Singapore’s BW Digital, a subsidiary of BW Group, has announced the acquisition of land to build an 80 MW data centre in Batam’s Nongsa Digital Park (NDP), Indonesia.
The data centre will be jointly developed with the Citramas Group.
Spread over 55,000 square meters of land, this will be BW Digital’s first data centre in Southeast Asia.
It will provide solutions for enterprise, cloud and AI workloads while helping customers achieve goals for carbon neutrality and sustainability.
According to BW Digital and Citramas Group, the aim is to deliver Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions out of the new data centre.
Assets and services will include landing infrastructure for new submarine cables, international and domestic connectivity, data storage facilities, and computing power for the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.
BW Digital’s CEO, Ludovic Hutier, said the step helps create a neutral and trusted digital ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region, in tandem with the development of Hawaiki Nui, the company’s new subsea cable, which will first connect Southeast Asia and Australasia.
