In this article (5)
Equinix has expanded its JK1 data center in Jakarta, through its partnership with DCI Indonesia (DCI).
Coupled with its alliance with DCI and a premium connection with the Indonesian Internet Exchange (IIX), the second phase of development at JK1 is an indicator of Equinix’s continued commitment to the region, the company said.
JK1 phase two will add approximately 400 cabinets to the data center, doubling available capacity to a total net size of 800 cabinets. The expansion is scheduled to be completed by the end of the month.
Through the DCI and Indonesian Internet Service Provider Association (APJII) collaboration, JK1 enables direct peering connection to the IIX. Companies can also access Equinix’s highly interconnected International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers across strategic global markets via existing major network providers.
JK1 is located at Cibitung, approximately 30 km from the Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD), and offers a range of colocation, interconnection and support services.
The carrier-neutral facility will be bringing more carriers into the data center to enrich network density by partnering with Indonesian Internet Service Provider Association (APJII) to provide more options for direct peering connection to the IIX.
The expansion is in line with the steady growth of the company’s global interconnection platform, in which Equinix has invested more than $7.5 billion over the last 17 years.
