JAKARTA,
Indonesia, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- EDGNEX
Data Centres by DAMAC, a global digital infrastructure
provider and part of the DAMAC Group, has announced its investment
into the Indonesian market with a state-of-the-art data center to
be built in Jakarta. This
announcement was made at the Indonesia Cloud & Datacenter
Convention 2024 on May 16, 2024. The
first phase of the construction is scheduled to be completed in the
fourth quarter of 2025, marking a significant step in the company's
strategic efforts to support the dynamic digital economy and
startup ecosystem in Southeast
Asia's fastest-growing country.[1]
Indonesia, as the largest
economy in Southeast Asia,
experienced a growth rate of 5% year-on-year from January to
March 2023. Currently, Jakarta is preparing to increase its data
center capacity to 1GW. To support this growth, more colocation
data centers adhering to sustainable Tier III standards and
offering high uptime and reliability are needed to meet the rising
demand for internet usage in the
region.[2]
In response to these needs, EDGNEX is providing a foundation for
innovation and disrupting the data center market by delivering
advanced technology to meet the increasing demand from Cloud
Service Providers (CSP) and AI
deployments.[3]
Hussain Sajwani, Founder and
Chairman of the DAMAC Group, commented, "EDGNEX identifies and
invests in present and next-generation digital hubs. The
government's robust digitalisation efforts, high internet
penetration and a tech-savvy, youthful demographic, necessitate
advanced infrastructure to support the burgeoning digital economy.
With this announcement we are pleased to support the government's
efforts and to bring our expertise in setting new standards for
data centres in Southeast Asia,
catalysing further technological innovation and growth across the
region."
The new data center is strategically located in MT Haryono,
Jakarta, just 3 kilometers from
one of the most interconnected data center clusters - the most
important internet exchange point in central Jakarta. This facility will have dual road
access and excellent fiber optic connectivity, ensuring enhanced
service reliability and superior performance to meet the evolving
demands of customers.
Danish Nayar, SVP of Investments and Acquisitions, DAMAC
Capital, added: "We are excited by the growth opportunities in
Jakarta. Our new facility in
downtown Jakarta will address the
growing demand for Cloud Service Providers, Edge Nodes, and
potential Artificial Intelligence deployments. We are also
investing in a similar format across SEA and globally."
