Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) Reliance Communications (RCOM) on Wednesday said it plans to expand its data centers in India, including those in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai.
RCOM recently set up its data center in Mumbai, which has opened an ecosystem to accommodate the speed of “Cloud acceleration” and the increase in “Cloud infrastructure”, “PaaS” and global connectivity requirements of enterprises within India and globally, an RCOM statement said.
“We plan to further expand our connected data centers across key hubs in India, including Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai. We have lined up key Cloud provider partners to further leverage our facilities as aggregation points across India,” an RCOM statement said quoting Bill Barney, CEO of RCOM and Global Cloud Exchange.
He further said that the company would continue to operate and accelerate its business, delivering uninterrupted services to its customers.
“We are currently undertaking a series of key initiatives to significantly enhance our network infrastructure, processes and people capabilities,” Barney added.
