Chennai Cloud & Data Centre Convention
Digital India programme has created ripples with far outreaching effects that go beyond the realm of industries; it has turned itself into a mass movement where every state and its people now actively have a stake in the emerging digital economy.
One state that pledged to grow and revive and contribute heavily to India’s GDP is Tamil Nadu. Till now, the Southern metropolis which always has been a ‘favourable’ investment destination, has attracted over Rs.50,000 crores proposals.
In the industrial ecosystem, Tamil Nadu, so far, has been leading automobile, wind energy, and electronics hardware manufacturing; however, owing to the stable system of governance and guidance by the top economists, Tamil Nadu will soon emerge as the data centre capital of India. The government’s adherence to providing power, land, and connectivity infrastructure for DCs, fiscal and non-fiscal incentives, and promoting renewable energy use for everyday management has created a supportive technology bubble for industries to set up data centres. However, the endless opportunities also raise the concern of security.
Being the 1st state to come up with ethical AI, blockchain, cyber security policies in the country, the state is already one step ahead in having its foundational ground secured and safeguarded. As Tamil Nadu is gearing up to provide a ready, built and well-established supply chain for data centres to integrate scale within the state, we, at W.Media, to give a fillip to their efforts are now coming up with the Chennai Cloud & Data Centre Convention.
We, along with the top thought leaders of the country are going to discuss multi-cloud environments, cloud migration, compliance, integration and security. Join us at the Chennai Cloud & Data Centre Convention where thought leaders discuss how to leverage the existing and upcoming network of data centre infrastructure, cloud computing, a disaster data recovery centre, and a lot more.
