Coupled with its alliance with DCI and a premium connection with the Indonesian Internet Exchange (IIX), the second phase of development at JK1 is an indicator of Equinix’s continued commitment to the region. The carrier-neutral facility will provide more options for direct peering connection to the IIX by partnering with Indonesian Internet Service Provider Association (APJII).
“The phase two expansion of JK1 does more than just cater to ongoing demand from our financial services customers. Access to IIX will provide greater connectivity for customers, especially cloud and content providers, who will benefit from interconnection to other network providers. JK1 has long been known as a leading data centre for both technical and operational excellence. This expansion will cement our commitment to customer needs by providing them with direct access to established business ecosystems,” said Clement Goh, managing director, Equinix South Asia.
JK1 phase two will add approximately 400 cabinets to the data centre, doubling available capacity to a total net size of 800 cabinets. The expansion is scheduled to be completed by the end of February 2016. Through the DCI and Indonesian Internet Service Provider Association (APJII) collaboration, JK1 enables direct peering connection to the IIX. Companies can also access Equinix’s highly interconnected International Business Exchange (IBX) data centres across strategic global markets via existing major network providers.
JK1 phase two will further extend Platform Equinix to cater to the increased demand for premium interconnection and data centre services in Indonesia and the Asia-Pacific region. The expansion will give existing customers the added capacity to easily scale when required, ensuring high-performance, network reliability, redundancy, and low latency. The expansion is in line with the steady growth of the company’s leading global interconnection platform, in which Equinix has invested more than US$7.5 billion over the last 17 years.

JK1 is home to a mix of businesses from various industries including cloud and IT services, network providers and enterprises, and a high concentration of financial services companies. Companies can leverage Equinix’s business ecosystems to connect with one another and transact to realise new business opportunities. Equinix maintains business ecosystems in advertising, cloud, financial services, media and entertainment, and mobility, and lists between 85 and over 1,000 participants for individual ecosystems.
In recent months Equinix has expanded its global footprint through the acquisitions of European data centre facilities provider TelecityGroup and Japan's Bit-isle, which increased its reach to 40 markets globally. This has strengthened its ability to help global companies connect directly to partners, customers and employees in its 145 IBX data centres around the world.
Said Marina Budiman, CEO, DCI Indonesia: “Our partnership with Equinix has helped to fast track the expansion of JK1 and has bolstered our commitment to bringing in more carriers to further enrich network density. We will be collaborating with APJII for direct peering connection to the IIX. This will provide companies looking to expand or establish themselves in Indonesia with more opportunities to interconnect with other service providers to help grow their business.”
Added Jamalul Izza, President and Chairman, APJII: “We are delighted to have partnered with DCI Indonesia to present direct peering to the Indonesia Internet Exchange (IIX) which is managed by APJII in the DCI data center. This is in line with our vision and mission which is to be actively participating in building and developing the Indonesia Internet governance to enhance the potential of human resources in the field of Internet technology and in one of APJII's programmes in increasing local traffic. We hope that with the presence of IIX in the data centre, DCI will be a great benefit to the Internet industry and foster new growth and expansion.”
