To support increasing demand for the digital services essential to powering today’s businesses, Equinix has announced its expansion to Indonesia with plans for an approximately $74 million International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centre in the heart of Jakarta. Through this expansion, Equinix will enable Indonesian businesses, as well as multinationals with a presence in Indonesia, to leverage its trusted platform to bring together and interconnect the foundational infrastructure to power their businesses.

 

Driven by rapid business digitalisation and a substantial digital-savvy population, Indonesia has emerged as Southeast Asia’s largest digital economy in value,[1] and is expected to be a key hub of interconnection in the region. With major cloud service providers, such as Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Alibaba Cloud, launching cloud regions in Indonesia, the country is forecast to become the second largest public cloud market in Southeast Asia.[2] These trends collectively raise the need for increased digital services and data centre services capacity in Indonesia.

 

Jeremy Deutsch, President, Asia-Pacific, Equinix said: “Our IBX data centre in Jakarta will add a strategically important, high-growth market to Equinix’s extensive network of interconnected data centres across the world. Having a presence in Indonesia allows Equinix to provide digital infrastructure that enables local businesses to tap growth opportunities abroad and support global organisations looking to access the expanding Indonesian digital economy. We look forward to working closely with local authorities, network providers and the broader industry ecosystem players to help unleash Indonesia’s digital potential.”
