Asia-pacific data center service provider, Big Data Exchange (BDx), has just announced the launch of its services in Indonesia through the assumption of operations across four existing data centers located in and around the capital city of Jakarta.

This announcement follows the completion of a US$300 million joint venture agreement between BDx, PT Indosat Tbk (Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison or IOH) and PT Aplikanusa Lintasarta which was signed last month.

“Hyperscalers and enterprises have a critical need for best-in-class global data centers and robust connectivity in Indonesia, and BDx Indonesia will play an integral role in empowering digital transformation across this key APAC region and beyond,” said Braham Singh, CEO of BDx.

“The existing infrastructure in Indonesia is rapidly scaling with today’s increase in digital demands, and our strategy provides companies access to the capacity and customer-focused solutions required to innovate and remain at the forefront.”

Mayank Srivastava has been appointed as the Interim President Director of the Joint Venture, overseeing BDx Indonesia’s operations.

As further announced, BDx Indonesia will modernize and expand the four operating facilities and develop new greenfield projects to enhance capacity to 70MW by 2023 and 250MW in the next five years. In addition, customers in Indonesia are expected to gain access to connectivity options across the entire BDx cluster including facilities in China, Hong Kong and Singapore.

“BDx Indonesia, drawing on the strengths of BDx, IOH and Lintasarta, is poised to become hyperscale customers’ preferred partner and one of the largest data center providers in Indonesia,” said Mayank Srivastava.

“By delivering operational excellence in globally standardized facilities, coupled with our commitment to promoting the most sustainable practices, we are excited to begin our journey to being a key player in Indonesia’s digital ecosystem.”
