“In today’s digital economy, enterprises’ growth is fuelled by cloud-based applications and data,” said Srinivasan C. R., senior VP for global product management and data center services at Tata Comms.

As a global cloud provider with a local presence, we address these concerns by giving CIOs complete visibility and control over their entire IT estate, across all networks and devices, and empower them to drive organization-wide digital transformation with maximum agility.”

The company claims that today, at least 25 percent of all of the Internet traffic relies on its infrastructure.
