SM+ Data Centers says SMX01 in central Jakarta has reached Ready for Service and begun operations for customer workloads. Announced on 1 November, the opening adds a metropolitan colocation site to the company’s Indonesian network.

SM+ puts the facility’s IT load capacity at 21 megawatts and says it can expand in modular phases. The metropolitan site is designed for power-intensive computing, complementing the company’s smaller edge facilities elsewhere in Indonesia.

SMX01 is carrier-neutral, with access to multiple internet service providers and four network entry points. Connections to SM+’s edge facilities can link workloads in Jakarta with its sites elsewhere in Indonesia. The data halls support liquid cooling alongside conventional air cooling.

SM+ owns and manages SMX01. Korea Investment Real Asset Management is the investment partner, and LG Sinar Mas is responsible for design, construction and technical operations. The partners say customer onboarding and stabilising operations are their immediate priorities.
