Tata Communications opened a 6,000 sq ft cata center in Kolkata, in eastern India connected to its Tier I India and Global network backbone.
The facility is 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 company said.
"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.
The company said it had acquired an anchor customer for the data centre which is part of a $2 billion investment plan over the next three years. Tata Communications already has nearly a million square feet of data center space worldwide spread across Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Pune, making it the largest and widest service provider in India.
