Microsoft in talks with Telangana to set up Rs 15,000-crore data centre

[hyperbole]

Microsoft is in the final leg of talks with the Telangana government to set up a data centre in the state with an overall investment of Rs 15,000 crore.

The US tech giant has zeroed in on a patch of land near Hyderabad for building the facility.

Microsoft's plan to set up the data centre comes close on the heels of Brookfield Infrastructure planning to establish a joint venture to develop such facilities in India under the brand name BAM Digital Realty.

 

Brookfield Infrastructure is a subsidiary of Canada's Brookfield, and NYSE-listed Digital Realty, the global provider of data centres.

"In the information technology (IT) space, Telangana is already seeing some major investments. Microsoft is establishing its data centre here, and it may come out with a public announcement soon," a source told Business Standard. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Microsoft did not comment on the development.

In 2019, Microsoft and Reliance Jio had inked a deal for a long-term alliance for establishing cloud data centres in India.

 

Microsoft, as part of the deal, was to bring in its cloud computing service Azure Cloud on Jio's network, targeting small businesses looking to move to cloud technology infrastructure.

Besides Microsoft, other international players of the likes of Google and Amazon Web Services are strengthening their presence in the data centre segment in the country.

nothing surprising.

Especially for data centers, Is there any other better location than Hyderabad in the whole country,  at least geographically ?

Amazon is already setting up two huge data centers, and hopefully this deal gets finalized.

There are data centers in Pune, Chennai and Mumbai already. Microsoft is going to set up 50 data centers this year globally.

Pune and Mumbai had India’s first data centers, way back in the 70’s itself. Pune and Bombay were the first software hub before Bangalore came into the scene.

Chennai had its first sea landing in early 2000’s I think. But very important link between South and South East Asia. I mean, traditionally these cities had to have data centers. Hyd is the new player.

Most of them might be small DCs in comparison but these are for AWS and Azure cloud regions. 42k crores combined investment is very huge.

Google is a distant 3rd cloud provider. They have their search DCs in NCR.

Mumbai had one of the AWS cloud region. Hyderabad is showing as coming soon. All over the world there are 25 regions

Existing ones are not so huge capacity ones. They have been there for quite some time and mostly cater to the interconnection with other continents and for under sea cable landings. 
 

Amazon is coming up with two data centers, one on Srisailam Highway side and huge one at Shabad near airport. The Shabad one, I was in India in Feb 2021 and they have already started clearing land and about to start construction.

Without any doubt, the new and upcoming data centers will be huge ones.
