Edge data centres are small facilities placed close to users to cut latency for streaming, gaming, fintech, IoT and 5G. In India they are spreading into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, typically on 0.5–2 acre plots or inside existing buildings with strong fibre and stable power.
Key takeaways
- Small and close to users
- Growing fast in Tier 2/3 cities
- Fibre and power reliability are key
What edge data centres do
Cache and process data near users so apps respond faster and backbone traffic falls.
Where they are going
Cities like Lucknow, Jaipur, Indore, Coimbatore, Kochi, Patna, Bhubaneswar and Guwahati.
