17 April 2023

BDx Indonesia recently held the ground-breaking ceremony for its greenfield data centre, CGK3A, in TB Simatupang, South Jakarta.

The US$150 million 15MW data centre was built with the objective of providing global and leading data centre services for companies and hyperscalers in Indonesia.

The development of CGK3A is motivated by the growth of Indonesia's digital economy, which was valued at US$77 billion by the end of 2022 and is predicted to grow to US$130 billion by 2025. The CGK3A will answer the need for a strong and competent digital infrastructure to facilitate this massive growth. The data centre's addition into BDx data centre portfolio in Indonesia is also part of the company's plan to provide 70MW data centre capacity by the end of 2023.

In addition to connectivity, this data centre is equipped with Tier III data centre facilities, as well as advanced security systems, automation technology and high network uptime. The data centre is built to provide operational excellence and a sustainable solution with a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.4 – without compromising its productivity and scalability.

CGK3A is targeted to be fully operational by the end of 2023.
