Bain Data Center Unit Cuts Ties With Nvidia Buyer After US Probe

Bain Capital’s Bridge Data Centres has removed from its Malaysian computing hub a Southeast Asian company the US suspects of smuggling Nvidia Corp. chips.

The company replaced Megaspeed International Pte. with cloud provider Zenlayer Inc. at its Malaysian facility, people familiar with the matter said, citing a memo the Bain-owned firm sent to its lenders in February. The data center operator didn’t cite a reason for the switch in the letter, which was sent to the providers of a recent $2.8 billion loan, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private matters.
