Indonesia rapidly moves towards being major APAC data centre powerhouse


SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BuddeComm has released a series of country reports on data centres and analysts found that Indonesia is set to become a major APAC data centre powerhouse as it seeks to bridge the gap with its more advanced neighbours Singapore and Malaysia.

Key findings include:

  • Indonesia attracts investments from hyperscale cloud providers Google, Alibaba and Amazon, reflecting a growing interest in Indonesia as an alternative to Singapore.
  • The availability of affordable land allows companies establishing a base in Indonesia to build their own facilities more easily.
  • Latency and connectivity are increasingly becoming less of an issue in Indonesia.
  • Indonesia is among the Asian countries tightening requirements to store citizen and consumer data locally for the purpose of data protection.
  • The ongoing use of smartphones coincides with the growth in e-commerce transactions and social media.
  • As the data centre market matures, IT Service Providers and telcos, which used to dominate the market, are retreating from the market.
  • Demand is driven by the rising adoption of cloud-based services by local and international businesses.
