Bolstering Connectivity Options through EDGE DC’s low latency connectivity and carrier neutral facility to serve Indonesia’s Fast-Growing Market

Jakarta, 20 December 2023 – Kaopu Cloud, a global edge cloud provider has announced strategic collaboration with EDGE DC as one of their main data center partners in Indonesia. As part of this strategic collaboration, Kaopu Cloud will deploy their core network PoP (Point-of-Presence) at EDGE DC to support their customers’ growing demand in the Indonesia market. In return, EDGE DC and their parent company, Indonet will support Kaopu Cloud’s colocation and network requirements through their digital infrastructure services including EPIX (“Edge Peering Internet Exchange”). This collaboration will enable Kaopu Cloud to bring their reliable, secure and scalable edge cloud services closer to their end users in Indonesia with a highly connected ecosystem and high-speed connectivity.

Kaopu Cloud decided to enter the Indonesia market early this year driven by the opportunity to bring their edge cloud services to the fourth most populated country in the world. Since their establishment, Kaopu Cloud has helped their customers to reach their end users globally through their leading edge cloud services with low latency and high scalability. Their strategy whenever entering a new market involves finding the right local partner that can help with Data Center resources and connectivity to reach the most eyeballs with speed and efficiency.

EDGE DC along with Indonet provides local knowledge and digital infrastructure resources to help connect Kaopu Cloud to their local IXs (Internet Exchanges) and other network partners in Indonesia. Additionally, EDGE DC is serving Kaopu Cloud through EPIX, a cutting-edge carrier neutral internet exchange that offers ultra-high-speed connectivity to its participants. Since its launch in 2023, EPIX has gained the trust of over 35 peering partners including global content and various Internet Service Providers (ISPs). EPIX can benefit their members including Kaopu Cloud by enabling a seamless and cost-efficient exchange of IP traffic with low latency. 

“Kaopu Cloud is proud to bring our knowledge and expertise in edge cloud technology to the Indonesian market in collaboration with EDGE DC and Indonet. There are always challenges in entering a new market and having trusted local partners like them will help our business scale up quickly and serve our end users better.

This partnership will help to deliver the greater experience from our edge cloud technology to businesses and consumers in Indonesia,” said Max Liu, CEO of Kaopu Cloud.
