ISAT – Data center business spurred by cooperation with NVDIA

ISAT – Data center business spurred by cooperation with NVDIA Indosat Ooredoo (ISAT) has agreed to cooperate with NVDIA as a global AI chip company to develop a new generation of sustainable, hyper-connected server and data center infrastructure equipped with AI. The deal took place at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. ISAT through its subsidiary, Lintasarta, will also present NVDIA's full-stack AI platform and provide access to GPU technology with high-density data centers connected to the public internet with speeds of up to 400 Gbps for businesses in Indonesia. Currently, AI-based servers and data center in Indonesia are still around 850k units, while in America it has reached 29.3 mn servers and in China it has reached 15.8 mn servers. However, the use of AI in servers and data centers must also be done thoroughly because there are still many conventional servers and data centers. Currently, there are 8 sectors that are required to store data in Indonesia, namely electronic payment systems, government, health, energy and mineral resources, transportation, technology and information, and food security. ISAT also conducts various collaborations with global partners, ranging from the launch of Indosat Marvelous Xperience Center innovation exhibition to cooperation in high-tech data centers. To carry out all these collaborations and innovations, ISAT allocates capex worth IDR12.7 tn in this year which will be used to expand its network to villages outside Java. (Source : Bisnis Indonesia)
