EDUCATION TRIP 2025 TO IPSERVER ONE CJ1 DATA CENTER

On 20 August 2025, students and staff from the Faculty of Computer Science and Technology, First City University College, participated in an educational trip to the IPSERVER ONE CJ1 Data Center in Cyberjaya, Selangor. Organised by the Faculty of Computer Science and Technology and the Tech Club, the visit aimed to give students a practical understanding of data center operations, cybersecurity measures, and cloud computing infrastructure.

Participants were introduced to the stringent security requirements for maintaining Tier III certified facilities and gained insight into disaster recovery strategies, cloud storage systems, and compliance standards such as PCI-DSS and ISO 27001. The session offered an opportunity for students to connect their academic knowledge with real-world applications through direct engagement with industry professionals.

Reflecting on the experience, Jashlienne Quisha San Pedro, a student from the Bachelor of Software Engineering programme, shared, “Visiting the CJ1 Data Center has helped me gain a lot of knowledge, from how data centers work and how they are maintained to understanding network systems at the backend level. Seeing physical cloud storage systems gave me a better understanding of what I am studying beyond software on devices.”

The trip was a valuable opportunity for students to deepen their technical knowledge and strengthen their understanding of cybersecurity and data management practices in a high-security environment.
