Tata Communications expands data centre footprint

NEW DELHI: Internet services company Tata Communications today said it has expanded its global data centre footprint by entering into partnerships with NEXTDC in Australia, Interxion in Germany and Austria and Pacific Link Telecom (PLT) in Malaysia.

These partnerships will enable Tata Communications to extend its current data centre offerings in these regions and deliver a uniform customer experience across geographies.

"As businesses go global, the addition of new geographies means customers can now have a single vendor operation and contract for a secure, robust and scalable data centre network," Tata Communications said in a release.

The firm has one million square feet of collocation space across the globe and these new partner sites in Malaysia, Australia, Austria and Germany will act as extensions to further expand its global data centre footprint, it added.

Tata Communications' data centres are fully integrated into the company's global IP network, offering maximum traffic capacity into and out of its facilities.

"Expanding our data centre footprint forms part of our strategy to enable businesses with the most robust backbone for their organisations' digital infrastructure," Tata Communications Vice President (Data Centre Services) Srinivasan CR said.
