Intelligence Brief: Indonesia’s compute stack just hit a new tier. In June 2025, DCI Indonesia inaugurated JK6 — a 36 MW, liquid-cooled, AI-ready facility at the DCI H1 Campus (Cibitung). The message: Indonesia is no longer just “cloud demand.” It is building AI-grade supply.
01. The Asset: 36 MW of High-Density Colocation
JK6 expands DCI’s platform into a higher-density era — designed for AI clusters, not just classic enterprise racks. With the launch of JK6, DCI reported total installed capacity reaching ~119 MW, positioning it among the country’s largest colocation operators.
Why Liquid Cooling
Air cooling breaks at extreme rack density. Liquid cooling is the “AI tax” you pay to run modern accelerators at scale.
Translation: AI infra requires capex, engineering, and disciplined ops.
Location Advantage
West Java corridors (Cibitung/Cikarang) benefit from industrial power, logistics access, and proximity to Jakarta’s demand.
Compute wants stable power before it wants cheap land.
02. GEO-Strategy: The West Java Compute Belt
| Factor | West Java Belt | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Power | Industrial-grade availability | AI clusters are power contracts |
| Latency | Close to Jakarta demand | Enterprise inference needs low ping |
| Build Speed | Repeatable campus model | Capacity compounds faster |
03. Startup Impact: AI Moves Closer to the Customer

Analyst Outlook
"JK6 is a tell: Indonesia’s data centers are evolving from capacity to capability. In an AI world, capability (density + cooling + reliability) is the real moat."
