Metaedge introduces edge data center platform to unlock access to services across India
Metaedge, an India-based platform for edge data centers, unveiled its next-generation edge data center platform to meet the growing demands of India’s internet users. With India’s population set to surpass China, there are currently 840 million internet users in India and only 10% of them live in metro cities that have an existing data center ecosystem.
“We are thrilled to unveil our next-generation edge data center platform, which will support the growing demands of India’s internet users,” states Priyal Kothari, the managing director of Metaedge.
According to the company, it also strives to make its platform available for the remaining 90% of the underserved population by building data centers in multiple cities across India. They plan to partner with local land developers and set up over 70 edge data centers throughout India, beginning with a phased rollout.
The global edge data center market is estimated to reach USD 50 billion by 2030, with India’s edge data center market alone valued at USD 10 billion. Metaedge says its platform can benefit from this exponential growth, providing faster and better performance for real-time applications such as metaverse, gaming, AI/ML and OTT services.
In addition, its platform also offers improved connectivity for remote and rural areas, including satellite and 5G connectivity, reduced delays and better user experience, increased reliability and availability of services and advanced security features to protect sensitive data and services.
“Our goal is to set up 70+ edge data centers across India, with a phased rollout that aims to democratize the edge data center infrastructure,” adds Kothari. “Metaedge plans to partner with local land developers to achieve this goal.“
