Spectranet, India’s fastest growing integrated communication services provider and Netmagic Solutions, India’s largest pure-play Managed IT Hosting Services Provider, today announced a strategic partnership to collaborate across multiple business avenues.

As part of this partnership Spectranet will set up India’s first multi-location commercial DiD (Datacenter-in-Datacenter) across Netmagic’s datacenters in Mumbai, Noida, Bangalore and Chennai.  Spectranet will independently deliver service and support to their customers hosted at the DiDs, with Netmagic providing the core datacenter infrastructure support and services.  This is the first such deal in the datacenter space in India where a communication services provider has partnered with a pure-play Data Center Service provider. 

Also as part of this deal, Netmagic will benefit from Spectranet’s vast fibre and IP network and shall be able to extend these services to its customers. However, Netmagic will continue to be a carrier neutral hosting provider.

The partnership opportunity is worth Rs. 200 Crores and will help Spectranet and Netmagic leverage each other’s core competencies to deliver greater value to their customers. Globally, in mature markets, this business model is common within the datacenter space, where an end-user focused service provider partners with a pure-play datacenter service provider for collocation space and related services while focusing on customer service & support. This model provides cost and operational efficiencies for both players.

Says Mr. Udit Mehrotra, Managing Director, Spectranet, “While Spectranet has been providing Datacenter services since 2000, our footprint has been largely limited to Delhi and Bangalore region. This partnership will enable us to rapidly roll out services across the top 4 Enterprise and SMB markets in India. The model ensures that the service delivery and management is entirely done by Spectranet, while leveraging the underlying state-of-the-art infrastructure available at the Netmagic facilities. This partnership will also enable Netmagic to leverage Spectranet’s core strengths in intra-city connectivity to offer integrated connectivity and datacenter solutions in the market.”

Says  Mr.  Sharad Sanghi, Founder & CEO, Netmagic Solutions, “We believe that this is a visionary and path-breaking move made by both companies. Given the growth opportunity in the marketplace and cost benefits to be had, the model is a win-win partnership for both organisations. This partnership also comes as an acknowledgment of Netmagic’s leadership position in the Managed IT hosting services space that we have built over the last 14 years”.

Awarded ‘Data Center Service Provider of the Year 2011′ award by Frost & Sullivan, Netmagic  has more than 2,00,000 square feet of datacenter space including the recently launched state-of-the-art 40,000 square feet datacenter in Noida to service the NCR region.

For affordable server hosting services, Data center Co-location is the most beneficial option. For co-location, the Data Center should be located in a secure place and should have excellent physical environment along with technologically advanced infrastructure.

Spectranet’s Co-location Servers are maintained round the clock and throughout a year with excellent HVAC and stringent security systems.

Spectranet’s Data Center is constructed to world class hosting standards as defined by the “Uptime Institute, USA”.  The data center complies with T3 level. The facility is built across the ground floor, and protected against natural disasters like floods and earthquakes.

The data center is not only shock proof but also fireproof. To deal with fire, the latest technology such as state- of –the- art smoke detection and GAS based fire suppression systems, are used as an inherent part of Spectranet’s data centers. The co-location services of Spectranet are engineered to the highest levels with extensive systems to address security and network redundancy, enabling Spectranet to offer 99.9% infrastructure availability guarantee.

Security

Fire Suppression has three levels of redundancy namely Gas Fired Systems, Carbon Monoxide based systems and Water Sprinkler based systems.

The wire conduits and the fire protection systems are installed on false flooring and ceiling.

The entire facility around the data center is also equipped with a fire detection and smoke alarm system to alert the administration group in case of fire hazards, before this can affect the data center area.

Physical Protection Systems

The entire premise is monitored through video based close circuit TV system for 24X7 security surveillance.

General level security personnel are available on 24 hour basis at all the entry and exit point and the entrance of any non-employee is restricted to only one entry point.

Physical entry of any visitor or non-employee beyond the reception is permitted only with the authorized employee presence within the facility.

Physical access to the main Data Center facility is protected through a biometric fingerprint Scan facility with an added access card based authentication system.

Multi-homed Network & Centralized NMS (Network Management System)

The core network backbone is based on high-speed multiple megabit links which ensures high uptime for customers running their businesses to tight SLA’s.  Trained operation technicians monitor and support internet network and customer applications equipments on 24/7 basis. Component level failures are detected by triggering alarms in the local Network Operation Center which allows our trained personnel to quickly respond and ensure that systems are operational. Our advanced Network Monitoring system even has an inbuilt capability to upgrade itself when it reaches 70% utilization, thereby addressing the issue of infrastructure scalability.

Innovative Support

Uninterrupted Power System

A high level of redundancy on the power front makes Spectranet a Self-Sustained Power Generation Unit.

The First Power backup comes from three redundant HSD Fuel Based Generator Sets. They generate power for all the commercial activities taking place over the total 20,000 sq ft area. These three units are built on a redundant circuit for usage with load sharing to generate electricity non-stop 24 hours a day.

Current power UPS systems are built on two 80 KVA units from APC in a redundant loop to run for full load 2 hour mode in case of a failure of the primary backup system. They provide clean conditioned power to the racks.

Atmospheric Conditioning

The special units of Data Centers deploy automated Tata Liebert Systems in pairs of 10 TR and 5 TR built on a full redundancy loop. The average temperature maintained in the data center is 17 degrees.

Based on bottom up airflow systems, the environment is controlled for atmospheric composition.

The Data Center Facility is isolated from the 2X170 TR air conditioning system of main facility. This system is hence utilized purely as a backup option in case of a failure in the main system.

Redundant Connectivity

Multiple STM1 fiber optic capacity across different routes, cable systems for data uplink are delivered to different POP’s of Spectranet across India to offer highest level of redundancy.

India has been dreaming of setting up city-wide Wi-Fi networks since 2008, when the Bombay Municipal Corporation forwarded an over ambitious plan of using Wi-Fi. The Rs. 50 crore project was intended to design an intranet, which people could use to communicate with one another. The municipality wanted the network up and running within six months. Bangalore, Nagpur and Pune are some other cities vying for Wi-Fi enabled city status.

Girish Mehta, CMO Telemedia Services, Bharti Airtel, commented, “Huge investment is required to completely unwire a city. In the past, efforts were made, that too only in select commercial or residential pockets.” He added that inhibiting factors included low customer patronage and high usage charges.

A Reliance spokesperson said, “For any network rollout there is a certain viability check that needs to be done. India has been going through a phase of technology conflict on the success potential of wireless technology for data access. No rollouts can happen without tech alignment. There has to be a balance between the avenue structure and revenues. Now that the auction for 3G is over, operators will be in a better position to design their strategies” Read More….
