Sophos to set up datacentre in Mumbai next month

Sophos, a UK-headquartered cyber security solutions company, has said it would set up a new datacentre in Mumbai in March. The new data centers are planned to enable organizations in these regions to meet strict data sovereignty laws and regulations, which are increasingly required for those in banking, government and other tightly regulated market sectors. The new data centers would expand Sophos’ existing base of data centers around the world in the U.S., Canada, Ireland, Germany, Japan, and Australia.

As Sunil Sharma, managing director of sales for India and SAARC at Sophos, notes:

The data center in Mumbai would help Indian organizations accelerate digital transformation and cloud migration. India is one of the important markets for us and we have heavily invested in the country. We already have a large base of our research and development in India, and the data center would enable Sophos to further build its leadership presence in the region by providing local data sovereignty and security solutions.

The new Sophos data centers would also provide organizations across all industries with the ability to store, manage and access data locally from Sophos Central, the cloud management platform that supports Sophos’ portfolio of advanced, next-generation cybersecurity solutions and services.
