AI cloud computing firm CoreWeave has announced its first data center presence in the Asia-Pacific region by expanding into Indonesia. The company has announced the addition of three new facilities in the country, which will bring a total of 360 megawatts of contracted power. CoreWeave, which has been investing heavily in its data-center footprint, is capitalizing on the global surge in demand for AI cloud infrastructure.
The move reflects the increasing need for AI compute to be located close to data and users, driven by latency-sensitive workloads and data locality requirements. As part of the expansion, CoreWeave will also establish a local team in Indonesia to operate the new facilities, further bolstering the country's AI ambitions. Currently, the company operates 49 data centers worldwide, with plans to spend between $31 billion and $35 billion on capital spending this year.
The company has secured several multi-billion-dollar cloud deals this year, including a $21 billion agreement with Meta and a multi-year contract with Anthropic, the creators of the Claude AI system.
