Microsoft announced plans Tuesday to offer its commercial cloud services from Indian data centres as it seeks to tap what it calls a $2 trillion market in the country where Internet use is growing rapidly.
The move is part of the US
tech giant's strategy to prepare for a world in which all data is stored
online in locked accounts as it attempts to keep its market edge, with
desktop use declining.
Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella said the company would set up data
centres in three Indian cities by the end of 2015, describing the country's
demand for cloud services as "incredible".
"Last year, our cloud business in India grew over by 100pc," said
Nadella, on his first trip to India after taking the top job at the company
in February.
"Buoyed by that success, we have now decided to offer cloud services from
local data centres," he told reporters.
