Phase 1 includes the operational launch of BDx’s CGK3 and 3A campuses in Jakarta and NeutraDC’s Cikarang facility.
These sites will serve as internet aggregation points, creating a hyperconnected and resilient internet backbone supporting Indonesia’s digital transformation.
NeutraDC and BDx Indonesia will operate independent IXs interconnected to each other’s data centre ecosystems.
The BDx point-of-presence (PoP) is live at CGK3A and set to launch at NeutraDC’s Cikarang facility in September 2024.
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.
"BDx is proud to collaborate with NeutraDC in the spirit of Gotong Royong to advance Indonesia’s digital infrastructure," said Mayank Srivastava, CEO of BDx Data Centers.
"This initiative will go a long way in enhancing the quality of internet infrastructure, enhancing the user experience for all customer segments."
At the launch event for the first phase of the interconnected IX ecosystem in Indonesia, Andreuw Th.A.F. said: "Our strategic partnership with BDx Indonesia marks a significant milestone in supporting Indonesia's digital transformation.
“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.”
This initiative will 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.
Key cities like Batam, Surabaya, Medan, Makassar, Bandung and Semarang are part of phase two of the expansion plan.
