The partnership will offer businesses the tools they need to innovate while protecting their data
Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) has teamed up with Google Cloud to bring advanced cloud services to Indonesia, addressing the country’s strict data residency, security, and privacy requirements.
The expanded partnership will introduce Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) to various sectors across the country, allowing organisations to manage AI and data-heavy tasks while maintaining control over sensitive data.
The collaboration will support industries such as public services, defence, healthcare, finance, energy, and manufacturing.
GDC offers a range of features, such as a fully managed solution that can operate either fully disconnected from the public internet for highly sensitive tasks or connected between edge locations and Google’s Indonesian data centers. This flexibility allows organisations to choose the setup that best suits their needs.
Indosat Group will provide hosting options for GDC through its data center unit, ensuring that all data stays within the country and complies with local law.
“Indonesia is paving the way towards its golden era in 2045. Indosat Group is committed to contributing through technological advancements in pursuit of this vision,” said Vikram Sinha, President Director and Chief Executive Officer of IOH.
“The partnership with Google Cloud is driven by empowering Indonesia, aiming to deliver the country’s first sovereign cloud and edge cloud solutions. These solutions will equip organizations with the state-of-the-art infrastructure, operational features, and developer tools they need to accelerate digitalization at scale,” he continued.
