Bengaluru, February 23, 2018: Today, the asiapac’s largest Tier4 datacentre company CtrlS, and the first LEED Platinum certified Green datacentre, went live in Bengaluru’s Electronic City. The CtrlS Tier4 Datacentre, which will provide mission-critical datacentre operations to India’s leading internet, banking, insurance, and other clients, was launched at a grand event, and was attended by Shri Priyank Kharge, Hon’ble Minister for IT, BT, S&T, Government of Karnataka, Ms. Margarent Anderson, Senior VP of SAP Labs India, Mr. Gopalakrishna, Mr. Sameer Garde, President, CISCO, and other IT industry leaders.
The new CtrlS datacentre will provide India’s growing tech giants with reliable, robust data management and distribution networks, with 0% downtime and 100% redundancy.
Shri Priyank Kharge, Minister for IT, BT, and S&T, government of Karnataka spoke at the launch, and said, “I’m happy that CtrlS latest datacenter is being situated in Bengaluru. Our city, which is already the leader in software services is also fast becoming a hub for global organizations and I’m sure the CtrlS datacenter will be the start of an ecosystem.”
As internet use expands across the country, and as more and more users adopt to mobile internet and content creation, the requirements for an “always-on” datacentre is even more keenly felt. Organisations such as Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media providers will need to ensure 0% downtime for their services. Similarly, with growing e-commerce and online payments for products and services, including online food delivery apps and websites, a reliable, robust backend support is essential.
CtrlS, with its robust network ecosystem, internet connectivity, and own infrastructure including dark-fibre assets, peering, and private internet exchange, provides exactly that.
The Tier4 datacentre in Bengaluru will serve the country’s banking, insurance, e-commerce, and internet organisations. These organisations are data sensitive, and more importantly, security conscious. These organisations cannot afford even a minute of downtime on their data. Thankfully, CtrlS has been designed with 0% downtime. A regular Tier3 Datacentre usually faces about 4 hours of downtime in any calendar year. However, a Tier4 Datacentre has advanced infrastructure and design features that reduce downtime to less than 30 minutes in any given year. But CtrlS’s Tier4 datacenters have established industry records – and broken them every year. Over the last 10 years, CtrlS datacentres have experienced no downtime whatsoever.
Further, the new Bangalore Datacentre is the First LEED Platinum datacenter in the world certified by GBCI (under LEED v4 O+M). This green building generates its power requirement using solar and other sustainable sources. Additionally, two major power lines – which means that CtrlS will never experience a power outage at any point. An earthquake-proof building, with over 9 levels of security – both physical and virtual, means that valuable data is never compromised.
Mr. Sridhar, Chairman and MD of CtrlS, commented on the green-certification of CtrlS, and said “Our Datacenter has been awarded a Platinum LEED certificate by the US Green Building Council, making it The only Datacenter in the world to receive such certification. We will continue to innovate and ensure our business is both profitable and environmentally sustainable.”
He further added, A lot of data flows through the silicon city. The future plan is convert all our DCs to be solar powered in the next 5 yrs”. Solar powered DC are sustainable and the long term competitiveness is much better.
This makes CtrlS datacentres the obvious choice for India’s internet and banking giants
and SAP agrees. One of the world’s leading business enterprise software makers, SAP is working with CtrlS to house business critical data at the new Bengaluru data centre.
Speaking at the launch, Ms. Margaret Anderson, Senior VP of SAP, said, “For SAP, data security is mission critical. The choice of datacenter is not easily taken. We’re very thrilled to work with CtrlS; they meet our every need and satisfy our very stringent standards.”
Prakash Mallya, MD South Asia, Intel said, the amount of data generated in India is more than anywhere in the world. This is a collective challenge that is being addressed by service providers such a CtrlS and solutions like this make possible a lot of data innovation and AI Solutions.
