Our Sovereign Data Center Footprints

Behind every digital transformation initiative lies infrastructure that must perform without compromise. ESDS delivers the geographic reach, operational resilience and enterprise-grade security required to support growth at any scale.

Nashik

ESDS Nashik DC

  • Where the Underdogs Built the Benchmark

Nobody expected ESDS’s sovereign cloud story to begin in Nashik. That was the point. No legacy to protect. No playbook to follow. Just a team building sovereign cloud and data center infrastructure long before the market started talking about digital sovereignty. What emerged here became the foundation of ESDS’s sovereign infrastructure footprint across India. Our largest facility. Our deepest operational capabilities. The backbone supporting enterprise, BFSI, government and mission-critical workloads. From here. Still from here.

DC-Mumbai

ESDS Airoli DC

  • Planned City. Unplanned Downtime? Never.

Built from scratch to support the scale, density and operational pressure Mumbai outgrew. Navi Mumbai was India’s urban experiment and it worked. This data center was built with the same intent: for workloads where uptime is measured in business impact, where a second of downtime costs and nobody in the boardroom finds it funny.

DC-STPI-Bengaluru

ESDS - STPI Bengaluru DC

  • The City That Argues About Tech at 2 AM. We Keep the Servers Running While They Do.

India’s startup capital. Its “we’ll disrupt that” capital. Bengaluru runs demanding workloads and demands demanding infrastructure. Built for density. GPU-ready. IoT-monitored. Designed for enterprises, platforms and digital businesses that operate around the clock. The city never sleeps. Neither does this data center.

DC-STPI-Mohali

ESDS - STPI Mohali DC

  • The north is serious about sovereignty. So are we.

Built for reliability, continuity and geographic resilience. Northern India’s enterprises and government workloads needed sovereign infrastructure designed to support long-term operational demands. Maximum geographic separation for disaster recovery pairing. The north is covered.

DC-STPI-Noida

ESDS - STPI Noida DC

  • The Capital's Backyard. The Country's Command Center.

Noida sits at the center of northern India’s enterprise and government activity. This facility brings MeitY-empanelled, sovereign infrastructure to workloads that demand compliance without compromise. STPI-registered. Built for density, operational continuity and mission-critical deployments. Sovereign, where it matters most.

DC-STPI-Kolkata

ESDS - STPI Kolkata DC

  • The east runs deep. So does this infrastructure.

India's eastern enterprises, government bodies and financial institutions run serious workloads. This facility brings sovereign, compliant infrastructure to match. Built for the institutions that have always defined this city. The east, covered right.

CEL-ESDS

Regional by presence. Sovereign by design. Choose your fortress.

Tier III Is Engineering. Here Is The Proof

Tier III certification means concurrent maintainability i.e. infrastructure components can be serviced without impacting live workloads. Here is what that standard looks like inside every ESDS data center. Not on paper. In practice.

Power

Power

  • Dual utility power feeds
  • N+N redundant UPS architecture
  • N+1 automated diesel generator backup
  • Automatic transfer switch with near-instantaneous failover
  • Scalable rack PDUs from 3kW to 20kW
  • Zero single point of failure

Not designed to recover from failure, designed to never experience it.

Cooling

Cooling

  • Precision CRAC units with N+1 redundancy
  • Hot and cold aisle containment
  • Under-floor plenum distribution
  • IoT-based DCIM temperature and humidity monitoring
  • Enhanced thermal management zones for GPU and high-density compute racks

Your hardware runs at the temperature it was designed for. Always.

Structured Cabling

Structured Cabling

  • OM4 multimode and OS2 single-mode fibre
  • Cat6A copper throughout
  • Colour-coded, labelled and fully documented
  • Hot and cold aisle separation maintained at cable tray level

Nothing improvised. Nothing undocumented. Every cable has a name, a path and a reason.

Connectivity

Connectivity

  • Multi-Gbps fibre-optic backbone network
  • Multi-homed ISP architecture with BGP full-table routing
  • Carrier-neutral meet-me room
  • Cross-connect and MPLS capable
  • Inter-DC low-latency replication links for active-active DR

No single ISP dependency. Ever.

Fire Protection

Fire Protection

  • VESDA aspirating smoke detection catches fire before it starts
  • Pre-action zoned suppression
  • Fire-rated walls, floors and compartmentalization to BS 476 standards

No water anywhere near your hardware.

NOC and Monitoring

NOC and Monitoring

  • 24×7×365 on-site NOC with DCIM platform integration
  • Real-time telemetry across power, cooling, network and environmental parameters
  • SNMP, Syslog and NetFlow monitoring
  • Predictive maintenance via threshold-based alerting

Not a remote NOC watching dashboards. Engineers on the ground. Always.

Built for Workloads Where a Security Breach Is Simply Not an Option

Physical security is not a feature. It is the first condition of sovereign infrastructure. Every ESDS data center implements seven concentric layers, from the perimeter to the rack. Each layer assumes the previous one has been breached.

Perimeter Security

  • Secured facility boundaries
  • Monitored entry and exit points
  • Surveillance coverage across critical external zones

Controlled Facility Entry

  • Visitor logging and identity verification processes
  • Controlled vehicle and personnel access mechanisms
  • Authorized access management procedures

24×7 CCTV Monitoring

  • Continuous video surveillance across critical facility areas
  • Centralized monitoring and recording systems
  • Security visibility across operational zones

Controlled Access Zones

  • Layered entry systems for sensitive infrastructure areas
  • Restricted access workflows for controlled environments
  • Access designed to reduce unauthorized movement within facilities

Biometric Authentication

  • Biometric-enabled access control for designated zones
  • Multi-level authentication workflows for sensitive infrastructure areas
  • Access restricted to authorized personnel

Zone-Based Access Control

  • Granular access permissions across operational environments
  • Access logging and audit trail visibility
  • Controlled movement across infrastructure zones

Dedicated Deployment Environments

  • Support for isolated or dedicated deployment environments, where required
  • Controlled access procedures for client-specific infrastructure areas
  • Designed to support enterprise security and compliance requirements

Questions Before You Deploy

01

What compliance certifications does ESDS hold for regulated and mission-critical workloads?

ESDS data centers carry an exhaustive compliance stack built for audit-ready deployments - ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27701:2019, PCI DSS 4.0, SOC I and II, CMMI Level 5, TIA 942-B Rated 3 and MeitY empanelment for Government Cloud. Whether you are a bank, a government body or a listed enterprise, the documentation is current, complete and available on request.

02

How does ESDS ensure business continuity if one data center goes down?

With six Tier III certified facilities across Nashik, Navi Mumbai, Bengaluru, Mohali, Noida and Kolkata, ESDS offers maximum geographic separation for DR pairing. Each facility runs N+N redundant UPS, N+1 diesel generators with 24-hour onsite fuel and 24x7 on-site NOC, so a regional event at one location does not cascade into a workload failure.

03

Does ESDS support air-gapped or isolated deployments for sensitive workloads?

Yes. ESDS offers private caged suites where even ESDS personnel require client authorisation to enter. For workloads that demand absolute isolation like defence, classified government data, sensitive financial systems, the physical and logical controls enforce your rules at the infrastructure level.
