DBS, UOB back 6.7 trillion rupiah loan facility for data centre campus in Batam's Nongsa Digital Park
[SINGAPORE] DBS and UOB have jointly provided a 6.7 trillion rupiah (S$530 million) loan facility to finance the development of a new data centre campus in Batam, Indonesia. The project is jointly developed by DayOne, a Singapore-based data centre developer and operator, and the Indonesia Investment Authority, the country's sovereign wealth fund. It will fund the development and operations of three data centres in Nongsa Digital Park in Batam, Indonesia. As the largest rupiah-denominated financing agreement secured for such a development, it is part of the drive to build South-east Asia's digital infrastructure, said DBS and UOB in a joint statement on Thursday (Jun 5). This comes as the region is experiencing ongoing digital transformation that is boosting demand for data centre computing power. Amit Sinha, group head of telecommunications, media and technology, Western multinational corporations and digital economy at DBS, called the move a 'strategic investment' into the future of South-east Asia's digital economy. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 8.30 am Asean Business Business insights centering on South-east Asia's fast-growing economies. Sign Up Sign Up 'Expanding the region's data centre capacity will accelerate the digital transformation of businesses within the region as they embrace solutions such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud services and real-time processing,' he said. South-east Asia's data centre demand is set to triple from its capacity as at 2023 to 6.5 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, said the lenders, citing data from Boston Consulting Group. The region's continued digital transformation, growing regional connectivity and acceleration of AI adoption is fuelling this growing demand. As much as half of this demand is expected to be met by the Singapore-Johor-Batam corridor, a major hub for data traffic in South-east Asia, DBS and UOB said. The corridor's capacity is set to reach up to 3.3 GW by 2030. Data centre campus to facilitate 'next wave' of digital transformation The DayOne Nongsa Digital Park Data Centre Campus is 'designed to support the next wave of digital transformation', said Jamie Khoo, chief executive of DayOne. The campus located within Nongsa Digital Park will house Indonesia's 'most advanced AI-ready data centre', she added. Upon its completion by end-2025, it will have a combined IT load capacity of around 72 megawatts (MW). This will account for around 5 per cent of Indonesia's projected data centre capacity of 1.41 GW by 2029, said DBS and UOB. Nongsa Digital Park to support digital connectivity with Singapore The digital park in Batam aims to be a 'digital bridge' connecting Singapore and Indonesia's economies, they said. 'Strengthened digital connectivity between Indonesia and Singapore better positions both markets to capture growing regional demand for computing power,' DBS' Sinha added. Given Indonesia's ambition to become a regional digital hub, Harapman Kasan, wholesale banking director at UOB Indonesia, highlighted that Batam plays a 'pivotal role' in serving as a key gateway to Singapore. The digital park will allow Singapore companies to leverage Indonesia's infrastructure and digital talent pool as well as enable Indonesia to benefit from Singapore's technological advancement and investment flows, the banks added.

Open stadiums for players immediately: HC to secy sports
Dehradun: Uttarakhand high court on Friday directed special secretary (sports) Amit Sinha to open the stadiums in Haldwani and Dehradun within 24 hours so that players aren't forced to practise at private facilities. The court mandated that both stadiums remain open daily from 6am to 8pm for regular practice sessions. Sinha assured the court that both venues would be accessible to players by Saturday. He was also instructed to propose the construction of new stadiums, both in the plains and hilly regions, for the physical development of children across the state. The court observed that many talented athletes in the state were missing out on opportunities due to a lack of accessible infrastructure, and that the current facilities remained locked despite demand. It said this situation must be rectified without delay. The court further directed the sports association to submit a list of upcoming competitions to the sports secretary, who will allocate stadiums accordingly. Maintenance costs will be handled by stadium staff, and organisers will be held financially liable for any damage to the grounds. The court also stressed the need for a qualified coach to be present for every sport during field use. The directives were issued by a single bench of Justice Rakesh Thapliyal while hearing a petition filed by Dehradun resident Sanjay Rawat. The plea alleges misuse of Rs 12 crore in govt funds by the Uttarakhand Cricket Association, claiming players were denied promised facilities. It also alleged that players were primarily fed bananas, for which a Rs 35 lakh bill was submitted. The petition further claims a scam involving food and beverages, and seeks a full investigation. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for the first week of July. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Brother's Day wishes , messages and quotes !

Boomi and AWS Announce Strategic Collaboration to Transform Enterprise AI Integration, Automation, and SAP Cloud Migration
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Boomi™, the leader in AI-driven automation, today announced a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help customers build, manage, monitor and govern generative artificial intelligence (AI) agents across enterprise operations. Additionally, the SCA will aim to help customers accelerate SAP migrations from on-premises to AWS. 'As we expand AI-driven automation across our business, Boomi and AWS are essential partners enabling us to securely manage complexity and scale innovation,' said Amit Sinha, President & Co-Founder of WorkSpan. Enterprise organizations today struggle with fragmented AI agent management across multiple platforms and environments, incurring potential security risks and operational inefficiencies. As AI agent adoption accelerates, organizations need a trusted way to monitor, secure, and optimize their AI investments across their diverse technology landscape. By integrating Amazon Bedrock — a fully managed service for building and scaling generative AI applications, including access to the broadest selection of fully managed models from leading AI companies — with the Boomi Agent Control Tower, a centralized management solution for deploying, monitoring, and governing AI agents across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, customers can easily discover, build, and manage agents executing in their AWS accounts, while also maintaining visibility and control over agents running in other cloud provider or third-party environments. Through a single API, Amazon Bedrock provides a broad set of capabilities to build generative AI applications with security, privacy, and responsible AI in mind, including support for Model Context Protocol (MCP), a new open standard that enables developers to build secure, two-way connections between their data and AI-powered tools. MCP enables agents to effectively interpret and work with ERP data while complying with data governance and security requirements.
