I know it\u2019s being late today so I\u2019ll try to go quickly through the presentation.<\/p>\n<p>My name is Dr. Rajeev Papneja, I am the Executive Vice President for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/\"><strong>ESDS Software Solution.<\/strong><\/a> ESDS is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/our-datacenter\"><strong>Data Center <\/strong><\/a>and we have some niche products that we have made in the field of Cloud Technology. Before I go forward\u2026. since there would be no time for question and answers, I\u2019d like to let you know that I\u2019ll be here today and tomorrow AND we also have a power discussion tomorrow, so I\u2019d really like all of you whoever would like to discuss the topics that I\u2019m going to present, to please attend the power discussion. Where we can discuss, exchange views, I want to know your comments and suggestions on whatever points I\u2019m going to be presenting here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make in India is a very big initiative and part of Digital India<\/strong>. So the points that I\u2019d be touching today, are basically around Digital India \u2013 one of them is Data Privacy, the other is Cloud and Data centers. Without this, Digital India is not possible.<\/p>\n<p>Briefly, about ESDS, it is a company started in India, almost 10 years back. Today we have global presence in UK, USA and India with more than 250 employees and around 34,000 customers. It is a group of companies as I said in UK, USA and India.<\/p>\n<p>What we are into? We provide all kinds of Data Center services, whether it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/dedicated-server-hosting\"><strong>Dedicated Servers,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/disaster-recovery-hosting\"><strong>Disaster Recovery<\/strong><\/a>, all kinds of Hosting services. We are also<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/sap-hana-cloud-hosting\"><strong> SAP<\/strong><\/a> (Germany) Certified Cloud hosting partners, we have a Tier III data center in Nashik and a new data center coming up in Mumbai, which <strong>would be India\u2019s first Uptime Certified Tier III DC<\/strong>, that\u2019ll be operational next month (August 2015).<\/p>\n<p>The products that I\u2019m going to take you through today is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/enlight-cloud-hosting.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>eNlight Cloud<\/strong>, <strong>which is World\u2019s First Auto Scaling Cloud<\/strong><\/a> and <strong>I mean it that,<span style=\"color: #003366;\"> it\u2019s Worlds 1<sup>st<\/sup> Auto Scaling Cloud<\/span>. <\/strong>Yet nobody has an Auto Scaling Cloud in the World.

Again, all these products revolve around Make In India.<\/p>\n<p>Now\u2026. Shri. Satyanarayanji has made my life easier already, because yesterday he spoke about the Vision of Digital India and my first three slides revolved around, I wanted to explain and start with What is Digital India, but he did that yesterday. So quickly, \u2018It\u2019s a program to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy\u2019, around three factors, which is integrating the Government departments and the citizens together by providing:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Digital Infrastructure as a Utility to Every Citizen,<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Governance &amp; On Demand Services, and<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital Empowerment of Citizens , like we have the Digital Locker, which just got released two days back.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These were the Nine Pillars, again he has already spoken about, so I\u2019ll not put my time on that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/9_pillars_Digital_India.jpg\" alt=\"9_pillars_Digital_India\" width=\"1001\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/9_pillars_Digital_India.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/9_pillars_Digital_India-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/9_pillars_Digital_India-660x361.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now <strong>what does all these Nine pillars mean, what do they translate into?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They translate into:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Broadband for 250,000 Gram Panchayats,<\/li>\n<li>Universal access to mobile connectivity for 42,300 villages,<\/li>\n<li>1,50,000 post offices that will be now Multi-Service centers,<\/li>\n<li>All database and information needs to be electronic. We already spoke about passport this morning; we are speaking about Digital Locker to be in place.<\/li>\n<li>Using IT to automate, response, analyze the data and resolve public grievances \u2013 an important part of Digital India<\/li>\n<li>Massive online Open Courses \u2013 Lot of streaming, streaming and data streaming.<\/li>\n<li>We just spoke about Health Care, the gentleman over there was speaking about Online Medical Records to be provided,<\/li>\n<li>Online Medical Supplies,<\/li>\n<li>PAN India patient information, this is what we touched during our panel discussion<\/li>\n<li>GIS, Mobile Banking, Financial Inclusion services,<\/li>\n<li>eCourts, ePolicies, ePolice<\/li>\n<li>Digital Locker, BioMetric attendance\u2026. the list is endless<\/li>\n<li>We can go for eGreetings by Government<\/li>\n<li>eBooks, National portals<\/li>\n<li>SMS based Disaster and weather forecasting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We can keep on going\u2026..<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>BUT, it also means, DATA, DATA, DATA and a MASSIVE amount of Data. That is what we are talking about, all these things finally boils down to only data at the back. This is what we cannot ignore, and <strong>this also means Big Data<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Big_Data\"><\/span>What is Big Data?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is the data that is being continuously generated \u2013 structured and un-structured. Now the challenge is, how do we use this big data? There\u2019s information all around us, there\u2019s data all around us.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday somebody very clearly mentioned that the data has to be transformed into information. To simply explain, if I write 39 number on the board what does it mean?&#8230; It means nothing, 39 is just simply data. It could age of somebody, right\u2026. It could be number of something\u2026.. so once you say the age of a person is 39, it becomes information. Now it is related to something\u2026 and add to it the latest in trend which people are calling the Internet of Things.