Globalization 2.0 | ZStack Debuts at Indonesia Cloud & Data Center Convention, Empowering Digital Indonesia with Next-Generation Cloud Infrastructure

Recently, the Indonesia Cloud & Data Center Convention 2026, hosted by W.Media, was held in Jakarta. ZStack was invited to attend, joining industry professionals from Indonesia and across the globe to explore the latest advancements and future trends in enterprise cloud infrastructure.

During the event, Li Xiang, Product Marketing Manager of ZStack’s Overseas Business Division, delivered a keynote speech titled “ZStack for Empowering Digital Indonesia.” Focusing on hot topics such as VMware alternatives, private cloud transformation, and AI-ready infrastructure, he shared ZStack’s comprehensive solutions and practical pathways tailored for the Indonesian market.

As Indonesia’s digital transformation accelerates, enterprises are facing a triple pressure of economic constraints, control, and modernization. Gartner points out that “the server virtualization market is facing the most significant disruption in decades. Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has reignited the server virtualization market’s competitive landscape.” Furthermore, “by 2028, cost concerns will drive 70% of enterprise-scale VMware customers to migrate 50% of their virtual workloads.” Against this backdrop, enterprises need a controllable, evolvable, and high-value cloud infrastructure foundation, rather than just a single-point replacement solution.

To address VMware migration needs, ZStack has launched the ZSphere virtualization platform, which covers core capabilities such as HA, DRS, and vMotion. Coupled with the ZMigration tool, it enables smooth migration, zero-downtime switching, and low-risk cutovers. Li Xiang emphasized that ZStack’s value goes beyond mere “replacement”; it empowers customers to build a unified private cloud foundation with a lower TCO, paving the way for integrated architectures covering containers, databases, and AI.

In terms of platform capabilities, ZStack supports both distributed and centralized storage, compatible with various protocols including local storage, iSCSI/FC/RBD/NVMe-oF, and NFS/CIFS/GPFS. This allows enterprises to protect their existing SAN/NAS investments while scaling on demand. Furthermore, through the Zaku container management platform, RDS database management platform, ZMetis unified monitoring, and ZHera unified operations portal, ZStack integrates virtualization, containers, storage, databases, and monitoring systems. This reduces IT operational silos and significantly enhances operational efficiency.

ZStack offers a “Triple Guarantee” mechanism for migration and deployment, covering migration planning, product capabilities, and implementation expertise. Through VMware management, high-elasticity deployment, hot migration, and future-proof integrated platform construction, ZStack enables customers to transition from “seamless migration” to “worry-free migration.” To date, ZStack has successfully delivered over 1,000 VMware migration projects globally, supporting the entire implementation lifecycle from assessment and POC validation to phased rollout and continuous operations.

ZStack continues to strengthen its commitment to the Indonesian market. Regarding data sovereignty, ZStack’s local private cloud solutions are 100% secure and compliant. In terms of localized services, ZStack products support Indonesian and eight other languages, backed by 24/7 local technical support. Currently, ZStack has nearly 10 local partners in Indonesia and has trained over 23,000 certified technical professionals globally, further bolstering its local delivery and service capabilities.

Looking ahead, ZStack remains dedicated to meeting the digital transformation needs of Indonesian enterprises. By driving the evolution from VMware alternatives to private cloud upgrades and AI-ready infrastructure, ZStack aims to help more businesses build an open, compatible, and future-oriented cloud foundation.
