PT Data Centre Infrastructure Indonesia (PT DCI) has opened a new data centre in Indonesia in partnership with Equinix. The facility, located at Cibitung in West Java, will provide premium interconnection and data centre services for local and global customers.

The partnership, which was first announced in October 2012, will provide Indonesian customers with access to 4,000 enterprises, cloud, digital content and financial companies, including over 900 network service providers that currently are housed in Equinix data centres around the world.

PT DCI has implemented disaster recovery response measures to comply with regulatory guidelines for disaster recovery and continuity of operations. For example, the new data centre is staffed by experienced technicians who will safeguard equipment and provide technical support for customers.

“The exponential growth of Internet users and proliferation of smart mobile communication devices is driving strong demand for data centre services in Indonesia,” said Marina Budiman, president director, PT DCI Indonesia. “The data centre is designed to exceed global standards and provide customers with world-class services and access to global markets. In addition, the partnership with Equinix allows us to connect with local and international financial markets and offer customers a direct link to the Indonesia Internet Exchange.”

“Our customers are increasingly demanding capacity in Indonesia, which is one of the fastest and largest growing economies in South East Asia and seen as a hotbed for growth,” said Clement Goh, managing director, Equinix South Asia. “With the launch of the new data centre, we can now offer customers the ability to grow their footprint in Indonesia within secure colocation facilities, allow them to connect with new partners and drive additional revenue opportunities.”
