Indonet accelerates digital growth in Indonesia with automated data centers

“Our vision is to become a digital infrastructure enabler,” says Nic Tjioe, senior vice president of sales at Indonet.

Established in 1994 as the country’s first private ISP, Indonet has a mission to build and drive digital transformation in Indonesia. Indonet is growing rapidly as it serves financial services firms, e-commerce companies, hyperscale cloud providers, and small and medium-sized businesses.

To meet rising demand for digital infrastructure in Jakarta, Indonet is building EDGE2, a massive data center with 23 mW of power and room for 3400 cabinets, just a few kilometers from EDGE1, the facility Indonet opened in 2021. Indonet wanted to automate the setup and operations of both data center networks and unite them in a seamless virtual environment.

“Manually provisioning our legacy network takes a lot of time and has a higher risk factor for error,” says Rahman Isnaini, business solution manager at Indonet.

With scalable, automated networking, Indonet can bring digital infrastructure to more parts of Indonesia with greater efficiency and sustainability. Indonet sees a big opportunity in the manufacturing sector, in support of the government’s Industry 4.0 initiative to transform manufacturing and expand exports.

“We can provision services faster with Apstra,” says Isnaini. “With Juniper, we can simplify our network and build more scalable digital infrastructure.”

Apstra brings not only an operational efficiency advantage, but also helps the Indonet team train new data center operations staff and free up skilled engineers for strategic work.

“With automation, fewer people can do more work and there are fewer errors,” says Isnaini.
