Netmagic, a leading managed hosting and multi-cloud hybrid IT solution provider, today launched two new high-density and hyperscale data centers here and in Mumbai, with 1,500 and 2,750 rack capacities, respectively.

"These facilities are a part of our Nexcenter brand of Global data center services providing end-to-end ICT solutions combining data center-cloud,network and managed services," Senior Vice President Global Business, Member of the Board, NTT Communications Corporation told reporters here.

These two facilities will expand NTT Com's datacenter capacity in India by 70 per cent.

Netmagic is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation.

India is Asia's third-largest market for data center services, after only Japan and China, and market growth is averaging high annual rates of 25 to 30 per cent, Netmagic's Executive Director and President Sunil Gupta said.

"As of now the market is estimated at USD 2.2 billion and is expected to touch USD 4.5 billion by 2020," he said.

Data centers are using increasingly more data as large IT providers launch new cloud services for mobile internet, e-commerce, IoT and big data, he added.

NTT Com, which offers Netmagic data centers in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi (Noida) and Chennai, opened its India Bangalore 2 Data Center in 2014 and India Mumbai 5 Data Center (Mumbai DC5) in 2015, Gupta said.

Netmagic's MD and CEO Sharad Sanghi said the company's data centers are Nexcenter certified and have features like basic design principles of resiliency, no single point of failure and concurring maintainability.

"We benchmark our data centers on very stringent requirements not only from NTT Group worldwide but also from the customers' requirements.

So all our data centers are Nexcenter certified and this doesn't necessarily or directly co-relate with Tier III or IV but obviously has the basic design principles of resiliency, no single point of failure, concurring maintainability and lots of other such features," he said.
