Jakarta (24 Oct 2017) - Datacomm Cloud Business, a business unit of PT Datacomm Diangraha that provides cloud services, today delivered two announcements as part of the 2nd anniversary celebration of Datacomm Cloud Business which took place on October 8, 2017. First, the achievement of the ANSI/TIA-942:2017 design certificate and the DCOS (Data Centre Operations Standard) from Enterprise Products Integration (EPI). Second, the colocation data centre cooperation with PT PGAS Telekomunikasi Nusantara (PGASCOM).

Accompanying the theme of Accelerating Cloud Computing Adoption, Datacomm reinforced its determination to, firstly, meet the demand for local cloud computing service providers with international standards. Secondly, support the rapidly growing digital economy of Indonesia such as e-commerce, IoT, fintech, and on demand services by offering various cloud services. It supports the Government Regulation No. 82 of 2012 which stipulates that cloud service providers are required to have a data centre and disaster recovery centre located in Indonesia. To that end, Datacomm has established the Datacomm Datacenter Federation with data centre locations in Jakarta, Bandung and Medan.

Datacomm Cloud Business Obtains ANSI/TIA-942:2017 Design Certificate and DCOS

ANSI/TIA-942:2017 is an international standard for data centre facilities design and build. The ANSI/TIA-942:2017 is the superior certification among its kind. The scope of this certification is far more extensive and covers not only mechanical and electrical, but also architecture and telecommunications.

Datacomm Data Center has met the Rated 3 TIA-942:2017 for its data centre design and the Data Centre Operation Standard Maturity Level 4 (DCOS-4) for operational management.

The attainment of the ANSI/TIA-942:2017 and DCOS certifications demonstrates Datacomm's strong commitment to increasing competitive advantage, and providing the best security and services to its customers. These certificates are awarded by EPI, an independent agency that delivers a wide range of data centre services with world-class standards.

Hermen Rudolph, Director of Datacomm Diangraha, said, "These certifications are a real step in Datacomm's readiness to support the development of digital infrastructure in Indonesia with a high level of security and reliability. These two certifications provide assurance on the availability of enterprise services in terms of facilities/infrastructure reliability and operational management excellence of our data centre."

Edward van Leent, Chairman & CEO of EPI Group of Companies said, "We are very excited with the first and very important achievement for Datacomm to comply with the ANSI/TIA-942 standard.  Now that their design has been validated, Datacomm will take the next important steps in improving their physical facilities to fully comply with the ANSI/TIA-942 standard. We applaud Datacomm for demonstrating excellent leadership by example to the Data Center Federation of Indonesia."

Jan Willem Mooren, Managing Director of EPI Malaysia, said, "Being the first data centre organization in Indonesia to achieve the DCOS certification, Datacomm has positioned itself as the leader in improving data centre operations. DCOS certification is a global quality mark and every customer using data centre outsourcing services should require their service providers to provide quality brands such as the DCOS. We, EPI Certification, an independent Certification Body have audited many data centres worldwide and we are pleased to award Datacomm DCOS Maturity Level-4 certification because Datacomm has proven that in their data centre operations they have met the stringent requirements of the global DCOS standard. Datacomm's customers can be certain of receiving world-class services."
