Cisco to build Webex India infra with data centre

Network solution provider Cisco has announced that it has invested in a dedicated India Webex infrastructure and necessary regulatory licenses to accelerate Webex adoption across the country.

The India Webex infrastructure includes a dedicated data centre and is backed by Cisco Secure products and solutions to ensure data privacy and security. The data centre will also allow it to partner with more start-ups, customers, partners, and service providers in India and bring new innovations to market faster.

The Webex infrastructure is also said to lower operating costs, increase technical efficiencies, and enable Cisco to provide India-specific pricing for customers. The company said that it has received the necessary regulatory licenses for the new infrastructure.

Daisy Chittilapilly, President, Cisco India & SAARC said, “This is a significant milestone in our endeavour to power hybrid work at scale and speed. As more companies go hybrid, the demand for secure and adaptable hybrid work solutions will increase. With this investment, we are looking to capture a growing market that is expected to reach over $250 million in India by 2025. With dedicated India Webex infrastructure, we can now offer enhanced performance at a much lower cost to our customers, and empower their move to a successful hybrid working future.”

Webex offers cloud-based collaboration solutions including video meetings, calling, messaging, events, polling, asynchronous video, and customer experience solutions like contact centres and collaboration devices.
