Sovereign Before Sovereign Was Defined

For two decades, ESDS infrastructure has supported government, BFSI and enterprise-critical workloads across India. Today, ESDS operates Tier III certified, MeitY empanelled, Indian-owned data centers built for sovereign, compliant and mission-critical infrastructure deployments.

ESDS Sovereign Infrastructure Footprints

Built Here. Rooted Here. Running Here.

ESDS operates Indian-owned data centers across strategic locations in India, supporting enterprise, BFSI, government and mission-critical digital infrastructure workloads. Each facility is operational, Tier III certified and built for sovereign infrastructure, regulatory alignment and long-term operational continuity.

Nashik

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.

Navi Mumbai

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.

STPI Bengaluru

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.

STPI Mohali

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.

STPI Noida

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.

STPI Kolkata

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seven layers because a breach at one cannot mean a breach at all.

The Numbers That Matters

At ESDS, infrastructure performance and operational efficiency are engineered together. From power optimization to water treatment and low PUE operations, sustainability is built into how our data centers run every day.

Energy efficiency is not a marketing add-on. It is an engineering principle built into every facility.

Compliance-Ready. Audit-Cleared

ESDS data centers hold the international and Indian compliance certifications including ISO, PCI DSS 4.0, SOC I/II/III, CMMI Level 5, MeitY empanelled, STQC audited and Tier III TIA-942 rating. Certification coverage varies by facility - your compliance team can request the current certification matrix for any specific location. The documentation exists, is current and is available on request.

The workloads that matter most are already here. Is yours?

What to Expect When You Walk In.

Where is my data physically hosted ?

All ESDS Akash workloads run on Indian-owned, Indian-operated Tier-IV data centres in Nashik and Bengaluru. Your data never leaves Indian soil — and never falls under foreign jurisdiction (no CLOUD Act exposure).

You can choose primary region, DR region, and an air-gapped sovereign zone — all within India.

How is ESDS Akash priced ?

Quotes are issued in INR with no FX exposure. Pricing is consumption-based across compute, storage, network, and managed services — with reserved-instance discounts available for committed workloads.

Customers report a typical 40–60% TCO reduction versus comparable hyperscaler workloads, primarily driven by INR pricing, lower egress costs, and bundled managed services.

What certifications does ESDS hold?

ESDS is certified to international and Indian standards relevant to regulated workloads:

MeitY empanelled for Government Cloud (GI Cloud)
ISO 27001, 27017, 27018 — info security & cloud privacy
SOC 1 & SOC 2 Type II
STQC certified for defence-grade deployments
RBI IT Framework aligned
