NetActuate upgrades Mumbai cloud platform
Global infrastructure provider NetActuate has enhanced its Mumbai cloud platform with new 'ONE' capabilities. The upgrades are designed to strengthen options for performance, compliance, and connected architectures for businesses operating across India.
- NetActuate's 'ONE' platform is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) built on open-source software, designed to give businesses flexibility to deploy on virtual machines, bare metal, Kubernetes, or colocation setups. - The upgrade comes as India's data center capacity is projected to more than double from 950 MW in 2024 to an estimated 1800 MW by 2026, driven by a surge in data consumption and the growth of cloud-based services. - The Mumbai data center is a 50,000 square-foot, Tier III facility providing access to over 160 ISPs and direct connectivity to the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI). - For companies selling into the HR tech space, which saw a 102% increase in funding in 2025 compared to the previous year, infrastructure compliance is key; NetActuate's Mumbai facility is certified for ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. - NetActuate's presence in both Mumbai and Chennai allows customers to build more resilient, geographically diverse architectures for their applications across India. - The expansion reflects a broader trend in the Indian data center market, which is seeing a wave of consolidation as larger, well-funded players with AI-ready infrastructure are expected to acquire smaller operators. - The Indian HRTech sector now comprises over 6,900 companies, with notable funding rounds like the Rs 7 crore seed funding for employee analytics startup All Things People (ATP). - B2B SaaS companies selling technical products are increasingly adopting "pull marketing" strategies, using content like whitepapers and technical blog posts to attract and build trust with engineering and developer audiences.
