Tata Communications To Invest US$200 Million In India Data Center

Tata Communication’s US$200 million investment will double the capacity of its data center in New Delhi.

AsianScientist (Jul 24, 2014) – Tata Communications, a communication services provider, has inaugurated its 44th data center in Greater Kailash, New Delhi. This data center is located in the heart of the city and is an integral part of Tata Communications’ overall objective to strengthen its global data center footprint.

The company plans to invest more than US$200 million towards doubling capacity in India from 500,000 sq. ft. to 1,000,000 sq. ft. over a period of three years. These data centers offer a complete array of configuration choices, including shared rack space, full cabinets and cage space colocation along with unlimited scalability in the future. Centrally managed, these data centers provide customers with optimal performance, reduced total cost of ownership, security and effective utilisation of resources.

Rangu Salgame, Chief Executive Officer, Growth Ventures, Tata Communications, said, “We are witnessing a surge in data generation and storage needs like never before. Enterprises are contending with trends such as bring your own device (BYOD), social networking, mobile, analytics and cloud—and Tata Communications is well placed to partner with them through these exciting times.

“Our global data center portfolio underpinned with our unmatched network reach provides the infrastructure backbone that our customers can leverage to their advantage. This, our third data center in Delhi, has been designed and constructed with a ‘no-compromises’ approach: right from LEED Gold certification for the building to free air cooling and scalability to 200,000 sq. ft. and 10 MW.”

As part of its global expansion initiative, to expand its global data center footprint, Tata Communications recently entered into strategic partnerships with NEXTDC in Australia, Interxion in Germany and Austria, as well as Pacific Link Telecom (PLT) in Malaysia. These partnerships enable Tata Communications to extend its current data center offerings in these regions and to deliver a uniform customer experience across geographies. Tata Communications has over one million square feet of colocation space across the globe.
