The purpose-built facility, K1, will offer a full stack of cloud, managed IT, and cybersecurity services to store and process data and applications for a variety of use cases, including AI models and enterprise applications, Yotta said while noting that this announcement of the data center marks its entry into Nepal.
The JV is a partnership between BLC and Yotta, wherein BLC brings a deep understanding of the local landscape, and regulatory nuances, including its network of enterprise customers, while Yotta, with a portfolio of five large data centers, brings its technology expertise and best practices. Of Yotta’s portfolio, two, located at Navi Mumbai and Great Noida, are part of hyperscale campuses.
State-of-the-Art Data Center Facility
Spread across an area of more than three acres, the 60,000 square feet facility will be developed with an overall capacity of up to 4 MW critical IT load and enable both enterprises and hyperscale customers to future-proof their expansion options in the region, the official release said.
Partnership with BLC Holding
“The proposed K1 facility will not just be a data center; we’re creating an ICT ecosystem that drives local and global growth. This initiative features a state-of-the-art data center, designed for global hyper-scalers and AI/ML development,” BLC said. “This partnership will also emphasize the much-needed local participation and control, thus addressing data sovereignty concerns.”
With an outlay of multi-million dollars, this facility, K1, built as per Tier 3 standards, is expected to be completed in the next 24 months.
