JAKARTA \u2014 Technology infrastructure costs are one of the\nconsiderations for companies developing digital services. Arupa Cloud\nNusantara and Civo have introduced cloud services in Jakarta which they\nsay can reduce operating costs while making modern applications easier\nto manage.<\/p>\n
Through its Civo Indonesia Region service, the company offers\ncloud-native infrastructure including Kubernetes, virtual machines,\nmanaged PostgreSQL databases and data storage. The infrastructure is\nintended for companies that want to develop applications without taking\non the complexity of managing the systems themselves.<\/p>\n
In a price comparison published by Civo, the monthly cost of a\ngeneral-purpose Kubernetes cluster with three nodes and an equivalent\nconfiguration in Jakarta is claimed to be 49\u201362% lower than that of\nhyperscale providers. However, the comparison uses configurations and\npricing assumptions set by Civo.<\/p>\n
Civo Chief Commercial Officer Simon Hansford said companies\u2019 need for\ndigital infrastructure continued to grow as the use of modern\napplications expanded. Businesses needed services that were easier to\nmanage and had transparent cost structures.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndonesia has significant potential for adopting cloud-native\ntechnology, as businesses\u2019 need grows for infrastructure that is easier\nto manage, offers cost transparency and is designed to support modern\napplications,\u201d Simon said in a statement on Friday (23 October).<\/p>\n
The service is operated in Indonesia by Arupa Cloud Nusantara.\nCustomers can use the infrastructure to run applications, manage\ndatabases and scale service capacity as needed.<\/p>\n
In addition to offering rupiah pricing through Arupa, Civo says it\ncharges no data-transfer fees for services in the Jakarta Region, for\neither incoming or outgoing data. Usage is calculated hourly and billed\nmonthly.<\/p>\n
This model gives companies another option for budgeting digital\ninfrastructure expenditure. However, cost efficiency still needs to be\nassessed against each company\u2019s computing needs, storage capacity, usage\npatterns and technical support requirements.<\/p>\n
Arupa Cloud Nusantara Chief Executive Officer Reza Kertadjaja said\nthe partnership with Civo aimed to broaden infrastructure choices for\ncompanies in Indonesia. Arupa also provides technology consultancy and\nlocal technical support to help customers manage cloud services.<\/p>\n
Operationally, the platform supports various infrastructure\nmanagement tools, including Terraform, an application programming\ninterface (API), a command-line interface (CLI) and a web-based\ndashboard. Civo says virtual machines can be provisioned in less than 60\nseconds, while Kubernetes clusters can be launched in under 90\nseconds.<\/p>\n
The companies also plan to expand services to meet artificial\nintelligence (AI) requirements. GPU Compute and GPU Kubernetes services\nin the Jakarta Region are scheduled to become available from December\n2026, with reservations through Arupa already open.<\/p>\n
The new cloud infrastructure option adds to the choices available to\ncompanies undertaking digital transformation. For businesses, the\ndecision to use cloud services depends not only on price, but also on\nthe infrastructure\u2019s ability to support application growth, maintain\nservice reliability and meet long-term business needs.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/arupa-and-civo-offer-more-cost-efficient-cloud-infrastructure-1792817475", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
