Key takeaways
- Launch advanced edge and containerised data centres to enhance AI-first digital ecosystem in India.
- Enable low-latency, high-efficiency solutions for underserved Tier II towns and remote areas.
- Integrate sustainable, modular systems to support real-time applications and remote deployments.
- Facilitate rapid deployment of scalable infrastructure for enterprises to create private AI zones.
- Develop upcoming edge data centre in Pune to further boost localised data access.
NES Data Pvt Ltd has announced the development of advanced edge and containerised data centres nationwide. These state-of-the-art facilities will be a key offering from the new-age data centre company.
Expected to go online by next month, the data centres will provide scalable, modular and sustainable solutions tailored for AI, real-time applications, and remote deployments.
Elaborating on plans, Umesh Sahay, founder & managing director, NES Data Pvt Ltd, said, “We believe edge and containerised data centres are set to democratise data access, enabling low-latency, high-efficiency solutions for India’s AI-first digital ecosystem, particularly in Tier II and remote towns and cities.”
Sahay said that these centres are compact and power-efficient, enabling eco-friendly, stable, and localised data access, even in underserved regions. “They are set to revolutionise access to the digital economy world over, and India, being a key market, stands to gain with this modular and decentralised model,” he said.
The company informed that NES Data’s containerised centres combine compute, storage, and cooling systems with battery energy storage systems (BESS) and zero-touch operations, as well as hybrid cloud integration.
The company’s offerings empower enterprises to create private AI zones, cut backhaul data costs and build resilient, distributed compute infrastructure.
NES Data said it is also in the process of developing its latest edge data centre in Pune. “Our edge data centres are engineered for rapid deployment, low-latency performance, and modular scalability,” Sahay said.
Edge centres process data closer to users, reducing latency, which is critical for applications such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, telemedicine, and 5G.
Meanwhile, containerised centres, with in-built prefabricated and portable units, offer plug-and-play scalability, ensuring deployment in weeks and providing relocatability for flexible infrastructure.
The company observed that with data storage needs skyrocketing and investments in traditional hyperscale centres slowing due to high costs and resource constraints, India is poised for a significant surge in edge and containerised data centres, particularly in Tier II and remote towns and cities.
According to Sahay, with soaring real estate prices in metros, edge deployments have witnessed a significant uptick in cities such as Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Vizag, Lucknow, Patna, Bhubaneswar, and satellite hubs like Noida and Pune.
