Equinix plans to build an international business exchange (IBX) data centre, approximately valued at US$74 million, in the heart of Jakarta to provide Indonesian enterprises as well as MNCs, with the interconnect infrastructure to power their businesses.

Set to open by the second half of 2024, the eight-storey facility located in Jakarta’s Central Business District is expected to deliver over 1,600 cabinets and more than 5,300-sqm of colocation space when fully built.

Equinix’s expansion to Jakarta is aligned with the Indonesian government’s digital transformation initiatives, boosting the country’s digital infrastructure objectives according to goals set out in the Indonesia Digital Roadmap 2021–2024.

According to Jeremy Deutsch, president, Asia-Pacific, Equinix, the planned 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,” he added. “We look forward to working closely with local authorities, network providers and the broader industry ecosystem players to help unleash Indonesia’s digital potential.”

Driven by rapid business digitalisation and a substantial digital-savvy population, Indonesia has emerged as Southeast Asia’s largest digital economy in value, 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.

These trends collectively raise the need for increased digital services and data centre services capacity in Indonesia.

The new IBX data centre will incorporate sustainability into its design, leveraging innovative technologies such as cool array to support economic and environmental goals for organisations in Indonesia. This is part of Equinix’s Future First strategy that underscores the company’s commitment to green the digital economy.

Global Reach of Platform Equinix with Indonesian Operations

Platform Equinix currently spans 32 countries around the world, and this new data centre in Jakarta will serve as a business conduit for local and global enterprises, cloud & IT service providers and network service providers.

In Asia-Pacific, Equinix announced an initial investment of over US$86 million to build Equinix’s third IBX data centre in Mumbai and an investment of over $64 million for its first IBX data centre in Chennai.

Today, the global footprint of Platform Equinix spans 248 data centre across 71 metros and 32 countries, providing digital infrastructure for more than 10,000 of the world's leading businesses, including more than 50% of Fortune 500 companies. In Asia-Pacific, Equinix currently has 51 data centers in key metros across Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Singapore.
