Hyderabad: The Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) will set up a data centre in Hyderabad. The data centre will address the storage and cloud needs of small and medium enterprises.
STPI Director-General Omkar Rai and STPI (Andhra Pradesh) Director Venugopal have met the AP Information Technology Minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah here on Wednesday to discuss the proposal.
“About 47,000 sq ft of built-up area at the STPI building area is lying vacant. We have decided to allot 27,000 sq ft from this unutilised space to the gaming and animation industry. While the data centre will be established in 10,000 sq ft space, the remaining 10,000 sq ft will be utilised to train Mee Seva (e-Governance project) staff,” the IT Minister said here in a statement.
With a view to developing the IT industry in the tier-II and tier-III cities, STPI will be asked to allot land to firms at a rental rate lower than the market rate.
Meanwhile, a delegation from Oracle has met the Minister. It has agreed to help the State government in providing training to students at Jawahar Knowledge Centres, the Minister said.
