AMAZON developed a data center for Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing services in Indonesia with a value of US $ 2.5 billion.
According to the Director of the Electronics and Telematics Industry Ministry of Industry Janu Suryanto said the information was indeed correct. However, I can not explain where the location of the data center development.
“Amazon has already realized it. The value of US $ 2.5 billion Amazon has met with the Ministry of Industry. Although it cannot say the exact location, the data center will be developed in three locations in two regions with an area of 20 hectares each,” he said.
He said the realization of the investment was good news for Indonesia. This is certainly very good for Indonesia’s investment climate. This proves that Indonesia’s condition is not bad.
Janu considers that the development of this database will be very beneficial for the development of national business and industry. The presence of the data center is also believed to be supporting the implementation of the national industry revolution road map or Making Indonesia 4.0.
On the other hand, he considered the presence of the facility would encourage the development of local human resources. This will support Making Indonesia 4.0. In April 2019, Amazon announced plans to open a data center for AWS cloud computing services in Indonesia in 2022.
In its press release, Amazon explained the plan to open the ninth service area in the Asia Pacific, namely the Jakarta Region. The service area is planned to consist of three Availability Zones, namely physical infrastructure that is the location of AWS cloud computing data storage services. Amazon is targeting physical infrastructure in the Jakarta Region to start operating at the latest in late 2021 or at the latest in early 2022.
Before Jakarta, AWS already has eight other regions in the Asia Pacific region, namely Beijing, Mumbai, Ningxia, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo and Hong Kong which will be opened in the near future. Globally Aws has 61 Availability Zones in 20 Regions and 12 new Availability Zones in AWS Region in Bahrain, Hong Kong, Italy and South Africa will operate in semester I / 2020.
