RailTel to create 'Edge Data Centres' at 102 locations across India

12 Jan 2022 Evaluate

RailTel Corporation is all set to create 'edge data centres' at Railway premises across 102 locations, especially Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns in the country. The 'edge data centres' will be set up by RailTel jointly with partners.

This activity will entail an investment opportunity of around Rs 500 crore. The process to establish the edge data centres has been set in motion with the floating of Expression of Interest (EOI) inviting the industry to partner in this exercise.

Edge data centres are small data centres located at the edge of the network, where they are closer to end-users and devices. Having such kind of facility at the edge would enable faster performance and lower latency as organisations will not have to move the data to far-flung data centres to process it.

This new initiative of RailTel will give a boost to the Indian Government's mission of Digital India. Under the proposed plan, the initial capacity of the envisioned edge data centre at each location can be of around 20 Racks (5 KW to 10 KW each). However, edge data centres with variable rack and power density can be explored as per the requirement and availability of space, power and other factors at individual locations.

RailTel Corporation a ‘Mini Ratna (Category-I)’ PSU is one of the largest neutral telecom infrastructure providers in the country owning a Pan-India optic fiber network on exclusive Right of Way (ROW) along Railway track. The company provides broadband telecom and multimedia network across the country.