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Internet_of_Things\"><\/span><strong>What is Internet of Things?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are sensors all around us \u2013 mobile has got sensors, there are GPS sensors, there are sensors in watches. Any digital thing that you take, it has got sensors. What does the sensor do, it records the data, sends it to some server, and server will process the data. All this is doing an exponential bombarding of data. Fed by sensors in trillions working with intelligent system and billions of systems being worked upon. <strong>What do we do with this data?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Number of Internet connected devices have already surpassed the number of human beings on the planet in 2011. And somebody already mentioned that by 2020, you\u2019ll be having 50 billion devices. What does that mean\u2026.? Based on reports filed by Telco providers, if you see the exponential growth of data in volume, it is 400 peta bytes in one year. And this is just last year when<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/iot\"><strong> Internet of things<\/strong><\/a> just started. Imagine what is going to happen in next four years\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Now what does it mean&#8230; Now Digital India means, certainly something different at the back\u2026 It means, a pile of challenges.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It means, where do I store so much data? It is not as simple as we are thinking.<\/li>\n<li>It means, how do I protect the privacy of data? What if the data gets into wrong hands\u2026<\/li>\n<li>It means, how do I manage all these devices, when there would be 50 billion devices. How are they going to integrate and work together?<\/li>\n<li>It also means, how to I manage and maintain the infrastructure at the back?, how do I manage the datacenters? AND\u2026<\/li>\n<li>How do I minimize the import of hardware from China? How do I do that?&#8230; A very important point, because along with everything else, there is economy to be taken care of, how do I do that?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now let\u2019s see, it means to think on:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Data Privacy Policy<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cloud and Data Centers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>without that, Digital India is not possible.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Now\u2026 I\u2019m just putting a food for thought here\u2026 mind it\u2019s just views of a citizen and an entrepreneur of a data center. Yes, it can be debated, but we don\u2019t have time to debate. We will do this after the session whenever we meet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Food for thought<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>We all know, data of Indian citizens and Indian Companies is hosted by Data Centre all over the world today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Most of the Indian data resides in US, UK, Hong Kong and Singapore<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It is a big possibility and actually, it is 100% happening, that our data is being used for analytics all across the world. If you go to your email or your Gmail, you will see based on your email content, you will have relevant advertisements coming on the sides. How does it happen, if it cannot read your email? So definitely, analytics is happening.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Print media and Digital media companies are hosting their data in Singapore and US. Now the question here is, we are the first country to send a spacecraft to Mars in first attempt, but we are not ready to trust our technology scientist to host data in Indian data center.<\/p>\n<p>I still do not understand, the Global Mobile app revenue has jumped 10 times in three years, which has resulted in valuation of the companies growing multi-billion dollars. Flipkart has become 1700 Crore company, how is that happening? and\u2026if you see, WhatsApp was bought by Facebook for $19 billion, right. And 40% of users of WhatsApp are Indians, because Indian population is so big. And they are all youth, and <strong>what did government get out of it<\/strong>\u2026<strong>nothing!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With 40% Indian users, there is a company, who is selling to another company, and Indian Government gets zero out of it. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Major advertisements today are happening on Mobile phones. We buy on mobile phones, we buy from Amazon, we buy from other American companies, <strong>what Indian Government gets out of it?<\/strong>\u2026Nothing\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It is quite possible that this is going to increase exponentially, if you see the volume, this $19 billion deal was a very small deal. It was the first deal of its kind. If you see, this deal is going to be bigger and bigger and bigger AND we will still get nothing out of it. Our economy will still remain the same, why? How can we take benefit of it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>India lags behind in data privacy policies as compared to developed nations<\/strong>. And all these, mind it I have references for this, I\u2019m not just speaking without any references \u2013 after this I\u2019ll provide reference for everything.<\/p>\n<p>Social media has become the most effective tool in peace disruption and it has played a major role in blackberry riots, in the Delhi rape protest, in the Muzaffarnagar riots. And, we have to take help from foreign agencies to get data of all these chats because the data doesn\u2019t reside in India. Facebook, Nimbus, WeChat, everything resides outside of India. <strong>You are dependent on the mercy of these governments to give you data.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cloud_computing_readiness.jpg\" alt=\"Cloud_computing_readiness\" width=\"879\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cloud_computing_readiness.jpg 993w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cloud_computing_readiness-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cloud_computing_readiness-660x453.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 879px) 100vw, 879px\" \/><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now these are the references<\/strong>, if you see, Cloud users will fully accept and adopt cloud computing only if they are confident that their private information stored in the Cloud wherever in the world, will not be used, in a wrong way.

