Sify invests Rs. 300 cr in new data centres.

Nasdaq-listed Sify Technologies has invested Rs. 300 crore to set up two new data centres in the wake of increasing demand for such services, a top company official said.

The units, one each in Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra) and Noida (Uttar Pradesh), are tier-3 data centres, which mean that the facilities would have an up time availability of 99.982 per cent.

A lion's share of the Rs. 300 crore has been channelised towards the new centre in Rabale (Navi Mumbai), Chief Executive Officer Kamal Nath, said. In the quarter gone by, the company’s data centre services unit bagged 13 new customers.

The Rabale Centre has been termed as 'ClouDCentre'. It has 2,80,000 square feet of built up space and 65,000 square feet of raised floor space.
