In order to strengthen national data sovereignty and support the development of AI and Cloud-based technology in Indonesia, PT Cloud Hosting Indonesia (IDCloudHost) signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Institut Teknologi Del (IT Del). Institut Teknologi Del (IT Del) was founded by Yayasan Del, which is fostered by Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan. This collaboration is a long-term commitment from both parties to build a sustainable digital research and education ecosystem, as well as an important step in supporting technological progress in the higher education sector. Through this collaboration, IDCloudHost provides Private Cloud infrastructure solutions as the main foundation for the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the campus environment, which is expected to be a significant milestone in accelerating the digital transformation of educational institutions in Indonesia. This collaboration was inaugurated at an event attended directly by the Chancellor of IT Del, Dr. Arnaldo Marulitua Sinaga, S.T., M.InfoTech., and the Vice Chancellor for Academic & Student Affairs, Dr. Johannes Harungguan Sianipar, S.T., M.T. From IDCloudHost, CEO Alfian Pamungkas Sakawiguna and Rizki Susetiadi as Head of Product Development were also present. "We believe that the future of Indonesian technology is greatly influenced by collaboration between the industrial and education sectors. With the presence of Private Cloud from IDCloudHost at IT Del, we hope that students can experience firsthand the experience of managing and building cloud-based systems in real terms," ??explained Alfian Pamungkas Sakawiguna, CEO of IDCloudHost. Institut Teknologi Del (IT Del) is known as a campus that focuses on the development of technology and informatics, both at the diploma and undergraduate levels. IT Del actively encourages the technology ecosystem through various academic activities and relevant Student Activity Units (UKM), one of which is the UKM Data Center, which is a real laboratory for students in operating servers and IT infrastructure directly. The Private Cloud service (https://idcloudhost.com/private-cloud/) used in this collaboration provides flexibility for Institut Teknologi Del to have full control over their data and infrastructure, while meeting the needs of AI-based learning that demands high speed, security, and scalability. With the Private Cloud, IT Del can run AI research and simulations in a secure, controlled, and flexible cloud environment, allowing students and all academics to conduct experiments and train AI models with the same system as real industrial conditions. The Chancellor of IT Del, Dr. Arnaldo Marulitua Sinaga, stated that this partnership is a concrete form of the campus' commitment to providing cutting-edge technology facilities for students. "We continue to strive to create a learning environment that is in line with industrial developments. The presence of Private Cloud from IDCloudHost will accelerate student learning and research, especially in the fields of AI and data science," he explained.
