        "summary": "Indonesian cloud platform IONext.ai is urging businesses to move beyond AI experimentation towards secure, stable, and operationally beneficial deployment. The company introduced its locally hosted infrastructure and tools at a Jakarta event, aiming to help enterprises in sectors like banking, retail, and manufacturing gain greater control over data governance and security. The initiative reflects a broader push to build domestic AI implementation capabilities rather than remaining solely a consumer of foreign technology.",
        "content": "<p>The utilisation of artificial intelligence (AI) in Indonesia\ncontinues to grow, yet many companies still face challenges in moving\nthe technology from the trial phase to real-world application within\nbusiness operations. Addressing this need, IONext.ai (PT Data Awan\nNusantara) introduced its Indonesian AI cloud platform through the \u2018AI\nProduction at Scale Indonesia 2026\u2019 event held at the Apple Developer\nInstitute for Professionals, Autograph Tower, Jakarta, on Thursday\n(18\/6). The event brought together around 100 technology stakeholders,\nranging from CEOs, CTOs, and VPs of Engineering to software houses and\ncompanies operating in the banking, retail, and manufacturing sectors.\nThe gathering discussed the challenges of bringing AI beyond mere\nexperimentation, enabling it to become a system that operates securely,\nstably, and delivers direct benefits to businesses. IONext.ai assesses\nthat implementing AI in a business environment requires more than just\nhigh-performing models. Companies also need secure, efficient\ninfrastructure capable of supporting operational needs sustainably.\nThrough the platform, companies can access high-performance open AI\nmodels such as Qwen, DeepSeek, and Llama, all running on IONext.ai\u2019s\ninfrastructure in Indonesia. This approach gives companies greater\ncontrol over security, governance, and the location of the data used.\nCo-founder &amp; CEO of IONext.ai, Mohamad Fachri, stated that Indonesia\nneeds to start building capabilities in applying AI, not just being a\ntechnology user. \u2018Indonesia must not only be a consumer of AI. We need\nto start building the ability to implement AI in real environments, from\ninfrastructure and deployment to utilisation that directly helps\nbusinesses and industries. Through IONext.ai, we want to help\norganisations bring AI out of the experimental stage and into a system\nthat is reliable, efficient, and ready to use,\u2019 Fachri asserted. In\naddition to providing enterprise-grade GPU infrastructure and technical\nsupport, IONext.ai also introduced two supporting tools, namely IONA and\nOrbit. IONA is designed to help companies prepare and run AI systems,\nwhile Orbit serves as an integrated workspace to help technology teams\nmanage data, train models, and launch AI systems. During the event,\nIONext.ai also highlighted three main areas of AI application in\ncompanies: computer vision, language models for enterprise needs, and\ncybersecurity automation. The discussion sessions featured practitioners\nincluding Meidy Fitranto from Nodeflux, Kenneth Maynard from Pitjarus,\nand Ahmad Rizqi Meydiarso from VYPR, who shared their experiences in\nbuilding and running AI systems in real-world settings. Participants\nalso took part in a practical workshop using enterprise-grade GPU\ndevices running on IONext.ai\u2019s infrastructure, which comprises 18\nenterprise GPUs, including 10 NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell cards (96GB\neach) and 8 L40S cards.<\/p>",
