Princeton Digital Group (PDG) has announced plans for a greenfield development in Jakarta, Indonesia, as part of its plan to expand its footprint to serve its customers’ needs in the booming Indonesian digital economy.
The new 22MW data centre, to be named Jakarta Cibitung 2 (JC2), is being built within the same 19,550m2 campus that houses PDG’s existing data centre JC1. This expanded campus of 35MW is well-poised to serve global cloud companies, domestic Internet companies and enterprises with unmatched scalability, connectivity and reliability.
“The Asia Pacific region is set to be the largest data centre market in the world, and this announcement underscores our vision to be the market leader in this region,” said Rangu Salgame, Chairman and CEO, Princeton Digital Group, “Over the last four years, through our unique three-pronged strategy of acquisitions, carve-outs and greenfield development, we’ve built a strong portfolio of data centres across key Asian markets such as China, Singapore, Indonesia, India and Japan. PDG has become a partner of choice for hyperscalers across multiple countries. PDG’s growth in Indonesia demonstrates our continued ability to expand rapidly in markets that matter to our customers.
Stephanus Tumbelaka, Managing Director of Indonesia, PDG, added: “Jakarta is an exciting market, Cibitung being the pre-eminent cloud cluster in the region. With the expanded campus, PDG has become a significant player in the Indonesian market. With the explosive economic growth and rapid digitalisation by both government and private sectors in Indonesia, the market is core to PDG’s strategy.”
The greater Jakarta area is experiencing increasing adoption of cloud-based services, among consumers, businesses and government.
According to Structure Research, the Jakarta data centre co-location market is still developing, and the sector is expected to grow at a five-year CAGR of 23.7% through 2025. Jakarta is expected to be a hyperscale market sooner than later.
