Yotta Infrastructure data centre building


Yotta Infrastructure has announced the inauguration of its data centre building in India, Yotta NM1, during a virtual event.

Present for the inauguration was Shri Uddhav Thackeray– Hon. Chief Minister, Govt of Maharashtra, Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad – Hon. Minister for Communications, Electronics & Information Technology and Law & Justice, Govt of India and Sh. Subhash Desai – Hon. Minister of Industries and Mining , Govt of Maharashtra.

The Yotta NM1 data centre is the first of five data centre buildings set to be built at the integrated Yotta Data Centre Park, which, once fully built, will have an overall capacity of 30,000 racks and 250 MW power.

The data centre spans 820,000 sqf, features 7,200 racks, and has 50 MW of power with four redundant self-owned fibre paths connecting the facility to national highways.

“Foreign hyperscale cloud players, and OTT companies are looking to set up large bases in India,” said Sunil Gupta, Managing Partner & CEO – Yotta Infrastructure.

“A hyper-scale Data Centre Park with the scalable ecosystem of power, fibre and skillsets, like what Yotta offers, gives them quick access to large colo capacity from day one from a multi-tenanted data centre like NM1 and also gives them long term sustainability at the same site with the availability of customised single tenanted data centres and in-campus fibre networks.

“Enterprises can expect from Yotta a fully managed hybrid IT infrastructure – combination of colo, private cloud, public cloud and IT management skills on a low-risk, pay-as-you-use model, that creates a win-win situation for everyone.

“Yotta hit the ground running within a year, and I am pleased to say that the interest garnered by Yotta from enterprises has been overwhelming.

“We are pleased to house many anchor customers at Yotta NM1 already, and the list will only continue to grow.”

The facility offers a scalable data centre infrastructure, capable of hosting global cloud, content and OTT operators besides the mission-critical applications of enterprises and governments..

Speaking at the virtual event, Shri. Uddhav Thackeray, Hon. Chief Minister, Govt. of Maharashtra, said, “Covid-19 has made the digital future into a reality and given us a new perspective on life.

“The Maharashtra government is inviting investors to come to our state to do business here and we will extend all support and cooperation to them.

“We’ve launched the Maha Jobs portal just yesterday for job seekers from the state and also to facilitate workers for industries to act a bridge between employers and employment seekers.

“By the evening we received thousands of applications and it is a great example of the power of Digital.

“Working from home has also been made possible by a robust digital infrastructure even in the face of a pandemic and the Hiranandani’s are enabling work of the future today with Yotta Infrastructure. The government of Maharashtra will extend all support towards this endeavour.”

Besides Navi Mumbai, Yotta is also developing similar-sized giant data centre parks at Chennai and New Delhi.

Each of these parks will feature more than 20,000 racks, 200 MW plus power and multiple self-owned fibre paths connecting the Park to the main highways, according to the company.

“This data centre is a global pioneer not just in terms of capability and price but more so in terms of its focus on efficiency and sustainability,” said Darshan Hiranandani, Group CEO – Hiranandani Group.

“We provide the most efficient power offering available in the market today – not just the lowest price of power but also a Power Usage Efficiency or PUE that is a global benchmark for the tropics.

“That is only phase zero (0). Our plan to migrate to renewables and gas-based combined heat and power generation onsite will give us chilled water at the most efficient cost structure possible and will bring our design PUE numbers down to 1.2 – again unheard of in Indian weather conditions. But we do not plan to stop there.

“We are building facilities today to ensure that we can be future-ready to be 100% run on renewables whether offsite, through solar and wind coupled with onsite hydrogen-based co-generation and fuel cells in the future.”
