Digital Realty to launch ServiceFabric in Indonesia data centers in 2026

Digital Realty plans a 2026 ServiceFabric launch in Indonesia, linking networks and cloud systems across CGK10 and CGK11.

A growing need to link local systems with global platforms is shaping how data centers expand in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, this demand is tied to rising internet use, cloud services, and more complex workloads such as artificial intelligence.

Digital Realty plans to introduce its interconnection platform, ServiceFabric, in Indonesia in the second half of 2026. The rollout will be handled through Digital Realty Bersama, its joint venture with Bersama Digital Infrastructure Asia.

The platform will be deployed at the CGK10 and CGK11 data centers. It is set up to connect networks, cloud providers, and IT systems in one place, allowing companies to move data and run workloads across different locations. The goal is to shorten the time required to set up connections and expand capacity as demand grows.

Digital Realty Bersama also plays a role as a local exchange point. The CGK11 site hosts the IIX-JK2 node operated by the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association. This setup helps route domestic traffic with low delay, which supports businesses that rely on real-time data.

The facilities are built with redundancy in mind, following Tier IV design standards. This level of design focuses on fault tolerance and system backup, with an expected uptime of 99.995%. The goal is to keep services running even during equipment failure or maintenance.

Demand rises as digital economy expands

Indonesia's digital economy continues to expand. Estimates suggest it could pass USD 130 billion by 2026, driven by online services, mobile use, and enterprise tech adoption. As activity grows, companies are looking for infrastructure that can handle higher data volumes while staying connected to global networks.

ServiceFabric is part of Digital Realty's broader PlatformDIGITAL system. It is meant to bring together different parts of the digital stack into one environment. By removing location-based limits, the platform may help businesses exchange data more easily between local and overseas systems. This is especially relevant for workloads such as AI and high-performance computing, which often require access to large datasets and distributed resources.

Andha Yudha Permana, Director of Business & Commercial at Digital Realty Bersama, said, "We are excited to bring our ServiceFabric platform to Indonesia. This open platform fosters a collaborative and well-connected ecosystem that is critical for enabling artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads."

He added, "With ServiceFabric, customers can manage their connectivity independently, link local infrastructure to international hubs in minutes, and access the interconnection flexibility needed to accelerate their digital transformation, all without compromising the security standards we have established."

Infrastructure shifts to support AI workloads

Demand for these types of connections is increasing as companies adopt more advanced tools. AI systems and data-heavy applications often require high-density setups and more efficient cooling systems. Data centers are adapting by supporting higher power loads and new cooling methods.

ServiceFabric is expected to support this shift by allowing businesses to link their infrastructure to regional and global hubs. This may help reduce delays in data transfer and improve access to external services.

Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific at Digital Realty, said, "Indonesia is a key market for us in Asia Pacific, given the pace of digital growth and the increasing demand for connected infrastructure. Since the formation of our joint venture in 2025, our focus has been on bringing together our global platform with strong local capabilities to support customers here."

She said the need to connect systems across locations will continue to grow as AI workloads expand. "The upcoming launch of ServiceFabric will help customers in Indonesia link their infrastructure to regional and global platforms more easily, and support the next phase of digital growth across the market," she said.
