Richest Indian Gautam Adani-led group on Friday announced the opening of its Chennai hyperscale data centre as it looks to capture a share of one of the world's fastest-growing data centre markets.
AdaniConneX, a joint venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX, opened 'Chennai 1' hyperscale data centre campus that is powered by renewable energy, the company said in a statement.
"In Phase 1, the campus offers 17 MW (IT Load) that will scale up to 33 MW (IT Load) at full capacity," the statement said.
Data centres are one of the areas that the ports-to-energy Adani group has identified for expansion. Other areas being airports, cement, petrochemicals and copper.
The 'Chennai 1' campus hosts Tamil Nadu's first pre-certified IGBC Platinum Rated data centre.
The facility will also be powered with up to 100 per cent renewable energy, offering enterprises and hyperscale customers sustainable energy choices.
"As one of the most advanced colocation campuses in the region, 'Chennai 1' is designed to offer robust physical protection to IT Infrastructure with seven layers of security system and commitment to provide 99.999 per cent availability," it said.
