SpaceDC's Jakarta facility has met guidelines created by the OCP Data Center

Facility Project Team, and serves as a reference for data center operators and

tenants who want to understand the fundamental facility requirements to deploy

OCP hardware into their IT space. Facilities that meet the OCP Ready(TM)

requirements and approved by the OCP Data Center Facilities Project receive the

certification as an OCP Ready(TM) facility.

Along with the facility, SpaceDC Pte Ltd has achieved ColoSolution Provider

status, which is a specific designation for members who are part of the OCP

reseller ecosystem. OCP ColoSolution Providers must exhibit strong technical,

service and support capabilities to enable scalable deployments of OCP infrastructure.

SpaceDC is committed to lowering the environmental impact of their data centers

and they have taken great care in all areas of the data center design. From

site selection to modular construction, the energy source that they'll be using

to power the facility and the recycling of waste heat, these are all aspects

that will help SpaceDC achieve their mission.

"We're thrilled to be a part of the OCP community -- the same community shared

by tech giants such as Google and Facebook. As the first OCP Colo Solution

Provider in Asia, this certification certainly affirms SpaceDC's mission of

being an efficient, reliable and scalable data center platform for businesses

looking to expand in the region. By being OCP certified, we've distinguished

ourselves as a brand whom our customers can depend on for world-class data

center solutions," said Darren Hawkins, CEO of SpaceDC.

"SpaceDC recognizes the capacity for OCP solutions to continue growing and

evolving across Asia, resulting in a need for more facilities and operators who

understand the needs of enterprise companies looking to adopt more open

hardware designs. I would like to congratulate SpaceDC for becoming the first

OCP Ready(TM) facility in Asia, which is an incredible achievement, " stated

Steve Helvie, Vice President of Channel Development for the Open Compute

Project Foundation.

"Throughout the process for JAK2 to be certified as OCP Ready(TM), their team

has demonstrated a deep technical knowledge and understanding of what it means

to create an optimised data center facility for hosting OCP IT gear. This new

colo facility is a fantastic addition to the growing portfolio of OCP Ready(TM)

data centers and will enable SpaceDC's OCP customers to take full advantage of

the TCO benefits of deploying OCP technology" stated Mark Dansie, a key member

of the OCP DC Facilities Project Team and leader of the OCP Ready(TM) program
