To be part of the approved data center parks approved by the government
Web Werks, a leading provider of data center services in India, announced key investment plans at the Global Investors Summit in Uttar Pradesh. Participating in the 3rd ground-breaking ceremony in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi; Web Werks, along with its joint venture partner Iron Mountain Data Centers, announced plans to invest Rs.197 crores in a new hyper-scale data center in Noida.
Web
Werks will be part of the approved data center parks approved by the government
with additional investments to launch edge facilities in key cities in Uttar
Pradesh. The construction of the new Noida data center will begin in 2022 with
a 20 MVA gross power capacity and will be live for its customers by
2023. Subsequent to the existing plot of land to
build this facility, Web
Werks has gone ahead and acquired additional land for expansion.
The Uttar Pradesh government plans to invest around ₹20,000 crores in the data center industry in the next five years. The government aims to make Uttar Pradesh the biggest centre of data storage among northern states with the Yogi Adityanath government recently approving three data centre parks. It will also ensure adequate and uninterrupted supply of power, the lifeline of data centres, through the ‘Open Access Scheme’. Web Werks has announced plans to set up edge data center facilities in all key cities in Uttar Pradesh.
In 2021, Web Werks has also signed MoUs with the Karnataka and Tamil Nadu government to set up data centers in Bangalore and Chennai. This development was in line with the announcement of the PAN India expansion plans of Web Werks and its Joint Venture partner Iron Mountain Data Centers, a global operator. Recently the company announced its acquisition of industrial buildings in Bangalore and Hyderabad which will be converted into data centers. Expansion in existing markets of Mumbai, Pune, and NCR is already in progress.
The consumption of data and increase in data traffic is leading to a demand for data storage in India. Web Werks and Iron Mountain Data Centers’ objective to expand across India is to eradicate the supply-demand gap of high-quality and scalable data centers in this digital era. Both the companies are committed to building the connected future, delivering ICT solutions across hosted infrastructure for colocation and cloud, network, security, and managed services.
