Vodafone Idea partners with Yotta to expand Indian data centers

Vi Business, the enterprise division of Vodafone Idea (Vi), has partnered with Yotta Data Services to expand its data center colocation and cloud services offering in India. The collaboration will enable Vi Business to provide its enterprise customers with integrated connectivity, cloud, and security solutions.

Vi asserts that it has connections to all of the primary data centers and cloud service providers, which enables it to provide end-to-end solutions such as colocation, managed servers, public cloud, direct cloud links, and security on its high-speed backbone network.

With its hyperscale Yotta NM1, Yotta TB1, and TB2 data centers in Navi Mumbai, as well as its Yotta D1 in Greater Noida, Yotta's presence in India is extensive. Additionally, the company has data center campuses and Edge data centers across the country.

The cash-strapped mobile operator Vi has yet to launch 5G services in India, despite having stated in April that it anticipates doing so shortly. The struggling operator, which was formed in 2018 as a result of the merger between Idea Cellular and Vodafone India, has fallen behind in the domestic 5G race, as rivals including Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio have gained ground.
