Tulip Data Center Services Pvt Ltd has announced the commercial launch of its Bengaluru Data Center, Tulip Data City (TDC), which is Asia’s largest and the world’s third largest Data center. Sachin Pilot, Hon’ble Minister of State for Communication and IT inaugurated this world-class Data center.

The Tulip Data City is a multi-tiered facility built to tier 4 and tier 3 standards.  Large hosted Data Center facilities such as this one are multi-tenanted, and because of the scale, are far more efficient than smaller facilities, therefore saving huge amounts of power.

It is a matter of pride that India today boasts of a world class Data center, which is the largest outside of the US.”  -