So, if Amazon is coming in India and the Cloud is increasing so much, why not Make in India products?<\/p>\n<p>The European commission, they have a policy on the protection of individuals with regards to the processing of personal data. They take that as seriously even though it\u2019s just citizens data. Same is there if you look at Singapore, they have a privacy policy for them.<\/p>\n<p>Now\u2026in Pune there was a murder that happened over, somebody did something about Shivaji and they did some post, which <strong>was done through a Chinese IP<\/strong>. It was not even done through this guy, but he got killed. And we have no control over who posted that.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dr. Abdul Kalam says that there would be two types of nations, 1.

Now I change my food for thought and I leave this\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food For Thought<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Can government have policies, where establishments of local data centers in India is given preference or even if external people who want to have data centers like Amazon and Microsoft, they should tie-up with Indian ventures, just like they did manufacturing 15 years ago \u2013 Hero Honda tied, Maruti Suzuki tied-up. They can also tie-up, Indians have a 51% stake, AND the data stays in India \u2013 in the boundary. It could still be Amazon, we are not against their technology.<\/p>\n<p>Can there be a policy wherein Social media companies serving the India Customers also get registered in India, Like WhatsApp? and have Indian Laws applicable on them.<\/p>\n<p>Can it be made mandatory for atleast <strong>Indian private and public companies to host their data in India<\/strong>? Why should they host outside? Don\u2019t we have technology specialists in India?<\/p>\n<p>If this doesn\u2019t happen, what is happening today you know, is all the data is getting hosted outside and the outside world is going up and coming up in the field of data warehousing and data analytics. <strong>OUR data they are using to become technology masters in data analytics because the data is stored with them and not with us<\/strong>. So when will India grow in data analytics if the data is not in India.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can we encourage joint ventures, acquisitions and mergers<\/strong> for those foreign data centers within India, keeping 51% ownership within India. Even government can have stake in this kind of business. It is a very profitable business; it\u2019s going to be data data and data as I told you. Data centers is inevitable in India.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will be the Benefits?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There will be Huge savings in Foreign Exchange<\/li>\n<li>There will be local employment<\/li>\n<li>There will be security of Indian Data<\/li>\n<li>Full control of Government over any religious provocation, and<\/li>\n<li>Huge tax revenue from all the transactions that happen through mobile, online, Internet whatever way they are happening.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I was going through the <strong>GI Cloud \u2013 Meghraj<\/strong>, which is an initiative of Government.

You do not have to go to control panel to ask for any resources. Based on the load that is coming in, it will automatically scale itself up and down. Now while the world is using horizontal scaling, the concept that we have come-up with, <strong>as the load increases your virtual machines are going to scale vertically<\/strong>, AND if it increases more, then it\u2019ll start scaling horizontally, and <strong>that too without human intervention, without any reboot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/vertical_auto_scaling_cloud.jpg\" alt=\"vertical_auto_scaling_cloud\" width=\"809\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/vertical_auto_scaling_cloud.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/vertical_auto_scaling_cloud-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/vertical_auto_scaling_cloud-660x445.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>If these are the resources in normal cloud allocated to you, you are paying for these resources. The beauty of this cloud is like using electricity at your home. If you are using this much, you are only going to pay this much, because it is auto-scaling. It is only giving you what you need.<\/p>\n<p>I was in TechSabha\u2019s in PSU\u2019s, and the fundamental question last-to-last month was, \u2018<strong>If any kind of disaster was to strike today, are the PSU\u2019s ready for disaster?<\/strong>\u2019 Surprisingly, <u>only 2% of PSU\u2019s has disaster recovery in place<\/u>. So we are all talking about Digital India and there are 277 PSU\u2019s out of which only 3-4% have a disaster recovery or a fallback plan in place. \u2018<strong>WHY?<\/strong>&#8230;. I asked them this question, what are the reasons? And it boiled down to these three things:\u2019<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Up-front capital investment<\/strong> \u2013 They said, if I put 1 Cr. in making a DC, I need to put another 1 Cr. or atleast 80 lakhs to make a DR. And DR might never happen, it\u2019s just a waste of investment sometimes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>People<\/strong> \u2013 They also said, extra staff required to maintain<\/li>\n<li><strong>Operations<\/strong> \u2013 They also said operations, there will be audit that will come in place for DR.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, I asked them:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What if, we could get a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/disaster-recovery-hosting.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DR solution at 30% of the original cost<\/a> to you<\/strong>? So if you have invested 1 Cr., I\u2019ll get you DR in 30 lakhs.<\/li>\n<li>What if <strong>you never had to pay for IT resources and you only pay when disaster strikes<\/strong>? till then you don\u2019t pay.