Experts also predict that India would move to be the second-largest market for data centers in Asia-Pacific by 2020, with investments soon reaching $7 billion. Growth demand for data centers will come from verticals like BFSI, telecom and IT-ITeS. Organization’s dependence on data and their inclination towards optimization of business processes is also driving the demand for data centers. Also, state initiatives like Digital India and eGovernance are also leading to the growth of data centers in the states.
Key Takeaways: The focus on data center market is not restricted to the private sector alone, but the Government is also increasingly reliant on IT-intensive services to improve their performance and organize their services to the citizens.
