Digital Realty, BDIA form joint venture to expand Indonesia data centres

It will tap into the growing demand for cloud and AI infrastructure.

Digital Realty and Bersama Digital Infrastructure Asia (BDIA) have formed a 50-50 joint venture, Digital Realty Bersama, to develop and operate data centres across Indonesia.

The venture expands Digital Realty’s PlatformDIGITAL® into the country, tapping into growing demand for cloud and AI infrastructure.

The joint venture includes Bersama Digital Data Centres (BDDC), BDIA’s Jakarta-based carrier-neutral data center platform, which will now operate as Digital Realty Bersama. BDIA’s key investors include Provident Capital Partners, Saratoga Investama Sedaya, Macquarie Asset Management, and Distro Hub.

Digital Realty Bersama operates two Jakarta data centers, name CGK11 in Central Jakarta and CGK10 in West Jakarta. CGK11 launched with 5MW of IT load capacity and will expand to 32MW. It serves as a major connectivity hub, linking to Indonesia’s largest internet exchange, APJII, and Digital Realty’s ServiceFabric™ platform for managing hybrid IT and AI workloads.

“Indonesia’s digital economy is growing rapidly, and we are committed to providing the infrastructure businesses need to scale,” said Serene Nah, managing director of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty.

Digital Realty invested $100m for a 50% stake in the joint venture. It will also earn property management and development fees.

Jakarta’s colocation market is expected to generate $499m in 2025, with a five-year CAGR of 11% and an estimated 54.6MW uptake, according to Structure Research.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
