DCI Indonesia: Stronger Cloud Capabilities for Industry 4.0

The era of Industry 4.0 in today’s world makes the amount of data increase dramatically every day. In 2020 alone, the amount of data created and replicated reached a new high. The growth was higher than previously expected caused by the increased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as more people worked and learned from home and used home entertainment options more often. And over the next five years up to 2025, global data creation is projected to grow to more than 180 zettabytes. To process all the data generated, of course, requires a large storage capacity. In this case, having an on-premise data centre can indeed be a mainstay so that data can be accessed quickly and safely. However, when data grows too rapidly, the flexibility and scalability of the data centre from time to time will find it difficult to keep up with fast data growth. Businesses should thus see the hybrid data centre as an opportunity for better data processing. Because, in the era of Industry 4.0 like now, good data processing will automatically go hand in hand with increased production.

Enter DCI Indonesia.

Being the first tier-IV data centre in the APAC region, DCI provides worldclass data centre services, bringing businesses peace of mind. DCI Indonesia is the leading data centre provider in Indonesia. Established as an enabler for the business community, DCI provides reliable, well networked, and well managed Cloud and carrieragnostic data centre infrastructure services.

Marco Cioffi, DCI’s Operations Director, says: “With the rapid growth of Indonesia’s digital economy, demand for colocation services with high standards has flourished. To align with demand, we are expanding connections within the data centre ecosystem, implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and predictive maintenance, and increasing energy efficiency in our data centres. With AI and predictive maintenance, it is easier to detect risks of any incidents in the data centre infrastructure. They also lower risks of human error in the operational process.”

For this, DCI uses a purposely built data centre across total land of 8.5ha. Coupled with this is DCI’s ecosystem of cloud providers that supports a hybrid data centre scheme. The hybrid data centre at DCI Indonesia supports the realisation of low latency when sending data, high data security, and cuts unnecessary costs.

To this extent, the American business consulting firm Frost & Sullivan has recognised DCI’s efforts in responding to data centre market demands with plans to expand hyperscale data centres with comprehensive IT capabilities and the use of AI technology. Frost & Sullivan has been awarded DCI Indonesia “Company of the Year” award in the data centre services industry for the second year in a row.



With many similar recognition under its hood, DCI is now poised to strengthen its value proposition by leveraging a network-centric view through the launch of the Internet Exchange and portal cross-connect. The holistic growth strategy is expected to give DCI Indonesia a strategic advantage in Indonesia's increasingly competitive data centre services ecosystem to achieve significant growth and customer wins across cloud and hyperscale enterprise segments.
