The Telkom Hyperscale Data Center complements the data center facilities that Telkom owns. It also strengthens and maintains Telkom’s position as the market leader in the data center business. Telkom already has 26 data centers consisting of 5 international data centers, 18 neuCentrIX and data centers tier 3 and 4. With the support of data centers spread across many locations and connected to a broadband network, Telkom is ready and able to accommodate future needs, such as 5G, blockchain edge technology and many other future needs. This is certainly a competitive advantage for Telkom's data center to compete in the digital platform business.

With its concept of a green data center, Telkom HDC will become a data center that operates with minimum carbon dioxide gas emission. This is possible because Telkom will utilize a number of gas-fired power plants and solar panels to power its public areas and offices.

This also confirms Telkom's position as a leading telecommunications company and digital service provider in Indonesia," Ririek said.
