Enterprise IT World|February 2019

With close to 500 million internet users, India Inc. is on its course to generating over 2 million petabytes of data by 2020 driven by internet proliferation, digital initiatives and technology adoption. Now with the imminent push towards Data localization from the government and industry, the players are set to turn Hyperscale Datacenters into reality.

Time For India's Datacenters To Go Hyperscale

A rapidly expanding internet population, extensive proliferation of smart devices, and surging reliance on social media and e-commerce has sent the Indian economy on a new trajectory of growth. Rise of the internet population has impelled government, public and private services to move from the existing traditional service offerings to digital platforms.

The NDA government made a strategic push towards a digitized nation with a number of initiatives, the likes of Digital India Platform and Smart Cities. Five years on, the vision of a digital and interconnected India is in full flow. To get a slight glimpse of where India is in its digitization journey, the data generated in India was about 40,000 petabytes in 2010, and this is expected to rise to approximately 2.3 million petabytes by 2020, numbers twice the global rate. In Last year, Google claimed that roughly 10 million new users joined the internet phenomenon every month across India. Incomprehensible amounts of data present an immense challenge, not just from the management point of view but ensuring the integrity of services and security of citizen information. This prompted the central government to emphasize the importance of increasing cloud and data center investment in the Indian market in budget 2018.
