Digital Edge, Jakarta, Indonesia

Digital Edge has commenced construction on a 23MW data center in Jakarta, Indonesia, marking the company’s third site in South East Asia as it capitalizes on the region’s rapid digital transformation in the wake of the global pandemic. The data center, known as EDGE2, will be operated by PT. Ekagrata Data Gemilang. The new facility will offer 3,430 cabinets and an IT load of 23MW and is designed to cater for the growing demand for high power density applications from cloud-driven hyperscale deployments, local and international network and financial service providers. When completed in Q4 2023, the project is expected to be the largest data center in downtown Jakarta, providing much needed capacity to this fast-growing metro. In line with Digital Edge’s Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) strategy the data center incorporates green design principles to reduce its carbon footprint. The facility has a market leading design annualized PUE of 1.27 and will leverage Nortek’s innovative StatePoint® liquid cooling technology, making it the most energy efficient data center in the Jakarta metro. It will also utilize renewable energy solutions similar to the Renewable Energy Certificate which the EDGE1 facility recently received.
