Digital Realty Bersama’s launch extends PlatformDIGITAL®, Digital Realty’s global data center platform of 300+ facilities in 50+ metros across 25+ countries and six continents, into this dynamic market, directly supporting the acceleration and growth of Indonesia’s digital economy, which enjoys young and digitally savvy population. 

Digital Realty Bersama owns and operates a connected campus that includes a recently launched, state-of-the-art data center (CGK11) strategically located in Central Jakarta and another data center (CGK10) located in West Jakarta.
