Yotta Data Services – the data centre and cloud services arm of India’s business conglomerate, Hiranandani Group and the operator of Asia’s largest Uptime Institute Gold Operations-certified Tier IV data center—has announced an investment of over Tk 20 billion to develop a Hyperscale Data Center Park in Dhaka in the next 4-6 years.
The investment is part of Yotta’s overseas expansion, which strongly focuses on neighbouring countries, including Bangladesh – one of the forerunners in digital transformation in the region.
Yotta’s Dhaka Data Centre Park, situated at Hi-Tech City, Kaliakoir in Gazipur, will house two hyperscale data centre buildings, featuring 4800 racks and 28.8MW IT power capacity. Slated to go live with the first data centre building in FY2024, the park will bolster the country’s digital transformation efforts, serving as the digital backbone of businesses and a catalyst for Digital Bangladesh – the government’s flagship initiative.
Commenting on the announcement, Sunil Gupta, co-founder & CEO, Yotta Data Services, said, "Being a new-age digital transformation enabler, Yotta helps businesses and governments take giant leaps, and we have been successfully demonstrating this in our homeland – one of the world’s largest economies. Realising the exponential potential of Bangladesh and its emerging leadership in digital transformation, we are excited to bring our industry-acclaimed and trusted capabilities to the country to fuel its digital revolution. Data proliferation and the adoption of new digital platforms are churning up the need for a strong infrastructure backbone in Bangladesh. Yotta’s Dhaka Data Center Park will not just ensure that businesses in the region gain access to state-of-the-art data centre infrastructure, but also transform themselves with our proven suite of digital transformation solutions – thus inching closer towards the vision of a truly Digital Bangladesh."
