Prithvi Information
Solutions, a Hyderabad-based information and communication technology
company has bagged the Mizoram State Data Center(SDC) project.
Prithvi won this Rs 12.5 crore project by competing with players like
Reliance, HCL, TCS and Sify.

The state-of-art project
is primarily for the design, site preparation, supply, installation,
commissioning, maintenance and operations of the SDC located at
Aizawl in Mizoram. The initial 'build phase' of this SDC is expected
to get completed in a 6 months time, followed by 5 years of facility
management services for the data center.

Commenting on the new
project, Amitava Lahiri, SVP, IT services, Prithvi Information
Solutions said, “The proposed SDC will be connected to the State
Wide Area Network (SWAN), which will help provide an access to the
e-governance applications and services to government employees
through intranet and to the citizens through public Internet/CSC.
This win reaffirms our status as a leading provider in these services
in India.”

Earlier Prithvi had bagged
SDCs from State Governments of Haryana, Nagaland and a data center
project from MAHAGENCO (Maharastra Generation Company), Mumbai.
Mizoram SDC will help to consolidate and strengthen the system
integration business of Prithvi.

“Using our expertise in
implementing data centers of various state governments, Prithvi will
assist the Government of Mizoram in establishing a reliable and
efficient SDC. We expect this state-of-art data center to minimize
the cost of data deployment, improve delivery of services to
citizens, enhance IT and management control,” said Satish
Vuppalapati, MD, Prithvi Information Solutions.
