CHENNAI: Sify Technologies on Thursday opened a data centre at Airoli near Mumbai, eyeing higher demand for third-party server and storage service. A sum of Rs 150 crore will be pumped in for the new data centre, which is Sify’s fourth in the country. The investment was made through internal funding, company officials said.
“The demand for third-party service providers is going up as more companies want to outsource server and storage services. This is because maintaining servers is complex and heavy, so they prefer outsourcing such functions,” said PJ Nath, executive president, Sify Enterprise Services. Following the data centre near Mumbai, Sify will open two more, in Delhi and Bangalore, over the next couple of years.
Mr Nath further said that the Airoli data centre is part of the company’s strategy to create network and data centre infrastructure in India. This would enhance demand for services such as e-commerce, online banking and corporate ERP.

Sify to set up two data centers to expand network
MUMBAI: Internet service provider Sify Technologies will set up two data centers in Mumbai and Noida to double its network at a cost of Rs 250 crore.
"We are setting up a data center in Mumbai and (another) near Delhi. We will be doubling our network (point of presence) to 800. All these expansion would cost us Rs 250 crore," a top company official told the media.
The company has begun work on its data center in Mumbai, which would be spread over one lakh sq ft area. It would be ready in 15 months, the official said.
Sify's other data center would come up in Noida, which would be a greenfield project spread over 30,000 sq ft area. The construction on Noida site would begin soon, the official said.
A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components such as telecommunications and storage systems.
The company has been alloted 17 acres of land in Chennai and it plans to set up a Special Economic Zone. "We are planning to offer export-oriented services through the SEZ," the official said.
About 10 per cent of the company's topline comes from exports.
At present the company has presence in 380 points in the country, which would be taken up to 800 in this financial year.
"Last year too, we had more than doubled our network from 180 to 380," the official added.
The 2,500 strong team of Sify would hire 500 more this year, the official added.
