Cisco to set up new data centre in Chennai

IT networking company Cisco is setting up a new data centre in Chennai and upgrading the current one in Mumbai to offer enhanced security solutions to customers, the company said as its two-day Cisco India & SAARC Partner Confluence started today in Jaipur.

“The new and upgraded facilities will bring agile, highly resilient, high-capacity access closer to users, including large and small Indian enterprises from across industries,” the company said in a statement, adding that this is crucial in today’s hybrid work environment which presents unique cybersecurity challenges as organisations move from a static to a dynamic operating model, which in turn has significantly increased the demand for cloud security.

The company has also announced new capabilities across its security portfolio to help Indian firms become more resilient and tackle cybersecurity risks in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. These capabilities, according to Cisco will include the “latest innovations in Zero Trust, application security, and secure connectivity” that are aimed at driving Cisco’s cloud security business.
