Sudhir Kunder, Country Director, DE-CIX India emphasizes with the exponential growth in digital application and content consumption by the consumer, the role of the Internet Exchange and Cloud Exchange have become very important.
Telecom industry and Ecosystem players shifted into high gear and raced to find answers for 4 key Pillars – Device Price, Digital Connectivity, Data cost, and Digital First – that will define the success of Digital India. DE-CIX India’s role in “Digital Connectivity” is critical, and it is one of these four pillars.
We are the only legal exchange in India and everything and anything that we do is as per the norms of the Indian government. We invest a tremendous amount of CAPEX into keeping our infrastructure robust and future ready. By virtue of that, we are available only in 16 data centers across India in four metros. Reliability, robustness, scalability, compliance, measured SLA, etc. are all the features DE-CIX offers.
We will soon make some alliances with local edge players. It is our clear-cut strategy that we have to go far and deep. You will see the push for fast, resilient and secure networks. It will keep on growing and they have to be ultimately fulfilled by interconnecting with an exchange like ours which will give your ability to have Internet exchange and cloud exchange. This will open the gates for more cloud service providers to also increase their presence within the Indian landscape.
Multiple services across a single access port happens to be one of the most critical elements where Internet exchange, cloud exchange and a couple of other services come across as a single access port service. Cloud exchange typically would allow you to access four large cloud players today on a direct basis, counter winning the entire open Internet today used to reach to them. This means AWS. Azure, Google and Oracle – these are the four CSPs which you will have direct connect as a result of accelerating your digital transformation journey.
We have a vision of “Digital Everywhere for Everything and Everyone to make the Ease of Living and Ease of Doing Business” and we are focused on establishing PoP’s (points of presence) across various geographies in India at Data Centers built by reputed and trustworthy National and International organizations, as well as constantly upgrading the network to ensure that it can handle future exponential growth and demand.
