ITI Limited expands its data center facility to serve its customers better

ITI Limited has announced expansion of its data center facility by adding 1,000 additional racks in the existing setup in Bengaluru and setting up of a new Data Center of 200 racks capacity in its Naini (Allahabad, UP) Plant. This announcement comes further to the guidelines issued by the Government on the setting up of IT infrastructure by government departments using cloud computing technology with a clause mandating that all data must be stored within the country. The new infrastructure will enable PSU banks, Central & State Government undertakings, MNCs, corporates and large enterprises to have their data located within the country.

This expansion of the facility by ITI Limited will give enterprises in the government and corporate sector an opportunity to serve their customers and end-users better while being able to compete with the private players on an even keel. With greater proximity to high-speed networks and other services, enterprises can reduce latency, improve application performance and increase customer satisfaction and at the same time lower their total cost of ownership for infrastructure. ITI provides whole suite of data center infrastructure and managed services with highest power density that serves as one of the key differentiators allowing its existing customers to populate more compute infrastructure in lesser footprint reducing the operational expenses substantially.

On this occasion, Shri S. Gopu, Chairman & Managing Director, ITI Limited, said, “ITI has been in the Data Center business for the last ten years with renowned customers like public- sector banks, Financial institutions, PSUs, corporates and other government agencies.
