The Indian Data Center & Cloud Market is taking giant leaps. India is the second fastest-growing digital economy and it is projected that IT and Communications sector will double in size by 2025 to contribute US $355-435 billion to GDP.  COVID -19 halted the world but it couldn’t stop business from outnumbering. In fact, the pandemic has imparted many lessons to organizations on the importance of having a business continuity plan.  

Additionally, The Government of India is taking multiple initiatives such as Digital India and emphasis on self-reliance and data protection through data localization is expected to increase the volume of data in the country, further increasing the demand for the Data Centre and cloud services. Given the country’s rich network connectivity, cost advantage, availability of skilled labor, low climate risk and strong data protection laws, India is well positioned to serve as a regional Data Centre hub in Asia and likely to attract significant Data Centre investments. The growth in this Data Center market also represents a greenfield investment opportunity of up to $3.9 billion for real estate developers and investors.

The GOI is further replenishing & evolving in this technology-driven era as the Indian cloud computing market, currently at $2.2 billion, is projected to grow to $4 billion by the year 2020. The increasing growth of cloud-native services and rising acceptance of cloud-based environments are driving the industries away from traditional data centres (DCs) to the cloud environments. Research studies done during the last 5 years indicate that Indian businesses are willing to spend over 36% of their IT costs on public cloud services due to its business flexibility and low costs. The cloud services adoptions is also growing constantly in the Manufacturing, Public and the IT sector. 
The Indian cybersecurity services industry is expected to grow to about $7.6 billion in 2022 from $4.3 billion at present. At a growth rate of about 21 per cent, it is expected to be worth $13.6 billion by 2025, according to a report by the Data Security Council of India. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, cybersecurity is attracting a lot of attention from company boards and governments alike. 

Nevertheless, nothing worth having comes easy! Along with this exponent potential for growth in the Data Center, Cloud and Cyber Security market come the test of Performance, Flexibility concerns, Power management, Data Center staff productivity, Security & more….. 

Where cloud technology adoption is concerned, companies today face problems such as insufficiency of resources and expertise, Dealing with multi cloud environments, Cloud migration, Compliance, Integration and security. Whereas in the cybersecurity space the number of experts are very low, there is always a question of ownership & responsibility, core Internet protocols are insecure, and an explosion of mobile devices continues to be based on the same insecure systems. 

There are inherent limits to what Data Centres, Cloud & Cybersecurity can do! As tech enthusiast, we at W.Media will make sure that you all are well versed with all the current & future updates of the industry. This Physical Conference will take you through the pressing reformations of Datacentres, Cloud & Cybersecurity mitigations and how they are framing the future. 

Welcome to W.Media’s India Cloud & Datacentre Convention scheduled on the 25th November, 2021 & learn the best insights from the top leaders of the industry.
