illegal activity.