<\/li>\n<li>What <strong>if you never had to purchase any and maintain<\/strong> any infrastructure?<\/li>\n<li>What if<strong> the IT resources you need increase and decrease in size based on the need<\/strong>?, and<\/li>\n<li>What <strong>if you had a metered usage<\/strong>, so you only pay for how much you use and when you use?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Why is there a huge cost involved? Because in traditional disaster recovery setup, DR site is made exactly similar to your original site. This is a traditional DR setup, if there\u2019s a primary DC, let\u2019s assume that they are paying Rs. 2 lakhs per month. If you make a similar setup for a disaster recovery at another location, we will be paying another Rs. 2 lakh. So the total cost for them is, Rs. 4 lakh per month, right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I propose is, to cut down the cost on DR.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s assume you have a main DC where you are paying Rs. 2 lakh. There is no need to make a similar DR site setup. What WE do is, you put it on an eNlight Cloud at a different location, in one of the data centers. In normal course, you are using your primary datacenter; only minimum IT resources are used from DR center, for replication. So you are only paying like, Rs. 60,000 per month. which is like <strong>70% less. <\/strong>When disaster happens, automatically these virtual machines are going to scale up. AND NOW you will be using Actual resources on your Disaster Recovery center. This is the time when you will be paying the actual cost. And when the primary site comes up, the DR servers will scale down. So again you will be having 70% of savings. And, you will be having metered usage of resources every 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>This product <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/awards-accolades.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has won the Best Innovation in Cloud Technology Award<\/a><\/strong> and we received it by the hands of Mr. Marten Pieters, who is the CEO and MD of Vodafone, in the presence of our IT minister Honorable RaviShankar Prasad ji, last to last month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A complete Make In India product Cloud<\/strong>. All state datacenters are paying for licenses of VMware, I don\u2019t know why. When this is such a big initiative, why don\u2019t we do it?<\/p>\n<p>With state datacenters we have invested thousands and Crores in state DC\u2019s with only 8% utilization is happening. And by the time this utilization goes to 20 or 30 percent, all the servers will become obsolete, right! Because in 5 years their life will be over.<\/p>\n<p>So why don\u2019t we go on a PPP model, where we device a policy where Government can work with Private data centers and make optimum use of servers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Again_how_do_you_manage_all_the_data_centers\"><\/span><strong>Again, how do you manage all the data centers?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is no way to manage all the datacenters, you need products where you can manage racks, you need products to manage all devices, you need products that can manage all services that are running on your server, on all the ports of your server. That can give you uptime, how much your server is used in state data center and for much time it was sitting idle. What is the inward traffic, what is the outward traffic, what are the IP\u2019s that are being used.<\/p>\n<p>You need a product to manage all the different Cloud whether it is VMware, Xen, HyperV. For all this, there are made in India products, there is a single portal for all this. I would urge government to look into these products. They are winning awards, from the people from the world, but still we are relying on outside world to get products from Microsoft from VmWare.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m not saying their products are bad, but why Make in India initiative only for manufacturing, why not for technology?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is of course many things, we have many products which are made in India. There is you know defacement happens on website, there are cross scripting that happens. So for all these there are different, there is domain reputation, SQL injections, we have some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/mtvscan-security.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Malware Trojans &amp; Vulnerability Scanners<\/a> made in India.<\/p>\n<p>So all-and-all, I just wanted to bring this point in front of everybody, that it is all going to be data-data and data. How do we make sure that the data stays in India? How do we make sure that we use Indian make in India products? and How do we make sure that Government and Indian Companies work together for the growth of the nation?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/case-studies.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6392 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Case_Study_Icon.png\" alt=\"ESDS_Case_Study_Icon\" width=\"290\" height=\"56\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Case_Study_Icon.png 328w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Case_Study_Icon-300x59.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/white-papers.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6393 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/White_Papers_Icon.png\" alt=\"esds_White_Papers_Icon\" width=\"290\" height=\"56\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/White_Papers_Icon.png 328w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/White_Papers_Icon-300x59.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Rajiv Papneja touches some crucial aspects of a very big initiative by Indian Government &#8216;Make in India&#8216; which is also a part of Digital India.
