As Singapore reaches its data center development cap, Telkom’s subsidiary, Neutra DC Nxera, is setting up a new facility in Batam to capitalize on the regional data traffic overflow.
The establishment of a new data center in Batam by Neutra DC Nxera, a Telkom subsidiary, targets to attract business from the overflowing data center market in Singapore, where new developments have been restricted since 2016 due to land and power constraints.
Neutra DC Nxera’s new data center in Batam represents Telkom’s strategic move to capture overflow business from Singapore’s saturated market.
With Singapore imposing a moratorium on new data center constructions, Telkom sees an opportunity in Batam to serve regional demand, projected to grow significantly.
The Batam facility will focus on robust security measures with seven-layer physical protection to ensure data integrity for its clients.
Unlike traditional data centers known for high energy consumption, Telkom’s facility will leverage renewable energy sources to minimize environmental impact.
