BDx Indonesia’s CGK4 AI Campus Gains NVIDIA DGX-Ready Certification, Bolstering National AI Ambitions
Jakarta, Indonesia — April 17, 2025 — BDx Data Centers (BDx), one of Asia’s leading carrier-neutral data center operators, has announced a significant milestone with its Indonesian facility, CGK4, officially recognized as a NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center. The certification positions the site as a next-generation AI infrastructure hub capable of supporting enterprise-scale artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) initiatives.
Indonesia’s First 500MW AI Campus with Green Tech Edge
Located near Jakarta, CGK4 is now the first AI campus in Indonesia to achieve this global standard, with a massive 500-megawatt capacity dedicated to AI workloads. The facility is powered by renewable energy sources and is designed from the ground up to support high-density, energy-efficient computing environments.
BDx’s implementation of direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology across its infrastructure reflects a growing trend in sustainable AI computing. This advanced cooling method helps reduce power usage effectiveness (PUE), enabling the data center to run AI models at scale without overheating or excessive energy consumption.
NVIDIA Partnership: Empowering AI Factories Across Southeast Asia
The certification is part of the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center Program, a global initiative that identifies data centers capable of hosting NVIDIA DGX systems—purpose-built platforms for large AI workloads and generative AI training.
“AI is no longer a buzzword—it’s a transformative force reshaping economies,” said Mayank Srivastava, CEO of BDx. “Achieving DGX-ready status signals BDx’s commitment to empowering Indonesia’s AI transformation by delivering infrastructure that meets global AI and ESG standards.”
Tony Paikeday, Senior Director of AI Systems at NVIDIA, emphasized the regional importance of this development:
“AI-driven innovation depends on robust infrastructure. With BDx CGK4 now DGX-certified, Indonesian enterprises and startups alike can access the computing backbone needed to build next-generation AI applications—from healthcare to finance and beyond.”
Supporting Indonesia’s National AI Strategy
The move aligns closely with Indonesia’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2045, which aims to position the country as a regional AI powerhouse through strategic investments in digital infrastructure, talent development, and industry collaboration.
CGK4 is poised to support local AI startups, research institutions, and global cloud providers looking to expand in Southeast Asia. BDx has also announced future plans to launch AI-as-a-Service offerings from the campus, giving businesses of all sizes access to AI compute resources on demand.
Global Context: AI Infrastructure Race Intensifies
The announcement comes amid a global push to establish AI-dedicated infrastructure. Major players like Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure have accelerated their own AI data center expansions worldwide. BDx’s move puts Indonesia on the map as an emerging player in the global AI data ecosystem.
According to a recent IDC report, Southeast Asia’s AI market is expected to reach USD 4.3 billion by 2026, driven by rising enterprise adoption and government-backed digital transformation initiatives.
What’s Next for BDx?
As AI use cases like generative AI, LLMs (Large Language Models), and real-time analytics become mainstream, facilities like CGK4 are expected to play a pivotal role in enabling the compute demands of tomorrow. BDx is also exploring partnerships with universities and tech accelerators to support AI research and workforce development across Indonesia.
