Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) has finalized a deal to sell its data centers and edge sites portfolio to BDx Indonesia, a joint venture involving IOH, BDx Data Centers, and Lintasarta, for IDR2.6 billion (US$170m).
The strategic sites are located in cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Batam, Medan, Makassar, Bandung, and Semarang, connected to six domestic and five international subsea cables. Indonesian banks—BCA, Bank Permata, and Bank Bukopin—will provide the funding for the acquisition.
The move is expected to enhance IOH’s ecosystem, facilitating interconnection between enterprises, cloud providers, content delivery networks, and digital finance companies.
BDx Indonesia, post-transaction, will boast a total IT capacity of 150MW+ across ten carrier-neutral colocation facilities in major Indonesian cities. IOH’s President Director and CEO, Vikram Sinha, expressed enthusiasm about shaping Indonesia’s digital future through this collaboration, emphasizing the alignment of strategic goals to elevate the nation’s technological landscape.
