Equinix Doubles Capacity of Jakarta Data Center

with New Expansion 

• JK1 phase two will add approximately 400 cabinets to the data center, doubling available capacity to a total net size of 800 cabinets. The expansion is scheduled to be completed by the end of February 2016.
• Through the DCI and Indonesian Internet Service Provider Association (APJII) collaboration, JK1 enables direct peering connection to the IIX. Companies can also access Equinix’s highly interconnected International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers across strategic global markets via existing major network providers.
• JK1 is located at Cibitung, approximately 30 km from the Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD), and offers a full range of premium colocation, interconnection and support services. The carrier-neutral facility will be bringing more carriers into the data center to enrich network density by partnering with Indonesian Internet Service Provider Association (APJII) to provide more options for direct peering connection to the IIX.
• JK1 phase two will further extend Platform Equinix™ to cater to the increased demand for premium interconnection and data center services in Indonesia and the Asia-Pacific region. The expansion will give existing customers the added capacity to easily scale when required, ensuring high-performance, network reliability, redundancy, and low latency. The expansion is in line with the steady growth of the company’s leading global interconnection platform, in which Equinix has invested more than $7.5 billion over the last 17 years.
• JK1 is home to a mix of businesses from various industries including cloud and IT services, network providers and enterprises, and a high concentration of financial services companies. Companies can leverage Equinix’s rich business ecosystems to connect with one another and transact to realize new business opportunities.
• In recent months Equinix has significantly expanded its global footprint through the acquisitions of TelecityGroup and Bit-isle which increased its reach to 40 markets globally. This has strengthened its ability to help global companies connect directly to partners, customers and employees in its 145 IBX data centers around the world. By facilitating more collaboration across borders, Equinix is a key proponent of the interconnected era and is bringing people and businesses closer together to accelerate business growth.

Marina Budiman, CEO, DCI Indonesia:

“Our partnership with Equinix has helped to fast track the expansion of JK1 and has bolstered our commitment to bringing in more carriers to further enrich network density. We will be collaborating with the Indonesian Internet Service Provider Association (APJII) for direct peering connection to the IIX. This will provide companies looking to expand or establish themselves in Indonesia with more opportunities to interconnect with other service providers to help grow their business.”

Jamalul Izza, president, Chairman, APJII:

“We are delighted to have partnered with DCI Indonesia to present direct peering to the Indonesia Internet Exchange (IIX) which is managed by APJII in the DCI data center. This is in line with our vision and mission which is to be actively participating in building and developing the Indonesia Internet governance to enhance the potential of human resources in the field of internet technology and in one of APJII’s programs in increasing local traffic. We hope that with the presence of IIX in the data center, DCI will be a great benefit to the internet industry and foster new growth and expansion.”

Clement Goh, managing director, Equinix South Asia:

“The phase two expansion of JK1 does more than just cater to ongoing demand from our financial services customers. Access to IIX will provide greater connectivity for customers, especially cloud and content providers, who will benefit from interconnection to other network providers. JK1 has long been known as a leading data center for both technical and operational excellence. This expansion will cement our commitment to customer needs by providing them with direct access to established business ecosystems.”
