Equinix has inaugurated its first International Business Exchange (IBX) data centre in Jakarta under the joint venture with PT Astra International.
This high-performance data centre, called JK1, provides access to more than 50 global and local network service providers and internet exchanges, forming a robust ecosystem to support businesses expanding in Indonesia.
By leveraging Equinix’s cloud-dense platform, businesses in Indonesia can deploy data networks and services rapidly and at scale with a global footprint and extensive digital ecosystem.
Haris Izmee, Equinix managing director in Indonesia, said that e-commerce remains Indonesia’s largest sector in the digital economy, with the industry potentially reaching US$120 billion in 2025.
“This growth is further accelerated by a remarkable surge in cloud adoption, driving the demand for robust connectivity and scalable, high-performance digital infrastructure,” he said.
Furthermore, as the nation gears for Indonesia Emas 2045 vision, establishing itself as a key digital hub in Asia will be crucial for long-term economic transformation,” he added. “The inauguration of JK1 serves as a major milestone for Equinix, and we remain committed to support Indonesia’s broader ambitions for sustained economic growth.”
Equinix JK1 is located in Jakarta’s Central Business District, in close proximity to major internet exchanges in the region. This enables Indonesian businesses to access the rich network of highly connected International Business Exchanges globally.
JK1 is an eight-story facility that offers 550 cabinets in the first phase, with a total capacity of 1,600 cabinets and colocation space of 5,300 square meters when fully built.
The facility will provide interconnection services, including Equinix Fabric and Equinix Internet Access, enabling businesses in Indonesia to build their own ecosystems and capitalise on digital opportunities.
Currently, the global footprint of Platform Equinix spans 270 data centres across 75 metros and 35 countries.
In the Asia-Pacific, Equinix currently operates 60 data centres in 16 key metros across Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia and Singapore. The company also announced its market entry into the Philippines and Thailand last year.
