2. In the mind of the CIO
I need IT
infrastructure
Priorities Mindset Reality
that is reliable
and always
Should not be restricted by
Growth the lack of DC & IT Already run out of it available;
infrastructure one that works
for me!
Connectivity to data Teleco’s rule the
Connectivity could be much better roost
Captive facilities lock us
Keep costs low but
Costs productivity high
in, 3rd party DC’s are
expensive
Outsource to vendors who Most DC vendors do
Outsourcing understand the business not understand
5. 1 Scalable infrastructure
Priorities Challenges Solution
1. How do we build
Our growth should
not be restricted by infrastructure that is flexible
Your business needs
the lack of to our needs? infrastructure that will
space, power or 2. Cost of power is rising and keep pace with your
cooling the quality is dropping. How growth
can we achieve stability?
• INFRASTRUCTURE
We have already run 3. Our DCs are not made for ON TAP
out of it efficient cooling and this • CAPEX ON STOP
costs us a lot.
6. 1 Scalable infrastructure
Scalability for a decade
Keep it running at all costs
Always plugged in
Sound Construction
Always guarded
Flood safe custom built DC
7. Scalability for a decade
2.1 lakh sq feet space
5,000 racks, to be
scaled up to 7,000
racks in 2 years
Typical floor plan
1 Scalable infrastructure
8. Keep it running at all cost

ensure accessibility to

9. Always plugged in
Dual active power

Captive gas based 18
MW power plant
Electric power source from 2 sources
1 Scalable infrastructure
10. Always plugged in
DG plant with 210 KL
capacity HSD tanks for
back-up – India's
largest capacity in DCs
1 Scalable infrastructure
11. Sound construction
Perimeter walls
designed to withstand
collision with 10 ton
truck at 80 kmph
1 Scalable infrastructure
12. Always guarded
Armed guards to
prevent any
attack/sabotage
1 Scalable infrastructure
13. Flood-safe custom-built DC
Flood safe at 20
mtr above sea
level, >2000 mtr
from coast/inland
1 Scalable infrastructure
15. 2 Ensure better connectivity
Priorities Challenges Solution
1. We are at the mercy of
Connectivity to our carriers. They dictate Outsource your
datacenter could be terms primary systems and
much better yet ensure the least
2. Latency as well as possible latency
availability is an issue
• HIGH
Teleco’s are ruling AVAILABILITY
the roost. How can • LOW LATENCY
we fight them?
16. Carrier neutral datacenter
Directly connected to
the NIXI nodes in India
2 self-sufficient MMR's with a
capacity of 60 racks each
2 in, 2 out redundancy to address
cable cutting instances
All major Teleco’s
connected
MMR Layout
2 Ensure better connectivity
18. 3 Decrease bottom line
Priorities Challenges Solution
1. Taxes, tariffs and capex
We need to keep are killing us
our costs low yet Engage with a
maintain a high 2. Higher productivity with Datacenter that
breathes business
level of productivity rising costs and lower sense
budgets?
Captive facilities 3. 60% of our budget goes • TCO DOWN
lock us in and 3rd • PRODUCTIVITY
into IT operations. How do UP
party datacenter
costs are high we cut it down?

21. Guaranteed power efficiency
1.42
Heavy investment in
energy efficient system
Cost of PUE over 1.7 will
be borne by us
With a PUE of 1.42, we are the most
power efficient datacenter in the country Every 0.1 unit saved in
PUE on a 1 MW system
can save you
Rs 60 lakhs per annum

22. Plans to suit every need
Not a one size fits all
approach to business
Minimize risk with pay-

Scale up or down at
will with on-
demand services

23. Bandwidth up, cost down

Teleco’s cannot
dictate terms on

26. 4 Find a visionary partner
Priorities Challenges Solution
1. We cannot quality control a
Outsource? But
Datacenter vendors third party datacenter.

don’t really 2. They sell space. We need
