The campus, which will be ready by 2019, aims to capitalize on Indonesia's growing digital economy by providing reliable, flexible and energy efficient data center services.
Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC is partnering data centre provider Polymer Connected to develop a data center campus in Jakarta, the Singapore-based firm announced on Thursday.
Located in Jakarta Barat, Polymer Connected’s first campus in Indonesia campus will include 2.6MW Tier III and 26MW Tier IV data center facilities. It will also be the first green Indonesian data center to utilize Jakarta’s natural gas network to produce electricity.
The firm noted that the hyperscale data center will be scalable, reliable and secure, and will be leased on a large, long-term basis to wholesale clients.
Growing Digital Economy
«With a population of 575 million, 350 million internet users and 390 million active mobile users, Southeast Asia’s digital economy is forecasted to triple to $240 billion by 2025. Data centers represent the backbone of this movement, which is why Polymer Connected chose to build its hyperscale data network here,» Darren Hawkins, CEO Polymer Connected, said.
Polymer Connected builds data centers that focus on high-quality, secure and sustainable cloud storage, capitalizing on Southeast Asia's fast-emerging digital markets.
