), the pioneer in global Hyperlocal to Hyperscale Data Center Solutions,

announces that it will further expand its presence in Asia with the acquisition

of GTN Data Center in Indonesia. This marks EdgeConneX ninth market in Asia

that is either established or under development as it continues rapidly

building out its data center platform in the region.  Strategically located in

Bekasi Cikarang, part of greater Jakarta, GTN has been operating a Tier 3

certified data center since 2016. GTN was established via a joint venture

between Japan's Mitsui and local IT distributor and integrator, PT Multipolar

Technology, which is part of Indonesian conglomerate Lippo Group. In addition,

EdgeConneX has acquired a plot of land directly adjacent to GTN, allowing for a

future hyperscale data center campus that could ultimately support more than 90

MWs of capacity.

Having announced plans to build a pan-Indian data center platform through a

joint venture, AdaniConneX, as well as announcing a strategic investment in

Chayora, a leading data center operator in China, the acquisition of the GTN

Data Center in Indonesia represents the 3rd major country in Asia that

EdgeConneX has entered as part of its global expansion strategy.  GTN's carrier

neutral facility supports over 50 customers in a nearly 7MW facility located in

a secure area with reliable, scalable, and diverse power sources and a 100% SLA

record.

In a data center market that Structure Research forecasts will reach nearly

$650 million by 2026, with nearly 2/3 of it coming from hyperscaler demand,

Jakarta is another market in the region witnessing rapid growth driven by cloud

adoption.  Providing high quality and reliable hyperscale digital

infrastructure is essential to support the digital transformation of Indonesia

and also help it serve as a regional gateway.  

"Our legacy is being able to successfully and quickly deliver data center

infrastructure at the Edge," said Kelvin Fong, Managing Director (APAC) at

EdgeConneX. "As we continue to expand both our Edge and hyperscale data center

platform globally, the planned hyperscale data center campus in Jakarta will

give us capabilities to meet our customers' requirements for capacity in this

vital and growing market in the APAC region."

"Entry into Indonesia gives EdgeConneX presence in three of the largest

countries in the world outside the United States. This is a market with

tremendous long-term upside. Indonesia has strong demographics, a rapidly

rising homegrown technology sector, and is early in the adoption curve when it

comes to outsourced infrastructure services like cloud and data centres,"

stated Philbert Shih, Founder of Structure Research. "The acquisition of an

operating business and land plot fits exactly with what EdgeConneX is doing

around Hyperlocal and Hyperscale. It can cater to local enterprises and service

providers while having the capacity and runway to serve hyperscale clouds.

Indonesia, unlike many markets in the world, is home to all the major US and

Chinese hyperscale clouds, and this will create incredible volumes of demand

for hyperscale data centers."
