India's technology sector is advancing at a remarkable pace, driven by data-intensive technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, Artificial Intelligence (Al), and Machine Learning (ML). This surge has dramatically increased the demand for data storage and heightened the focus on data security. Consequently, the data centre industry in India is undergoing a significant transformation with the growth of different types of data centres tailored to suit the requirements of various needs of businesses and stakeholders.
As the country cements its position as a digital hub with a skilled technology workforce and an innovation powerhouse for Proof of Concepts (POCS) and Centres of Excellence (COES), major tech giants are establishing Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and hubs. This influx has substantially increased the demand for data storage, necessitating the development of more advanced hyperscale data centres to accommodate the growing data volume.
SURGING DEMAND FOR HYPER SCALERS
The increased penetration of data-intensive technologies, such as loT, 5G, and cloud computing, among others, has increased the demand for sizeable and more solid data centres. This has been pushed by evolved trends such as hybrid working and the rapid usage of applications like Microsoft Teams or Zoom, among others.
As more tech giants establish operations in the country and AI/ML-driven, data-intensive solutions that require high computing power become more prevalent, the demand for massive hyperscale facilities will surge.
