First turnkey data center in Indonesia

Challenge

The Indonesian government’s strategic direction is to push the fiber and 4G network coverage nationwide as well as have all data from companies in Indonesia stored within the country. Our telecommunications customer aimed to rapidly grasp the market opportunities and therefore had the urgent request to build a modern, reliable and efficient data center to fulfill market needs as well as international regulations for data storage.

Approach

Equipped with a certified design and after-sales service team, DKSH leveraged its strong network of local partners and consultants to meet the customer’s tight technical, budget and timeline requirements. The regular and close collaboration between the local DKSH and regional Vertiv experts meant that the customer had a “one team” experience.

Besides consulting services, DKSH also acted as the main contractor to build the turnkey solution including civil/mechanical/electric work, power and cooling equipment, generators, racks, batteries and a customized data center monitoring software.

Result

The new facility, located in the heart of Jakarta, went live at the beginning of 2018 and helps our customer serve the banking industry, which has a high and growing demand for cloud colocation. Despite being a relative newcomer to the telecommunication industry, DKSH has gained the trust of its customers, partners and competitors and was recently nominated as among the “Top 5 Data Center System Integrators in Indonesia” by IPSOS business consulting firm.
