Meeting Increasing Demand
Edgnex said the first phase of development is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2025 to cater to increased demand from Cloud Service Providers (CSP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) deployments.
Strategic Location
The new facility is located on MT Haryono in Jakarta, 3 kilometres from the interconnected data centre clusters, an essential internet exchange point within Jakarta's central data hub, the official release said.
To support boosting data centre capacity, Edgnex noted that more colocation data centres that adhere to sustainable Tier 3 standards for meeting the rising demands of internet usage in the region are needed.
