He has given his expert advice that establishing the data embassies in such a potential risk area is a huge risk and added that Hyderabad was one of the least active seismic zones in the country, which makes it an ideal location for setting up such data centers.   

KTR also said in Gujarat there is a security threat as Gujarat shares its border with another country, while Hyderabad is very safe and peaceful, he suggested that the interests of client countries should be considered while choosing the location for Data  Embassies.  He said global data center majors such as Amazon Web Services to Microsoft Azure have chosen Telangana to invest in setting up their large data centers.  He also said that the Telangana government had launched its Data Centre Policy in 2016 and offered several important incentives and approval provisions to facilitate the setting up of data centers.  Access to dual power grids, low-cost power supply, and a high-speed fiber network were a few such provisions.  he said.  (Maxim News)
