The data centre, built to Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) 942 standards, is spread across 6,000 square feet of area capacity. Being in the same facility as Tata Communications’ core network infrastructure backbone, customers have excellent connectivity options to take them to any part of the country and the world with minimum latency and maximum reliability.

The centre would tap not only east India based companies but also those who service customers in the east, allowing them to locate their data close to their customers for better service quality.

We are extremely happy to enter the Eastern India market, making us the only data centre services player with presence across the metros. The eastern India market is a relatively untapped market and we hope to act as an enabler for attractive investment opportunities in this region through our services.  Now customers will no longer need to invest in setting up captive data centers or locate it outside the region. We offer them the same stringent SLAs and quality assurance which they have come to expect from us,” said Abid Qadiri, Vice President, Data Center Services, Global Managed Solutions, Tata Communications.
