Nikhil Rathi, CEO, Web Werks Data Centers
Web Werks, a leading player in the Indian data center and cloud services market, is all set to convert an acquired standalone facility into its first data center in the commercial business district of Hyderabad. The new development in Hyderabad would strengthen Web Werks’ presence within the Indian region.
The locality has emerged as a prominent business hub, owing to its proximity to the IT corridor of Hyderabad. The new highly interconnected data center will offer 120,000 square feet of colocation space supported by a significant power capacity of up to 10 MVA of gross power with an expected IT load of up to 6MW. The first phase of delivery is expected to be completed by Q4 2022.
Nikhil Rathi, CEO, Web Werks Data Centers, said, “For Telangana, which has a policy on data centers in place, it is another significant expansion for us. The HITEC city is attracting Hyperscalers and offers a diversified spectrum of enterprises, including IT, insurance, biotech, financial institutions, and the service industry. Our data center facility will enable customers to rapidly scale digital transformation strategies by deploying critical infrastructure in a global data center that will offer capacity, cloud, and connectivity.” “Web Werks and Iron Mountain Data Centers offer 19-plus facilities in India, US, Europe, and APAC. On this global data center platform, our customers can access a choice of ecosystems that enable them to efficiently reach out to their environments, customers, and partners in a way that makes the most sense as a business grows,” elaborated Rathi.
The new facility at Hyderabad would give a strong footing to Web Werks Data Centers in the Central Indian market
This is to be reminded that Web Werks and Iron Mountain entered into a joint venture, where the former invested over $150 Million into it. The funding from Iron Mountain has further enabled Web Werks to expand its operations in the country. “Hyderabad is one of the largest data center (DC) markets in India with predicted growth of tripling its capacity by 2026,” states Michael Goh, VP & GM, APAC Iron Mountain Data Centers. “Iron Mountain Data Centers is extremely excited to be able to offer our customers capacity in this high growth market.”
Web Werks currently runs Tier-III data centers in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Pune. The upcoming facilities include a second 12.5MVA standalone data center in Navi Mumbai and a 10MVA standalone data center in Bengaluru. All its data centers offer cloud readiness for customers with an appetite for a hybrid IT strategy.
