The Genesis of DataGarda: My Vision for Data Center Excellence and Sustainability in Indonesia

 





In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology and infrastructure, the need for reliable, efficient, and innovative data center solutions has never been more critical. Recognizing this imperative, together with industry experts; Pak Iskandar Sastrowiranu, Tengku Reza Syahreza and Ridwan Djuhari, we founded www.datagarda.com, a company dedicated to providing comprehensive and innovative data center managed services. The impetus behind this venture lies in the significant growth in investment in data center infrastructure over the past five years, coupled with the strategic foresight of an entrepreneur seasoned in the technology sector.

The Rise of Data Center Investments

The past half-decade has witnessed an unprecedented surge in investment in data center infrastructure. Driven by the exponential increase in data generation, cloud computing, and digital transformation across industries, organizations are allocating substantial resources to build and enhance their data center capabilities. This trend is not only a reflection of the growing reliance on data-driven decision-making but also underscores the critical role of robust data infrastructure in maintaining competitive advantage.

Companies like OCS and Pro Matrix have demonstrated the lucrative potential of this sector, experiencing significant business growth by offering similar managed services. These success stories have further validated the market demand and the opportunities that lie within the data center services domain. It is against this backdrop that I envisioned DataGarda as a key player in this thriving industry.

The Vision Behind DataGarda

In  my past experiences in building institution like www.idpro.id and companies such as www.elitery.com, www.fasset.id, and www.greenexdc.com, I had gain a wealth of experience and a keen understanding of the technology and infrastructure sectors. Each of these ventures has contributed to my understanding on the industry dynamics and strategic insights, laying a strong foundation for the creation of DataGarda.

Elitery.com, for instance, has established itself as a notable name in providing disaster recovery and managed services, showcasing Hendra’s ability to identify and address critical market needs. Fasset.id, on the other hand, focuses on digital asset management, reflecting his adaptability and forward-thinking approach in embracing new technological paradigms. Greenexdc.com’s emphasis on sustainable data center solutions highlights his commitment to environmental responsibility and innovative problem-solving.

Human Resources: The Cornerstone of Success

In the realm of data center services, human resources are paramount to achieving excellence. Recognizing the importance of skilled and knowledgeable professionals, DataGarda has formed a strategic partnership with the University of Indonesia. This collaboration aims to ensure a sustainable pool of talent development, bridging the gap between academic knowledge and industry requirements.

By fostering this partnership, DataGarda not only invests in the future of the industry but also underscores its commitment to quality and innovation. The University of Indonesia, renowned for its academic excellence, provides a robust platform for nurturing the next generation of data center professionals. This synergy between academia and industry creates a pipeline of well-trained individuals ready to tackle the challenges and leverage the opportunities within the data center sector.

In the near forseeable future we would like to extend this partnership to several other higher education institutions.

Innovating for the Future

DataGarda’s approach to managed services is characterized by a commitment to comprehensive and innovative solutions. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and industry best practices, the company aims to deliver unparalleled service quality and operational efficiency. The focus is not just on meeting current demands but also on anticipating future trends and preparing for the evolving needs of the market.

My vision for DataGarda is not merely to participate in the growth of the data center industry but to drive it forward. Through strategic investments, partnerships, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, DataGarda is poised to become a leader in the field, setting new benchmarks for managed services in the data center domain.

Conclusion

The establishment of DataGarda marks a significant milestone in Hendra Suryakusuma’s entrepreneurial journey. With a clear understanding of the market dynamics and a strong foundation built on previous successes, I strongly believe that I'm  well-positioned to lead DataGarda to new heights. The company’s focus on human resources, innovative solutions, and strategic growth ensures that it will not only thrive in the current landscape but also shape the future of data center managed services. As the industry continues to evolve, DataGarda stands ready to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.
