The pan-Indian platform of hyperscale and hyperlocal data centres will largely be powered by renewable energy. AdaniConneX will focus on building a network of hyperscale data centers in India, starting with Chennai, Navi Mumbai, Noida, Vizag and Hyderabad markets. Development and construction at these sites have already begun.
"India currently has one of world's largest data subscriber population and to address the need for a reliable infrastructure to support cloud, content, network, IoT, 5G, AI and enterprise requirements, data centres are a fundamental infrastructure need of a nation," Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said.
The Adani Group brings to the table a unique combination of green power, real estate expertise, access to undersea cable landing stations, and several nodes across the country that will serve as edge locations, he added.
EdgeConneX provides a full range of data centre solutions worldwide and has 50 facilities in 30 markets around the world.
"In Adani, we have the ideal partner in India. They possess the necessary capabilities and unique expertise in India required to build out critical digital infrastructure that can best support our customers across the entire country. We look forward to investing in the digital economy of India and meeting our customers' needs throughout the region in collaboration with Adani," EdgeConneX CEO Randy Brouckman said.
