Rancakmedia.com – We will provide information regarding Telkom building a data center below, so please read the news until the end, happy reading.

The new national capital will be home to Telkom's data center. In the business field, PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or better known as Telkom intends to expand its data center operations.

The capital of the archipelago's newest republic, Kalimantan, is one of many locations in Indonesia earmarked for data center development. Telkom had a data center in Cikarang, West Java, before this one was built.

This was conveyed by the President Director or CEO of Telkom Group, Ririek Adriansyah in Sleman, Yogyakarta during an FGD with the media, Wednesday (8/6/2022).

"Telkom is considering building data centers in Batam, IKN, also Sulawesi and then in Manado," Building data centers in various places is part of the company's efforts to provide added value to the company's value and profits, which is the responsibility entrusted to Telkom.

Data centers in Batam, IKN, or Sulawesi are among the possibilities that Telkom is exploring, as are facilities in Manado.

However, the data center development plan at IKN is still in the investigation stage, including the investment value and capacity to be developed. Telkom continues to work together actively with the OJK Agency in completing this strategy.

He concluded that building a data center would be beneficial for IKN's long-term sustainability in terms of information technology. Where, IKN was designed with the idea of ​​a smart city.

"As for how much (investment and data center capacity) we haven't gotten there yet. "We don't know the location yet, but we continue to communicate with the IKN Authority," he continued in his remarks.

Telkom Builds Manado and Batam Data Centers

Apart from IKN, two other locations for Telkom data center development options are Manado and Batam. The selection of these two areas took into account many elements. Batam is claimed to be close to neighboring Singapore, a prospective destination.

Then Manado, connected to its location in the northernmost region of Indonesia, may be the gateway to other countries.

NeutraDC CEO Andrew Th. AF on the same occasion noted that the creation of a data center in Batam was not only to capture business prospects in Batam, but also Singapore.

Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan are the only three countries that have established themselves as major hubs for data center development. As new data center buildings are now pending in Singapore, there are many openings.

Here, Batam's opportunity is to build a new data center even though previously there were other companies joining the same business segment in Batam.

"So in Batam it is one way to capture the market. "Secondly, why is Singapore also a market because the economy and everything like that is stable," he said.

Even though we don't know where the IKN Authority is, we are in touch with them. NeutraDC CEO Andrew Th. AF noted that the creation of a data center in Batam was not only to attract business prospects from Batam, but also Singapore. Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan are the only three countries that have established themselves as major hubs for data center development.
