uawei Cloud has announced the launching of its Indonesia region as an endeavor to capitalize on the country’s digital transformation, which requires increased cloud-computing infrastructure.
“[This region’s launch] is very important in reaching the national vision of Indonesia Emas [Golden Indonesia] 2045,” Coordinating Maritime Affairs and Investment Minister Luhut Pandjaitan said on Thursday.
Luhut said Huawei’s cloud-based local data centers could create the ecosystem needed for digital development in the country and hence the growth of the digital economy.
Huawei revealed that the Indonesia cloud region had 29 availability zones within it, wherein local top carriers are directly connected for low-latency, one-hop connections, allowing for access within 20 milliseconds in major cities.
The company says its technology ensures high availability at 99.99 percent, zero data loss, and service continuity, with level-6 certification from the Disaster Recovery Institute International.
Huawei Indonesia CEO Jacky Chen said: “The Indonesia region is a regional hub of KooVerse,” which is a global storage, computation and network resource of Huawei Cloud.
The launch is part of Huawei’s deal with the government as part of Indonesia’s digital transformation, which comes with an investment commitment of US$300 million over five years for local cloud infrastructure.
