The parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, Meta, is probably going to establish its first data center in India at the Chennai campus of Reliance Industries. Mark Zuckerberg, one of Meta's co-founders, reportedly went to Anant Ambani's pre-wedding party in Jamnagar in March. He therefore agreed to this with Reliance when he signed the agreement.
The data center will assist Meta in handling locally generated content from users of its applications, such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. On the other hand, no formal announcement about the deal has yet been made.
Meta will be able to run four or five nodes through this campus.
Faster data processing in India will be possible thanks to Meta's ability to run four to five nodes at various locations throughout the nation, thanks to this campus. Currently, Meta's data center in Singapore receives data from users in India.
Experts in the field claim that local advertisements, in addition to content, would enhance the user experience with Meta Local Data Center. In addition, this will lower the price of international data centers.
Ten acres make up this campus. The 10-acre campus is a three-way joint venture between Digital Realty, Reliance Industries, and Brookfield Asset Management, located in Chennai's Ambattur Industrial Estate. It has an IT load capacity of up to 100 megawatts (MW).
In March, Mark Zuckerberg visited India.
The CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, was present at the pre-wedding of Anant Ambani, the younger son of tycoon Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant. From March 1st to March 3rd, Jamnagar, Gujarat, hosted this event. Participating at this event were numerous other companies, such as Gautam Adani, the owner of Adani Group, and Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft.
Data centers: What are they?
An extensive collection of network-connected computer servers is called a data center. Businesses utilize it to handle and store massive volumes of data. Data centers are needed for the storage of the vast amounts of data generated by social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, banking, retail, healthcare, and other transactions.
These facilities include information processing, transmission, and data storage, as well as functions pertaining to the applications used by the business. It can be compared to a server that manages all of a business's IT. Social networking firms store all of their users' data and information in their own data centers in the digital age. These data centers house thousands of servers.
