Jakarta, 22 October 2021 – PT Ekagrata Data Gemilang (Digital Edge Indonesia), a subsidiary of PT Indointernet Tbk (Indonet), has officially launched its first Edge Data Center, EDGE1, in downtown Jakarta. Strategically located near major internet hubs, EDGE1 ensures low latency connectivity and faster data transfer. The facility boasts a 6.0 MW IT Load capacity, 5 floors of data halls, and can accommodate up to 1,300 racks.

Digital Edge Indonesia fully owns and operates the site, marking a significant milestone in Indonesia’s digital infrastructure.
“EDGE1 is our stepping stone in pioneering the Edge Data Center ecosystem in Indonesia, aiming to support the next generation of digital businesses. We are committed to building world-class facilities in downtown Jakarta, with plans to expand to over 40 MW of IT load capacity,” said Stephanus Oscar, CEO of Digital Edge Indonesia.
According to Philbert Shih from Structure Research, Jakarta’s colocation market is projected to reach USD647 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 21.2% between 2021 and 2026. This growth is driven by Indonesia’s booming digital economy, increasing cloud adoption, and the rise of start-ups, creating a strong demand for colocation and Edge Data Centers like EDGE1.
Indonet’s CEO, Karla Winata, emphasized, “As businesses increasingly adopt digital solutions, providing critical IT infrastructure is a natural progression for us. Digital Edge Indonesia combines scalable, world-class infrastructure with a strategic location near Jakarta’s major network hubs. Coupled with Indonet’s network solutions, customers at Digital Edge Indonesia can achieve high-speed interconnectivity essential for business growth.”
To ensure top-tier service and reliability, Digital Edge Indonesia has partnered with PT DCI Indonesia Tbk (DCI). This collaboration leverages DCI’s infrastructure design, operational standards, and a 99.999% SLA, ensuring minimal downtime. DCI Indonesia’s CEO, Toto Sugiri, highlighted the strategic advantage of EDGE1 and DCI’s locations, offering customers primary and disaster recovery center options or separate availability zones for cloud providers.
Digital Edge Indonesia’s facilities are cloud and carrier-neutral, providing flexibility for customers’ network and connectivity needs. Additionally, Digital Edge Indonesia benefits from Indonet’s network solutions, including HyperScale conneX (HSX), enabling seamless connectivity between data centers, multi-cloud environments, and internet exchanges.
Over 55% of EDGE1’s 6 MW IT Load capacity has already been contracted, reflecting strong customer demand. Digital Edge Indonesia plans to expand its capacity to over 40 MW in downtown Jakarta, with a second site already acquired. Stephanus Oscar expressed gratitude for DCI Indonesia’s partnership and welcomed Digital Edge as a majority shareholder, citing their regional expertise as a key driver for future growth.
“We are committed to supporting Indonesia’s digital economy through Digital Edge Indonesia and Indonet’s solutions. With its strong ecosystem, Digital Edge Indonesia is poised to become the preferred service provider for global players, including hyperscalers, looking to expand into Indonesia,” said Samuel Lee, CEO of Digital Edge.
