Roopesh highlights that Sify ’ s DCs are built to accommodate scale and flex . “ Each facility may have an overall capacity limited by infrastructure space for transformers , generators and chillers , but when a new facility is identified / designed , this total capacity is defined and accordingly the base building infrastructure is planned . The design allows flexibility to use this total power in multiples of standard POD configuration . We have floors supporting 800KW for very low density to 4800KW for high density customers . These flexible PODs are defined during the initial master design stage , allowing the business flexibility to design products accordingly .”
