KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 (Bernama) -- BDx Indonesia, a joint venture between BDx Data Centers, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH), and Lintasarta, along with NeutraDC, a subsidiary of Telkom Indonesia, has launched the first phase of their interconnected Internet Exchange (IX) ecosystem in Indonesia.
BDx Data Centers Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mayank Srivastava said BDx is proud to collaborate with NeutraDC in the spirit of Gotong Royong to advance Indonesia’s digital infrastructure.
"This initiative will go a long way in enhancing the quality of internet infrastructure, enhancing the user experience for all customer segments," he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, NeutraDC CEO, Andreuw Th.A.F said: "This collaboration is designed to democratise internet access, ensuring that even the most remote areas are connected to a resilient and robust digital network. By working together, we will democratise internet access and foster a transformative digital landscape."
The initiative, first revealed at a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony at the Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) 2024 conference in January, will result in the establishment of a portfolio of 108 interconnected colocation and edge sites across Indonesia.
Phase-1 includes the operational launch of BDx's CGK3 & 3A campus in Jakarta and NeutraDC's Cikarang facility, where these sites will serve as internet aggregation points, creating a hyperconnected and resilient internet backbone that will support Indonesia's digital transformation.
NeutraDC and BDx Indonesia will operate independent IXs that are interconnected to each other’s data centre ecosystem, offering a seamless customer experience. The BDx IX PoP is live at CGK3A and set to launch at NeutraDC’s Cikarang facility next month.
The NeutraDC and BDx IXs will be connected on a multi-terabit fibre ecosystem, creating a high speed resilient network on IOH and Telkom networks.
This initiative will significantly advance internet connectivity across the region, benefitting businesses, driving economic growth, and enhancing digital inclusion. With 108 interconnected sites, it offers improved resilience, faster access, scalability, and robust disaster recovery.
BDx’s specialised artificial intelligence (AI) data centres are designed to meet the demanding requirements of AI training, while the interconnected infrastructure mesh supports inference at the edge, creating a future-proof distributed AI model.
