Jakarta, Indonesia – Cloud services provider Tencent Cloud has launched its recent affiliation with data centre platform Digital Edge, revitalising the connectivity landscape in Indonesia.
In this partnership, Tencent Cloud is expected to have direct access to ‘Edge Peering Internet Exchange’ (EPIX), operated by Gemilang. Through this platform, the facilitation and exchange of data among cloud users will be more efficient and systematic.
EPIX also provides ultra-high-speed access as a carrier-neutral internet exchange platform. This tool is essential for connecting with the global network as it allows rapid and cost-effective interchange of IP traffic between carriers, ISPs, content providers, and enterprises.
Consistent with their commitment to foster connectivity, the said collaboration also brings together a strengthened digital infrastructure in Indonesia’s growing markets.
Jimmy Chen, vice president of Tencent Cloud International and managing director of Southeast Asia, said, “We are pleased to further establish ourselves as a major international cloud services provider, hand-in-hand with EPIX in Jakarta. This achievement is a testament to our 20+ years of experience in technological innovation and our robust infrastructure foundation.
“By establishing this connection, we are taking a significant step towards promoting connectivity in emerging markets and driving the advancement of digital infrastructure. We are genuinely excited about the vast opportunities this collaboration presents and remain fully committed to accelerating the digital transformation across diverse industries in Indonesia,” he added.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Chou, chief product officer at Digital Edge, also shared his esteemed support for the partnership, stating, “Digital Edge is committed to offering diverse connectivity options to our colocation customers, including providing internet exchanges to enable peering and foster a thriving digital ecosystem within our data centres.
“Through working with leading cloud services providers such as Tencent Cloud, we are able to further our mission to bridge the digital divide and bolster digital infrastructure across Asia’s fast-growing markets, including Indonesia,” Chou ended.
Presently, Tencent Cloud has already established a global infrastructure network that extends to 26 geographic areas and 70 availability zones, including two data centres in Jakarta, Indonesia. It has also provided 400 technologies and connectivity solutions to support enterprise-grade digital transformation.
