US$94 million total investment in JK1 expands one of Indonesia's most interconnected digital ecosystems, adding AI-ready capacity, liquid cooling and enhanced interconnection capabilities to support cloud, data and AI growth
JAKARTA, Indonesia, November 10, 2026 — Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, today announced the next phase of its JK1 International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data center in Jakarta, bringing Equinix's total investment in the facility to US$94 million. The expansion will add approximately 1,125 cabinets and AI-ready capabilities, including liquid cooling technology.
This expansion comes as Indonesia's digital economy continues to accelerate, with projections indicating it could reach between US$220 billion and US$360 billion by 20301. As organizations increasingly adopt AI, cloud and data-intensive applications, demand is rising for secure, highly connected digital infrastructure. JK1 supports Indonesia's ambition to become a leading digital economy in Southeast Asia, complementing government initiatives such as the National AI Roadmap and broader efforts to attract investment in AI, cloud and digital infrastructure. Together, these trends are driving the need for greater AI-ready capacity, connectivity, and digital ecosystems to support the country's next phase of growth.
Since opening JK1 in May 2025, Equinix has tripled its capacity in Indonesia, while building one of the country's most densely connected digital ecosystems. Today, the facility brings together more than 70 internet service providers and 60 network providers, with connectivity to leading global cloud platforms including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud. This rich ecosystem enables organizations to securely connect to the infrastructure, networks, partners, and digital services they need in a single location, helping them accelerate cloud adoption, support AI initiatives, and improve digital performance.
Through Equinix’s interconnection services including Equinix Fabric® software-defined interconnection, Customers at JK1 can deploy AI-ready infrastructure alongside direct, private connections to cloud, network and ecosystem partners, giving them the flexibility to build and scale hybrid multi-cloud/AI architectures on their own terms. Connected capacity on Equinix Internet Exchange at JK1 grew 46% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting growing demand for local interconnection in Indonesia amid continued growth in cloud adoption, AI workloads and distributed digital architectures.
By combining expanded capacity, dense connectivity and advanced cooling technologies, JK1 helps customers build the resilient digital foundation needed to support next-generation AI applications, cloud architectures and long-term business growth.
Equinix's approach to growth in Indonesia is grounded in responsible infrastructure development. JK1 is designed to support high-density AI workloads with advanced liquid cooling technologies and efficient heat management, while operational practices are guided by Equinix's global Future First strategy, which focuses on growing digital infrastructure sustainably, driving social progress and leading with integrity.
