Sify Technologies announced the launch of its fourth data center at Airoli
near Mumbai.
The company has pioneered the standards, facilities and services in the data
center space in India ever since it launched the country's first level 3 data
center at the Infotech Park in Vashi, Mumbai in September 2000. The company
subsequently invested in centers in Chennai and Bangalore with increasing levels
of sophistication and capability. The Airoli center is positioned to cater to
the growing demand from India's commercial capital, Mumbai.
PJ Nath, Executive President, Sify Enterprise Services said, “The Airoli data
center is a key facet of our strategy to develop the most sophisticated network
and data center infrastructure in the country. The Airoli center will be
followed by at least two more-one each in New Delhi and Bangalore, over the next
eight quarters.”
MP Vijay Kumar, CFO, Sify Technologies said, “We have been investing for
growth in the capacity of our backbone infrastructure, expansion of the network
to over 500 points of presence. The Airoli data center at an investment, when
complete, of $36 million (Rs 150 crore) is a significant part of this process.
Our total investment in data centers over the next two years is likely to be
about
$100 million (Rs 400 crore) to meet the growing demand for such services from
both the domestic market and overseas markets.”
