The facility uses dual power substations, 2N UPS architecture, N+1 generators, and N+1 air-cooled chillers with N+2 computer room air handlers. It has a Tier III-certified design and sits within NTT Global Data Centers' Jakarta campus alongside JKT2 and JKT3.\n\nThe company also launched APN Connect, described as Indonesia's first All-Photonics Network service. Built on Innovative Optical and Wireless Network technology, it provides Layer 1 connectivity between JKT2/JKT2A and JKT3, about 35km apart. NTT DATA says the link enables real-time data synchronization for disaster recovery, data replication, and resilient multi-data-center operations. The campus hosts more than 240 network service providers, JKT-IX, major cloud providers, and submarine-cable connections.\n\nConstruction was announced on May 15, 2024 with an early 2026 target; the opening comes after that schedule. NTT DATA projected more than $10 billion of data-center growth investment for 2023 through 2027, with JKT2A part of that program. The company aims to source 100% renewable energy for its own operations by 2030.","keyPoints":["JKT2A adds 12MW of IT capacity for AI and high-density workloads in Jakarta","APN Connect provides Layer 1 photonic connectivity between JKT2/JKT2A and JKT3, 35km apart","Part of NTT DATA's projected $10B+ data-center investment for 2023-2027"],"whyItMatters":"Expands AI-ready infrastructure in Southeast Asia with resilient, interconnected data centers supporting hyperscale and enterprise demand.","category":{"slug":"hardware","name":"Hardware & Compute","url":"https://digestai.news/category/hardware"},"entities":{"companies":["NTT DATA","NTT Global Data Centers"],"models":[],"people":["Doug Adams"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-11-03T22:40:04Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-03T22:40:04Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"Unite.AI","title":"NTT DATA Opens 12MW AI-Ready Jakarta Data Center, Launches APN Connect","url":"https://unite.ai/ntt-data-opens-12mw-ai-ready-jakarta-data-center-launches-apn-connect","publishedAt":"2026-11-03T22:40:04Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"NTT DATA opens 12MW Jakarta data center and launches APN Connect photonic network\", 3 November 2026, https://digestai.news/story/ntt-data-opens-12mw-jakarta-data-center-and-launches-apn-connect-photo","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"NTT DATA opens 12MW Jakarta data center and launches APN Connect photonic network","datePublished":"2026-11-03T22:40:04Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/ntt-data-opens-12mw-jakarta-data-center-and-launches-apn-connect-photo"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
